You're very welcome, good luck with your project. Nice that someone is willing to keep these older cars on the road.

I am in Denmark at the moment; cars are so expensive here that older cars have a much longer service life. Lots of E20's and 30's; great to see, I think!

Looked at (not to buy, alas) a 550i in the dealership here in DK; pricetag 1.4 million Danish Kroner = 200.000 Euro. Fully loaded Mini Cooper S is 95.000 Euro!

Welcome along to the forum Eddie.

Just a quick question....did you have any problems getting gaskets, hoses and the likes? I am currently working on getting my 318iS back to former glory and am having trouble getting some of the smaller parts like I mentioned!

Cheers and best of luck!

Paddy
