- Thanks. i have had my E34 for 10 years. Couldn't bring myself to sell it. Still low mileage for its age as I use my E39 most of the time. How do you find your new car?

I'm no expert on 8's but have enjoyed my first 11 months ownership without any major dramas. I doubt there were any 'friday' 8's built. Anything you want advice on give me a shout or pm and if I don't know then I know a few other 8 owners who will, cheers, Alex
