I beleive that a 635 is to feature on the new series of 'Wheeler Dealers'. The series started tonight at 9pm on Discovery Real Time, and featured a green 911. It is hosted by the worlds greatest presenter Mike Brewer. I read a while back that a 6 will feature, and I beleive he buys 2 of them and makes one good one, but that's all I remember. I dont know the exact date, but watch out for it: Tuesdays 9pm Discovery Real Time -------------

The dates I've seen are: 29/8 Porsche (911 at it turned out) 5/9 ??? 12/9 Alfa Spider 19/9 BMW 635 (Jamesies Six) 26/9 Corvette. If anyone's recorded these on dvd I wouldn't mind a copy, especially the Six. ------------- AndyS Live each day as if it's your last - one day it will be. http://www.photostick.co.uk/view-933_BaurSig1.jpg" rel="nofollow">

Very fishy, if you ask me.... No, not fishy. Car belongs to a BMWCC member; James Sohl. Feature on the making of the prog. in the July issue of the CC mag. The shoot was in March with temps around 4 degrees. According to the write up, James has owned the car for 8 years and 'spent a lot of time and money' on it. |

Tiny misunderstanding there, I think. Wasn't referring to James' car (which is a "C" plate), but the programme's red "B"-plater...... [QUOTE]Any chance of you sending me a copy?

I must admit i was rather suspicious of the red 635 as well, especially as he only paid £2000 for it. My ball and chain forgot to change the channel over so I ended up getting some c**p taped off ITV. I saw the second part and if I remember rightly it is also shown on saturday evening about 6-00pm on 250, so I'll watch it all again hopefully (if she remembers to record it as I'll be at santa pod on saturday Paul ------------- 95 E34 530i V8 Auto Maldives Blue |

Really enjoyed that episode, I was shotuing at the tv "Check the front wings for rust" but Brewer just said "Right, i'll give you £1900 for it" they wern't greedy enough, wonder what the mileage was on it? ------------- www.ni-bmw.co.uk E46 316i Saloon E36 323i Touring

Well, James did say in the programme that wings were getting on for £500 each, so that should have been enough of a warning

Now that you mention it, I wonder why they never did it, or at least mentioned it?

Possibly they didn't do enough research on the car as I think this is a major thing and should most definately pointed out as to save BIG repair bills Paul ------------- 95 E34 530i V8 Auto Maldives Blue |

you can download your Andy Worhol moment for prosterity on the link i provided but you'll need to register (it's free) and you'll need a bittorrent client to download the episode, i personally recommend bittornado, which is free too - http://www.bittornado.com - www.bittornado.com ------------- 2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Titanium X Auto 1983 Ford Sierra XR4i 2000 Alpina B10 3.3 #118 1999 BMW 323Ci 1995 BMW 318i SE 1994 Vauxhall Omega 2.0 GLS 1995 Ford Mondeo 1.8 LX 1990 Honda Concerto 1.6 EX 1986 Ford Orion 1.6 GL 1989 Ford Fiesta 1.1 Firefly |

I finally caught it last night as a re-run. Wow, James, that is one HAWT 635 you have there.  What's the consensus about the red B-reg? Worth a punt or not? ------------- Ciao, Spokey

Worth a punt, but still don't understand why they put it back on metrics..... Sure you'll be able to find some imperial wheels. Are you getting itchy for another one, "spokey"? -------------

Neither do I Ivan especially as he said he was after BBS X spokes, and I thought TRX's cost in the region of £200 a corner rather than £120 as he said. It seemed to me that for someone that was selling these years ago, really is rather clueless to some of the major issues of the car (metrics/rusty wings etc). I did like the leather interior though!

 I can't help myself.  But I'd prefer a manual, and no f***ing way would I drive a car on metrics again.  ------------- Ciao, Spokey

Quick - someone inform Mike Brewer! If he finds out he can buy the very car he sold 4 months ago for a grand less than he took, then he will make the best eppisode of the series out of this one. What a Wheeler Dealer!!! -------------
