Hi there.
I am thinking about a RRS Supercharged or a TDI V8 (2005-2007)
What would you go with.
I will be planning on doing some serious driving and we get a lot of snow here in Iceland.
I am somehow more fond of the S/C since it is cheaper, but dont know really much about those cars. 91 BMW 850CSI

Have a look at Mike C's example here http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic28367.html?highlight=

Stunning motor should be right up your street - just need to ship it over.....

To hell with the RRS advice, get some pics of your 850 CSI up on here man!  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Thanks Gerico!

Fatandre - as Gerico says, I have a G4 Challenge 4.4 V8 for sale! Has 300bhp so plenty of power, and being a G4 is perfectly equipped for your winters with a winch, snorkel and underbody protection on the outside and climate control and heated seats on the inside. Perfect! - Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE G4 Challenge vehicle (FOR SALE)
- BMW 330Ci M-Sport coupe
- Suzuki GSX-R750 K6 'Stealth' - trackdays and high speed tourer

I like the one for sale, but have mixed feelings.

Here is my e31

I had one of these in Red , wish I'd kept it

For what it's worth I bought a supercharged a few weeks ago, decided the additional money for a tdv8 would be better spent on fuel over the next two/three years

I think it's called man maths

I have a soft spot for the second one, here's mine (missing aluminium strip on side step )



And an 850Csi for those who like older cars (didn't even have a digital camera then !)

Do you remember the vin of the CSI? I might have bought it
How was the interior on it? 91 BMW 850CSI

I am afraid not no, might have it in files somewhere but unlikely.

We bought it around 1998/1999 from a BMW dealer in Slough (can't remember their name).
Then sold it in 2001 or thereabouts to a guy who bought and sold them exclusively, think it had 120,000 or 140,000 miles at that time, and was originally built in 1994 I believe.

It would have service records in that period from both maidenhead and ascot BMW dealers, interestingly what was the BMW dealer in Ascot is now a Land Rover Jaguar one Feels odd to pop into service there all these years later, same place, different cars !

Leather was a bit tired, but not ripped or seriously damaged from what I remember.

Small world if you've ended up owning it, do you still have it ? Is it in Iceland ?

I bought a red CSI from the uk that is a 1993/4 car and because of a lot of rust damage I put all the stuff into my other e31. The blue one.

Here is pic when I picked it up in the UK.
