Okay, I'm going to look at a 530i . . .

. . . in about an hour.

Any suggestions?

I have been an (if you'll excuse the expression) Audi guy for more than a decade, but I do know a little about cars.

I sold BMWs in the early '90's and I did 7 years in F1 with ESPN . . .

What year are you looking at? Are you talking the "Big 6" or a small V8?

1994 . . .

. . . teeny, weeny V8.

I would only be concerned with the Nikasil issue, but it is so old now that affected engines may have either already been repaired and or are deceased, but being me I would investigate this.

Well, the car drives nicely . . .

. . . but I just can't get past the colour.

It's green with grey, and runs beautifully, but I cannot abide green.

The SRS light is on, and the electric head-rests (!) are in-op, but even if it were perfect I don't think I could go out every morning and look at green.

Did you get a photo of her? If so post this green thing and let us decide!
