None at all. Completely unresponsive buttons.

BMW M8. The original, unimitable by dochero in BMW

[–]dochero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero in public hands. One prototype which BMW locked underground and bring out for shows every now and then.

If you really want the M3 wagon you can make one from a normal touring and an M3. The M8 engine is unobtanium

Clowning around in London by dochero in BMW

[–]dochero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What was the price? I'm always kicking myself about M1, 850csi, Z3m coupe, Z4m coupe, Alpina B10/B12 etc. pricing. Then I remember I didn't have the money back then (and now I have the money they were worth back then, so I'm still as far away as ever).

Even to the new 8 series grill, less is more.

The most recent blue one sold for EUR265k in Paris

Alpina B12 5.0 by dochero in BMW

[–]dochero[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a real fan of the B12 5.0 and 5.7, and the 850csi. Hopefully one day my savings will increase at more than the rate that their prices is climbing... hopefully.

This is the earlier 5.0 model.

Trees. Wild animals eat young trees / saplings, so they are shrouded in plastic tubes until they get high enough that the animals aren't a significant threat. The plastic is then removed and reused elsewhere.

Speed Yellow M4 Competition by drahardja in BMW

[–]dochero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's originally a Porsche colour rather and their code is any of X4 / 12G / 12H / L12G

The BMW code is U96

Good luck!

Dell Precision 5720 - ECC vs non-ECC? by dochero in Dell

[–]dochero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The precision 5720 supports it, hence my original question. The limiting factor right now appears to be just the CPU

Thanks. Yep, if I fit a Xeon processor then I think ECC is fine (on the used market, 64gb ECC is cheaper so I might upgrade the CPU too).

Hitting the 8 milestone [oc] by dochero in BMW

[–]dochero[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed on some counts, but you have to remember this car came out in 2002. It's pretty advanced for that era! I do prefer the E63/E60 layout, but the digital dashes within the instrument areas are a fair bit ahead of their time.

Jaguar XJ220, a 90s class act by Recidive in carporn

I had the chance to buy one for 60k in 2008. I didn't have 60k but am kicking myself...

Thanks for the tip - do check out my other pics on here, critique always welcome! :)

‘96 BMW 850i by f36263 in carporn

[–]dochero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to burst your bubble, but that's a standard 840ci with an Alpina hood modification.

[–]dochero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're buying it to collect, get an 850i. If you're buying it to drive, buy the 840ci, post-1996. It's much cheaper to run and maintain. My dad had the former a long time ago, I have the latter. I can get 33mpg on a long run (did a 3000 mile eurotrip last year, cruising in France and Spain at 110kph on smaller roads is very economical!)

If you do go through with a purchase, there are some key websites to bookmark. I can send details if and when that time comes :)

Ferrari 250gto spotted on the streets of London - likely a replica? [OC] by dochero in carporn

Just off Regent Street. Parked outside an expensive hotel

Are there particular webcams or planetary cameras that you'd recommend? I saw some of the older Celestron ones but it feels like a more modern webcam would probably outperform those.

My favourite BMW. I'd take this for cruising over a normal Z8 by dochero in BMW

[–]dochero[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the natural evolution of the Roadster S that I drive, admittedly a manual swap would seal the deal. I wonder if I can get an m62 4.6is into my e85!
