E61 is the Touring bodied 5.0 V10 M5 - the saloon was the E60. The funds definitely won't stretch to the latest M5, and they aren't doing a Touring in any case. I had an E34 M5 LE years ago, and it'll be nice to run another for a while. Warranty essential though - repairs can be ruinous!

Thank you to all for the messages. The new job won't require a commute, so my annual mileage will fall considerably. I'm taking the opportunity to consolidate the fleet to a single fun car that can also transport my family and carry all the gear to support my sports and hobbies, with no concerns...

Yes it does - full LE spec car. PM inbound.

It looks like the car that started this thread will again be for sale. Work is taking me away for a couple of years, and I won't be doing much driving with the family. If anyone is in the market for a lovely Nero Carbonio with Nero leather GranSport LE, please make contact via PM. I've yet to...

It looks like this car will now be for sale. Work is taking me away for a couple of years, and I won't be doing much driving with the family. If anyone is in the market for a lovely Nero Carbonio with Nero leather GranSport LE, please make contact via PM. I've yet to advertise the car, but it...

I used to drive a Noble M12 GTO 3R. That car does have the inlet cam retarded one tooth from the OEM setting, quite deliberately and apparently in order to reduce valve bounce at high revs. One of the mods required as you approach 450bhp is to replace the valve springs with higher spec Piper...

My first good morning post, and what a great day for it. My eldest (5) announced at 00:26 this morning that Father Christmas had been, and was all for starting the festivities then. He was sent back to bed, and has yet to reawaken. I think I'm ready! Merry Christmas to all. Dom.

Thanks Simon, your efforts are much appreciated. Dom.

Leave any metal you care to name in a non-inert environment and it will oxidise to a greater or lesser extent. Every time the spark fires there will be some erosion (evidenced by the requirement to re-gap plugs). Pulling plugs is also a very good way to check the mixture. I don't like the...

We also rate fuel octane differently!

I'll be there with the family in my GranSport LE.

Put some decent bulbs in - Halfords do good prices on a trade card, and they make a surprising amount of difference.

Handbook has 4509mm long, 1822mm wide, 1295mm high.

Dates don't work unfortunately - I'll be in Neustift. Looks like it'll be a great do though. Dom.

Thanks both very much - I'll have a look at the details for the Christmas event. Dom.

Thanks all for the very warm welcome. Initial impressions are very favourable - I'll miss some of the turbo rush of the Noble, but the GranSport is a very complete car. I took both children to a Remembrance Parade at the weekend, with the baby's buggy in the boot. They travelled back in my...

May I introduce myself as the new owner of a Nero Carbonio GranSport LE (sold by Sovereign in Whitchurch, details linked from Classifieds forum). A second young child meant my Noble M12 GTO 3R was getting very little use. The rear seats in Astons and XKRs don't appear fit for purpose, and...

May I introduce myself as the new owner of this car. Those that were discussing the price will be relieved to know the original screen price had been reduced. Sovereign also provided me with a fair p/x value on my Noble M12 GTO 3R, which made the deal very easy. The GS was beautifully...
