yes still looking mate, no luck as yet. I've seen a few frozen greys and frozen silvers, but am waiting out for a Frozen black. Can I convince you to sell with a healthy offer?

Hi mate, I did want to keep it a little longer, I have not even run the Rod bearings in yet!! Is it specifically a Frozen Black edition you want, or are you happy with a normal non edition car in Frozen Black?
Ahh I see, time to put it to use!
Out of interest, how long does it take to run the rod bearings in?
I would prefer a Frozen black edition, but due to the scarcity of these cars as it is, if a decent, well specced and looked after non-edition came for sale, I would most definitely be interested.

Well that depends where you get them done, some say you don't have to run them in. I got mine done at ETA motorsport and being one of the best I trust there judgement. Running in is 500 miles and then increasing and an oil change at 1000 miles. I still have 300 miles to go to the oil change!
Its a shame as my rod bearings where like new and the best ETA have ever seen, but its piece of mind.
Spec wise, that's the nice thing about the frozen Black Edition, it had everything thrown in and some unique touches as well!
Have a look at my thread:

Well here it is, I thought well if you are going to have one of the worst to look after paint finishes, might as well have the toughest of them all. Its held up well really, 10 years old and no bird poo marks, just stone chips and some very light scratches that can barely be seen. Washing it...

An old one from the collection.
I like these and that’s a lovely combo. Hell of a lot of car for the money.
I've heard the same about the bearings - 500 miles to run in at low revs, and then an oil change at 1000.Well that depends where you get them done, some say you don't have to run them in.

Fortunately, I have only bought E9x's that have already had the bearings done - in my opinion as a prospective buyer, it adds a great deal of value to the car, and shows that it has been looked after and cared for, more likely by an enthusiast.
Yes, I've noticed that with the 'edition' cars, as well as the more expensive 'individual' colours are fully loaded spec wise from factory.
I had a look at the thread. It is a lovely machine!
Thanks, yes indeed, its also nice to know the old bearings where perfect as well, shows its been loved and looked engine wise as well.
Given your posts, I have been using it again as I want to get the oil change over the line! Its surprising how much attention it gets !
