After much hassle I finally mananged to get to Harding to bring M535i home. That's what I tought was the biggest hassle.
After hitching the car to an dummy trailer/A-frame contraption we avoided the few beer drinking cops and made our way to the NN2 which is my path back home.
We just took off at T-junction an the trailer breaks apart leaving the car going up a bank and rolling back , standing half way on the road. An hour and half later the car is straightened up and towed using an old rope.(Thankfully the brakes worked)
With all the jacking up and the angles I looked at the car I noticed the front suspension is all new and the gearbox is shiny like silver. I'm thinking all is well we drove for about 15km.... And then !
The rear wheels seize, the discs are missing too, now what?
Its probably the diff (crown and pinion?)
Now I leave the car on the road and go back to fetch another A-frame.
The rear off the car is placed on the broken trailer,which happens to be just an axle now. The front is mounted and off we go. All this took about 2hours
So much for a day and the love of automobiles.
The vehicle purchases last year november and kept it secret from family and friends till yesterday. My wife grilled me and I'm still sizzling.
