but im afraid its not an impreza

ive spent quite a few weeks looking for (and actually buying then reselling straight away as it was cak!) a good impreza. anyway ive come to the conclusion the kind of car im after in my price range isnt out there sadly. anyway i came across something that i didnt actually think i would like. its a bmw 1999 535i v8. its in metallic black, 245 bhp FSH etc absolutly every gadget you can think of, and it was well below asking price (about £2k below). its from a dealer, although i knew the previous owner so got in touch and asked him a few questions. anyway i pick the car up on friday.

so whilst im glad to be getting in my opinion a very nice motor it is a shame its not the impreza i set out for . however my plan is to have this for 2 years and then i will be purchasing a new(ish) sti bugeye....so its not bye for good

out of interest any 535 owners or ex-owners on here?

Did you check it has had the upgrade of indicator stalks?

I've just found that most BMW's lack them, so presumed it was an optional extra.

Hi mate

Glad you got sorted, seriously thinking about keeping mine now.
Thought you'd got all cold feet on me
I just was not prepared to budge anymore on price. I've dropped it 3 times and i had to say enough tbh
i went out last night and i thought why the hell am i selling my car? it really is fantastic.

I just coudl not get a car that goes, and handles like it.

Still i really could do with selling it and getting a TDi, The gf is not best pleased as she bloody hates my Scoob.


Doh

yep it has indicator stalks , infact its got so much stuff on it i dont know where to start

GeeJayDoubleYou

almost had yours mate
TBH ive saved a bit of money on this bmw, so it was a bit easier on the old bank balance.
it is a real nice car but nowt like the imprezas, more exec/luxury rather than outright sports car, although they still go for a big car with 250bhp.
like i said though i will return to impreza ownership but i think it will be a couple of years yet when i can afford a classic sti

Classic or Bugeye? Make your mind up, they're not the same

well spotted mate i made a typing error

TBH i would like an sti bugeye but its more than likly i will get an sti classic or a nice bug wrx......although with the way im liking the 5 series i could be tempted by an M5
