New project

[Northern isf]

Not sure if anyone's into BMW's here but just got this at a very reasonable price,already got the full drivetrain package to swap it into M3 evolution spec with a 43000 mile engine! I'll be working on it most Sundays so can see it being a long project,I've got a thing for fast saloon cars and estates so this fits in with the ISF perfectly.

cool project!!

Yes, Garage envy here too.  And as someone with the need of an estate car I lament the lack of a more modern Lexus estate for when my old IS 300 Sportcross starts to become high maintenance. That said over the last 12 months its cost £0 maintenance and very minimal depreciation so fingers crossed.

I love estates always Chucking something to transport somewere or other, I've also got an E46 330d running 300bhp and a forester xt which I'm using at the mo untill it sells.

And a Lincoln Continental Limo for Saturday evenings out when an estate car just isn't enough.  Well why not

That's for my business but I do go out in it occasionally to test the pub crawls out before I offer them for sale got to be done 👍

Love it. Started track days with an E36 compact 2.5 swap, moved that on but always loved an E36 and estates so this is lovely. Have a 3.0H6 Legacy Wagon sat next to the ISF now

Very nice, you got any pics?

I’ve since blacked the grill which is much better (just not a decent pic of that yet)

Good choice of motors liking the legacy looks sweet in black, I was looking for a usb isf but couldn't find one at the time I was buying great colour on these cars.

@Northern isf Not good mate.  Is that from your Battery mishap?

Certainly is, Stupidest and costliest mistake I've ever made, managed to find an ecu but will need coding to my car lexus have quoted me £130 an hour to sort it!

[FTBBCVoodoo]

Not sure how far away u are but “Westfield” in Rayleigh are excellent, they are Lexus specialist and are fully equipped, when asked about my services by Lexus Woodford when I quoted “Westfield” they just nodded and said they’d leave me be.......probably about half the price, maybe worth a call and visit🤔

@Northern isf so what was the mistake you made. Anything we need to know to avoid doing the same.
