Waste not, want not

A working ZX81 is probably quite a rare toy now, I have fond memeories of assembling my ZX80 (showing my age now eh!!)

Got to admit a 56 plate with 22k is a find. Don't mind admitting buying from a main dealer at the end of the month (I paid for the car today so they can include it in this month's sales figures!!) definitly contribuited to getting me a deal!! 2nd year BMW approved used car warranty for free with MOT insurance cover too, two years tyre insurance also gratis, and a job list from me as long as your arm (because I'm a fussy f :noexpression: :noexpression: k) and some discount off the overall selling price because I had no part exchange!!

Just for the record there is no shortage of toys too: -
481  Kalahari Beige
672  CD changer
V9HC  Light Beige-Exclusive Nappa Leather
2KD  V-Spoke Style 168 9.

255  Sport Steering Wheel
261  Airbags. rear side

Only downside, absolutely bog standard stereo, no DSP and no subwoofer  . But think the spare wheel can get junked, and will fit something in the hole it leaves behind!! Or dig a little deeper into this company who make an aftermarket sub that fits in place of an original BMW sub!! Ho hum ideas, ideas! Might play about with the parking heating to see if that wants to play at warmy warmy X5ey X5ey too now winters here (have read plenty on here about that!!).

2 sleeps & a breakfast!!!!

Welcome from Lincolnshire. Looking forward to seeing the photos. Wish I had the mirror compass in mine as I have no natural sense of direction. The one in my TD5 was a Godsend.

Welcome Riddo,

I've had few E53s and loved the car, you should too, especially with little more than delivery miles on her. Looking forward to the pics.

Thanks Lincs X5 and Don for your replies.

One sleep & a breakfast!!

Enjoy the pick up tomorrow - hope all goes smoothly!

That is a really nice spec. Comfort seats are superb and steering wheel heating is a nice addition and just in time.

I wouldn't worry about DSP and go aftermarket as I have/am.
