Well after exactly a year with my R33 GT R tonight I watched it being loaded on to a transporter which is taking it to its new owner in Germany.

So today I put a deposit down on this 535d, collect it Tuesday or Wednesday. Its more than enough power and the six speed auto change is so slick I could hardly feel it. It looks and drives like brand new and has quite a few 'nice to have' goodies.

Your thoughts. (don't be brutal though )

 

i had one nice cars, got mine remapped, by simon at trades as e-maps enjoy the snow

 

Fabulous motors - it'll be fine in the snow - you turn the traction off and drive it like a real car

 

Wanted one for ages but not in our winters and not where I live up this hill! Enjoy it! I went the Audi S3 route in the end. My first German car. I bloody love it. But them performance diesels, wow, superb machines.

 

Needs the 19's

 

V nice I do like the big diesel BMW's

 

I heard they made it a bit of a hard ride especially with the run flats. It's one of the things I'm getting away from on the GT R, they were 265 35 18's and it was awful. I'm getting old you know.

 

lovely car

Get the 19's and dont run those god awful run flats, problem solved drove a 645 with run flats on the other day (it had 19's) what an awful experience!

 

Very nice! just so happens that I have a set of genuine E60 Alpina 19's that are being refurbed and a set of continental non run flats for them that migt be for sale

 

Yes and if my bollox are to remain intact they won't be on my car.

Wouldn't mind seeing some pics when they're done though.

 

Re map it and you've got a great GT car

Next holiday to the south of France then

 

Great choice of car.

The 19's in that pic only come with normal tyres from BMW, so all good!

I had them on mine and were better than the 18's with run-flats.

 

100% agree

 

Thats a lovely taxi

 

Actually, all the feckin running around after my girls I often feel like a taxi.

 

Here's a pic of ours with them on..

 

Each to their own; but I hate all alpina alloys. I don't know why they insist on sticking to the same design theme.

 

Hope yours has come with the optional extra of a sick bag for the passenger.

 

Agree.
Unless they're actually where they belong - like on a real Alpina.

Fantastic Zip, gorgeous colour too.

 

My Mrs hasn't been in it yet so we'll have to see

 

They were on the car when we bought it! Will update with new pic when car is washed tomorrow

 

 

Nice Cars!

What kind of MPG's are you getting around town?

 

21 round town. Went for a blast down the M1, about 90 miles round trip, to watch a track day at Donington on Saturday and it's bumped it up to 25 now. Average speed is 27. It is relatively new to me though so I am still giving it plenty.
