How's life in E31 land?

Hello Steve, good to hear from you! Still trying to keep mending the things that break on a regular basis - same as usual really!

Hi Steve,

Glad to see you're good and still popping in to get your fix! That's a lovely M3..

All is good, the sun's shining and the 8 is sitting pretty on the drive, out beemering the 330d across the road, ha!

Sang!
Very good to hear from you mate.
I hope things are looking up for Shrewsbury finally, but not holding breath obviously.
When are you going to sell that POS and come back to the 8er?

Hi Steve,
Good to hear you are still with us! We've now moved to Mid-Wales and unfortunately I have "crunched" the front bumper on the left side (lower half), hitting an embankment on these single-track back roads. Coupled with that, the car has over-heated twice so will be fitting a new viscous coupling over the weekend - as you will remember, there is always something to be doing on the E31!

Viscous coupling changed (a bit of a fiddle to get the old one off). Oil change service done - back on the road again!

Steve, I'd love your M3 even if my car wasn't currently experiencing life in the slow lane - the very slow lane - the garage.
Great to hear from you.

As a 6 year e46 M3 owner, the SMG is the least of your worries. fuel pump, alternator, subframe cracking..... those are things to be more concerned about.
very fun car to drive, I planned to keep it 2-3 years when I bought it, ended up with 6.
replaced it with a -12 M550d touring, was looking for some more comfort and a more practical daily driver.

The e31 has been driven a whopping 2 tanks of fuel this year, might be able to get one more out of it before winter storage but I doubt it.
Few things to tinker with over the winter, but I hope to get some more use out of it next year, wasn't anything wrong with it this year, but it just didn't get used.

Steve - Busy in Shrewsbury tonight?
In case you see this post next week and wonder what I'm talking about...

can't blame you on that. I love my E38-750iL for it's comfort and all the nice little extras she has. And if needed still as fast as an 850.

In my view the civic leaders should be seriously considering a name change, much nicer.

My cars back on the road thanks Steve.
Not giving her a winter break this year. Worried she's going to have to go…and want to make the most of every day/ week.
The idea of selling up giving me real mental stress which i manage by burying head in sand.
Hopefully it won't happen.

Excellent to see you.
Saw a lovely dark 8er today in Islington.
He pulled up alongside and we yelled compliments at each other for a few seconds
