I know Oxford green quite well.
I remember the guy who came to buy my old M3 Evo turned up in an M3 GT - which was halfway between an E36 M3 and my Evo.
Those all came in Oxford Green and it does make sense - they seem to have a lot of black in them.
Gav, that's a great colour...
As I get older, I am appreciating green more in cars...

The small things
Manage to source a secondhand Rear arch liner, Tbh i was i little concerned what sort of state the Inner arch would be in, Considering its a Early car!

Gave it a good clean, rubbed down a very small abit of surface rust on the very lip of lower arch were they all go and painted it whilst i was there and clean out any hanging muck.
She all very soild it would seem

brutus looks nice mate, very well spec`d, just missing the command!
the grill has been changed as that is not the distronic grill, should be sourced easily.
other than that, i love the colour, looks like a nice solid car!
catch up soon bud

Thanks for your help and the kind words Alps, Can you enlighten me on the grill? as i'd love to get the correct one? and yes shame it hasn't got the Large screen command, But there had to be a compromise somewhere lol
Also i think i read somewhere you bought the decal's for the front wings? id like to do the same, How do you know the correct position when fitting them?

its always confused me why the earlier ones came FULLY equipt but without full screen comand, can easily be retrofitted
the distronic grill will have a square window to protect the distronic sensor behind it.
you can just about make it out on this pic
looking back at the pics, the original black grill may have had it although looked a bit different.
worth looking into!
still looks like a good choice with the balanced apart of mods

Hi Alps
Is this not it? the black square thing? perhaps looks a little different because of the colour. looks Oe?
After cleaning around the sensor its all been good, it was dropping out now and again.

Looks great
Love those wheels - very aggressive and what a spec !!!!
How the hell did you manage that mpg ???
How much was the pump From Arnott Gav ? Are you still
Experiencing any leaks ?
Fingers crossed used it last night 40 miles, done another 90 miles today and no suspension error's, Car is sitting lovely
Mpg wise i do drive easy i went to Basildon and back today in cruise set it to 70mph "distronic" let the car do its thing, gave it 1 squirt not silly and managed 25.1mpg there, And 24.9mpg on the way back
The Arnott pump i got was £180 Plus vat, I got it through ECP in the end as i needed it that day.
You can get a Gen wabco "which is what the Arnott one was" from Germany for £209.
Whoops er... Wheels are BBS not sure what the name of them is, they are 19" and 9.5j alround.

I had a cracking 90 mile drive today, she returned 25mpg, The wife asked me if the Heated seat button on the dash was for the ejecter seat! lmfao
Did have a little blip, The lower centre consul "one with all the options" Rear blind, locks etc lost it's power, I did wiggle a couple of the related fuses number 29 and 40 in the side of the dash then started the car and all has been fine.
Will keep a eye on that one. I had been fiddling with the aux battery prior to this so next wkend i will have the out and have a look at some earths just incase.
