Nice one Nick, you've wanted a second 5 for a while. If the sills were all it failed for and there is nothing wrong then it should be simple enough to sort.
Look forward to seeing some piccies.

Got Me Another :)
Silver 1990 import.
Generally not a bad car. Needed the drain holes unblocking and the interior needs a real good clean (and de-stench) due to this and the near side has a bit of damage along it which shouldnt be beyond my capacity to fix, but all in it is a very sweet car.
Just failed its mot though on rusted sills!! Which has shocked me because i was underneath bashing it yesterday to check it was all ok. Shocked my mate too who runs a body shop in fareham when he got it in the air and cant find evidence of sill failure, though he has just found evidence of some seriously fresh chisel wounds... which is friendly.
Anywho my mate (Keith at Station Body Shop Fareham) is sorting this out as we speak for an exceptional price of £40. Meaning that the retest on Thursday should give me a very nice car that can be back on the road.
There are a couple of trick bits from it that i shall be putting up for sale.. Bits i personally do not feel the need to have.. so keep an eye on the for sale forum

Anywho.. pics and stuff to follow when i get the car back.
1 thing though.. does anyone have a spare wooden handbrake handle as this car has one missing
