No problem sivsk just drop me a pm and I will try my best to have the tyres arranged for you. And yes the VTEC is goddamn fast for here but nowadays we have a number of nice roads here around Delhi which would be perfect for your M3 and the maintenance will be easy too. So in case you want to shift the car here for better driving or maintenance of the car I will store it in my garage free of charge

Default Finally Got my 7 back on the road

Yes i finally got my 735i, back on the road! It has been almost a year plus since she was put away, but now back in running order! Has'nt been easy, had to import new wheels, as the original TRX Michelins were really hard to get hold of, plus riduculously expensive, so i went for a set of BBS RX's 17's, i think they look ok!! That was'nt the end of the headache, though, as the aircon had issues, since it has not moved for ages, and were i live is well humid, air con parts took a pounding, firstly the expansion valve had a leak so guess was seeping out, then after that was sorted the AC Dryer bottle was blocked uo, with 15yrs of grime and rust, well usually simple change but nom the original BMW part inclusive of duty and shipping Rs. 20000, circa $450, say 250 pounds, so you can get merc parts cheap here, we could'nt source a cheap original, so we did a little modding and adated the lines to fit a bottle from a W210, works, result. Anyhow its back in working order, 3 pics of it, i know bad pics it is night time, and i just got it home wanted to upload some pics, will put better ones up later on....... Plus a good clean and wax

Just the M3 to fix now.... god help on that one..... least sundays will be busy for the next few months......

I just love this 7 series and must be quite a sight in the average traffic jam in India I bet!
