[Steve B]

Well I'm clearing out the neighbours garage today so I have somewhere even closer to home now to keep her..... So you're all stuck with me :)

Steve

GlWs

and is that WGC, im just a stones throw from there!

[Steve B]

Yes.... I work on the counter at Bennetts.


I have put the "word out" that I need alternative car parking so fingers crossed something will come off.



Steve

[martin770]

Car looks great Steve, good luck with the sale....... Or garage !

[mattCSLnut]

Yes.... I work on the counter at Bennetts.

Steve
Don't do it Steve :( take is for a proper blast and all will be well again :supz: after that put "Wanted Ads" for Cesil storage solutions in various places.

[Steve B]

I know what you mean... It's bar far the best car I've ever owned in virtually every way, I can keep it at my dads but I won't have easy access to it and the fact I like to use it a lot will be too painful knowing its not on my doorstep and easy to use...


Steve

[Yanto]

Storing a car is easy Steve if you REALLY want to keep it mate ;)

[Steve B]

I must admit I am leaning towards leaving her covered up in my dads garage for a while, partly why I've priced her quite high..


Steve

[alexk]

I will agree with Yanto (this time ;) ).
Surely you can get parking space in the UK can't you ?

Might be an idea to call your local council Steve and ask them if they have any empty garages available "To Let" near your home ?

[shimmy]

Yes.... I work on the counter at Bennetts.

Good man... You know it makes sense :-D

[Steve B]

"Possible" good news...... Hopefully by this evening I'll have a garage..:supz: Well I hope so as I've just ordered a pair of rear braided brake hoses lol (already got fronts with the BBK)...


Steve

[Graham]

Lovely motor Steve

[Neil M]

Hope all goes well Steve, it only seems like yesterday that you were looking for one!

I never thought I would see that admission in print, "latex gloves". Should have gone for Nitrex, it's the 21st century: http://www.blackmambagloves.co.uk/ :whistle:

Steve

Do you sell Nitrex gloves, apparently they are very good for making model aeroplanes.

[Steve B]

Yeah...... Black or blue..


PS...... Cars still for sale :(

I'm going to leave the advert exclusive to the register until Monday when I'm going to list her on Pistonheads...

Steve, Autotrader is the way to go or as well as PH....PH tends to attract buyers wanting to part-ex their fiesta!!

Steve

I take it renting a local council Garage idea didn't work out for you Steve ? :(

[Steve B]

There's nothing close enough that I feel happy leaving her in unfortunately...


Steve

[sjb]

Don't blame you, when I was looking into a council garage for my '63 Vw campervan a few years back all were at least 20mins from home, damp, asbestos roofs, no electric and built in the '60's, ie wide enough for an old mini ! Not worth the worry of always thinking is it safe.....

[Neil M]

Polarised windscreen (think that's what it's called)

If it's got the lilac tinge, which it appears to in the pics, it called "Comfort Climate" windscreen - the posh option. Polarising is what it does to the suns rays. You should know that you have the Build Data!:thumbs:

It might be interesting to know what percentage of mirror failures with this screen are, as opposed to the conventional tinted Green stripe screen? Q - AlexK!:notworthy:

[Steve B]

Yep that's the screen I have.....

1st part incorrect, 2nd quite interesting....


Comfort climate windscreens ( the clue is in the name) block infra red light from entering through the windscreen, helping the 'climate' remain 'comfortable'



A polarised windscreen would cost about £5000 I reckon....

[Rick H]

What about a prescription windscreen? Expensive with varifocal / photochromic options?

Mr Connelly had some good ideas :)

[Steve B]

More importantly...... someone buy my car lol..:smokin:

[Neil M]

I think you got the gist Steve, without having to discuss the physics of light indices; refraction, reflection, not to mention absorption :hahaha:

[northernjim]

I would if it had a polarised windscreen :smokin::hahaha::hahaha:

[Rick H]

polarised windscreen + polarised shades = blackness if you tilt your head a tad too much !

[Neil M]

Vision Express now doing windscreens? :hahaha:

[northernjim]

Don't sell it Steve!:beer:

precisely...............;)

[Steve B]

Don't sell it Steve!:beer:



I don't really want to but I'm not leaving her parked outside in all weathers, I clean her every time I come home after going out and it'd kill my OCD having her sitting outside dirty :(

[cslgirl]

Car cover???:whistle:

[RolyGTIR]

I'm sure Shimmy has space to store it.... ? You'd need to leave the keys though :whistle:

Don't sell it!

[Steve B]

A weeks gone by and not 1 call or email..... Reminds me why I either px cars or break them up for spares...!!!

[billyboysm3]

I recon put car back to standard with CSL exhaust and OEM coloured alloys.

Plus a week isn't a long time, id allow a month and do not drop the price by £500 per week like most people do.

If your desperate to sell then your knackered, if you play the waiting game someone will by the car.

Anyone reading this thread that wants to buy the car will now offer £1500 less.

Ive only sold 3 BMW M3's privately and thats my view.

I bet the day I do that I get somewhere to store her and haven't got to sell lol...


Steve

[billyboysm3]

Thats what I like!!! Keep it!!!

[Graham]

Are the wheels CH-R's?

[Steve B]

Are the wheels CH-R's?

They are made by Inovit...


Steve

[shane@mbtech]

Do the standard wheels come with it?

[Steve B]

Do the standard wheels come with it?

Std Front kidney grills
Std Side vents

Wooooops.

[Steve B]

Wooooops.


Care to share the whoops..?? I'm presuming the non fbmwsh..??

Yep, lovely car and I'm sure you'll get a buyer very soon, as it looks mint.

[Steve B]

There's only 1 garage that my cars will ever be touched....

With the CSL there's 2 other people that I'd trust 1 being an ex Elms Bedford mechanic that now has left to become a Policeman and another friend who owned a CSL for years and now has his own garage (sold the CSL last year to fund this).


Like it says in post 1 the only reason I've put her up for sale is due to loosing it's storage/parking and I'm not prepared to leave her outside, if I find something suitable before the end of July I'll be keeping her as it's by far the best car I've ever owned and for a std car it's hard to beat with a modified car I've ever owned... Plus I REALLY want to take her to the Nurburgring next month when I go to watch WSB :supz:
