Yes some fabulous looking cars there. I remember seeing the XJS Version at a roundabout near Birmingham some years back. Often fancied a P6 Rover Shooting brake but appreciate it wouldn’t quite match some of the top 20 here. At least we can enjoy the Z3M which is correctly included.
My E91 touring, manual LCI 335i so pretty rare (less than 20 apparently)......had it 6.5 yrs and while not cheap to run has not been bad overall......in 40k miles apart from consumables it only needed a waterpump, fuel line, sunroof seal, door handle (comfort acess stopped working) another comfort access sensor in the rear bumper and some headline washer nozzles.....seem to pack up alot for some reason.
Spent £3K however last year on it though on getting the turbos rebuilt (85K miles, over 50K tuned), new suspension as Bilsteins were knackered at 60K miles (Birds B3 kit), walnut clear, couple of rear arms and bushes, alignment, fresh fluid (gearbox, diff and brake), new coils and plugs and couple of rear tyres........hopefully should be good for a while although the N54 can throw up big bills.
It is tuned to approx 400/ 400, has the Birds B3 suspension kit (inc M3 front and rear suspension arms and bushes and uprated anti-roll bars), a quaife diff runs sports downpipes and BMW performance exhaust so sounds great (for a turbo).
Will prob replace it for a C63 S estate at some point but not convinced it will be significantly better, will be doing it due to age.
