Cleaning The Stable

[MRH1966]

Spent the day cleaning the cars! Black 2.8 auto, black 535i e39, new black M3 ( son has gone to the dark side!!) and topaz blue 2.8 manual (which is now for sale)

That's some fleet

When I parted with the e84 X1 BLACK I said never again, this f48 X1 is white, and it never seems to look in dire need of cleaning.
Unfortunatly sons CooperS is black,and shows every bit of whatever gets on it.

Thanks. Black is quite hard to clean though!

But the best next to red though

But the best next to red though

My only experience with Red was a Volvo 850R , when the car went at 2 years old the colour had faded very badly,fortunatly it was on lease,and no way could we be held responsable. It was a very nice car for covering a lot of miles ,but was heavy on tyres. I have seen a lot of Red cars of that period fade the same.

Red blooms and is a t**t to keep at its best, hence, black is best

The pigment in red and yellow was terrible for breaking down in the 90's. Don't seem to see it now days so maybe they have got on top of the problem..

Nice fleet of proper BMW there. A little jealous of that e46 M3 convertible...

V fast!!!
e39 is a great car too plenty of power from the V8 and getting 26 to the gallon around town and 30+ motorways!
