E39 - Beamer - Introduction

Introduction

The Diary of a Second Hand 18 Year Old Beamer is exactly what the title suggests, this is a diary of the tribulations, frustrations, soul destoying, an emblem of pride, events concerning a love hate relationship with an old car, sounds familiar doesn't it...

Like anyone that has owned a car, especially one of a second-hand purchase, from a dealership to the driveway, a car that presents ones personality to the world. Obviously you want it to work well, be reliable, hard working and maintenance free and look as good and if not better, than the wife or girlfriend!

Wishful thinking! But we all live in hope, sometimes we get a good one and other times we don't! This is a story of one car that was given a second lease of life, especially when we consider the age of a vehicle and where they normally end up at that age.
