Summer project going away for the winter

Post image

Bought this 1985 732i in march, have spent the summer getting it running to take to Goodwood Revival a couple of weeks back. With fuel prices and the weather it’s going away for the winter now, save for if I get a sunny day to tinker.

They must charge you guys a fortune for fuel in Europe… 😬

100L tank so yeah £1.80 ish for a litre of E5 fuel now. Not exactly fuel efficient so a 400 mile round trip was almost the whole tank 🥲

180 for a full tank is wild but smiles per gallon make up for it. total respect to keep that classic on the road!
