Got it going, engines still ****ed, cut the life out of it for a bit never lifted above half, just pressuring and drinking drinking water,

Powersteering also duff so assumed it was pulley related failure but all seams well on that front,

Also no oil pressure light but again hardly an issue at this point in time

Seams to be a very very fit going car, mostly down to i assume a 4cyl diff but thats the first think i do to any 6cyl anyway the difference between getting walked by a kpro type r and sitting beside one

Still trying to find a doner of some sort 7series z3 e39 etc etc

Tried him adrian, offered cash but he said someone else messaged him about it first, never heard the like of that in my life lol

Anyway, no joy with engine, rather buy a full car to daily it see if its worth its salt before hand

Dailyed the touring for a few days, good car until it started raining and wipers dinny werk

Bought this absolute peach earlier, from newry direction, genuine 328i coupe with 3 weeks mot still remaining, 3 previous keepers

If it takes the death round nutts corner, its good enough for me,

Had new clutch flywheel and slave cylinder fitted then ended up with a heavy front end hit
