Well I've done it. Sold the car. :( Needed it off the drive as I'm moving house and a nice chap that lives around the corner and kept asking after the car has bought it to restore it. A very hard car to value, but I'm happy enough with what I got for it. I wouldn't be surprised if you have a new mem...

Hmmm
Yeah that's pretty much what I was thinking - not much.

My mate has a bodyshop so I can get that sorted easily and cheaply enough. I agree it will want the brakes refreshing as well as a service though.

Probably worth more if I strip bits off and crush it. Seems a shame though doesn't it.

Hello I've been on here for ages since I got the car, but haven't used the forum much in the past few years as I haven't been using the car. I'm looking on eBay etc, but its really hard to value my car. I don't really want to sell it, but I don't use it and we are moving house and won't have room fo...

Ouch.

I do understand why its so much though as there cant be much demand for it.

I think I'll have to just try and find a non rusty/dented second hand one then.

Hi

How much for a front panel (valance) for a 1989 iS please?

Thanks

There is no such thing as traffic cops anymore Not really a true statement is it, plenty of traffic cops still in action. Yeah I guess that was a bit harsh. Did anyone see that program last night where they were using the license plate recognition gear in the motorway patrol cars (dont normally wat...

i posted this in the chat section but it could be a help to zoners it is the link to the insurers database used by the police as well if you are not on it you stand a big chance in getting stopped by the police. http://www.askmid.com/ Stopped by who? There is no such thing as traffic cops anymore -...

The green one you linked to looks nice, but you could pick the same car up in a private sale for half that much easily. I'm confident a grand will get you a half decent 325i touring. With your budget its not the end of the world if you have to shell out a few hundred quid on some minor repairs or pa...

Its amazing how shabby it looks on the old rims in comparison. Could be a right sleeper if you could afford to fuel it. I'd be tempted to leave it looking shabby and sell the wheels to pay for towards the fuel.

Whatever someone is willing to pay.

Put them on Ebay

You need to prove you own the car to get the plates made up. Unless you buy off Ebay. I did that last time as I hadn't had the paperwork back so Ebay was the only option.

Welcome

I hope you figured in the costs of getting the car back mate.

Shame on you

My iS is currently on 47k. Trying to get the full BMW history for it as its been in the family since new (I have a horrible feeling its been misplaced! :cry: ) if it was serviced at radfords (now knights) they will have a record of it so you can buy a new one ask for baz he will help you out Thanks...

You may well need the hub and strut and arm as well.

As I need the OSF and you need the NSF I'll happily team up and buy together as most folk want to sell them in pairs.

My bro lives in Halifax as well so should be able to sort it out.

please dont put the schnitzers onto a mini.. as far as i am concerned the mini has died and its not a bmw... never will be.. its an embarrassment that schnitzer are making parts for the little shit heaps. Never mind that I'd rather BMW had left the mini well alone and not built the nasty bit of tat...

My Mi16 would rev higher than 7100 (well at least indicated higher anyway). It was using the standard manifold that had a bit chopped out to reangle it. I think it went to about 7300rpm. The 1.6 box is awsome and it felt so much quicker than the Mi16 box with its longer gearing. Once I put the Mi16 ...

Jon I assume your Mi16 is a 1.9? Mine was from an F plate so obviously non cat. They are supposed to be 160bhp, but if you have a modified exhaust manifold that could drop the power down to 155. My engine was a low miler and I had it fully rebuilt before it went in the car so it was very healthy. Th...

As has been said the RR figures are no good if you dont have a before and after. It sounds to me like the figures some people are quoting from the same RR are about 10% higher. Jon what gearbox have you got on your Mi16? I started out using the original 1.6 box and it was right laugh. It would pull ...

I had that car down as being worth £15k myself.

Unless it owes him more than £15k I dont see why you wouldn't accept it. Credit crunch and all that....

Mind you its potentially a good car to have up for sale and probably helps justify the price of some of the other cars they have.

Oh dear. What happened to the dashboard?

That is so nasty. I doubt they will get any more than £3k for it and that's assuming they find someone who like's it. I reckon thats why they used a small engine as anyone old enough to insure a 328i would be way older than the teenagers this car is aimed at.

I really like the look of this one: http://www.wlnautomotive.co.uk/popup.cf ... p_i=461174

I'm not really a cabrio kind of guy, but I reckon that looks really smart and looks a lot more upmarket not having the boot spoiler.

ive got a shade under 150 bhp from my standard m42 with a panel filter and pampered engine! getting it dynoed again this coming week to get a 2nd opinion on the figures too. otherwise i personally would go down the m50 road but if you wanted to keep the m42 lump i would supercharge :twisted: What B...

thats exactly my thoughts but people tend to get all upset when you point that out. why spend £££'s tuning something up to have less power than a standard in the range replacement engine? I'm allowed to say it as I have an iS. :wink: If you did really want to stick with the original lump then I wou...

IMHO its not worth spending much money tuning an iS when you could buy a 325i. Not only does it have more BHP out of the box, but it makes a better noise.

Sorry to hear this.

I doubt you will see the parts come up for sale. As said above they will have been stolen to order.

Everyone needs to keep a look out for bright red 325i Sports then.

My mate lives in Derby - I'll tell him to keep an eye out.

Anyone tried the kit that doesn't lower as much? I think its the 40mm kit?

I would hope it would be similar, but not quite as bouncy (bouncy does not sound cool!).

PM'd you the number

A 385BHP 1 series does sound a bit nippy doesn't it.

With a new air filter and exhaust I would imagine 400 is possible.

The great thing about the modern BMW engine's is just how good on fuel they are as well.

Haven't got the paper with me at work mate. Its in the Stafford post - maybe they have a website?

Would an iS need an LSD?....

This is not a for sale thread. Nowt to do with me - I'm just thinking a zoner might be interested in this... 1990 316i Glacier Blue Mot May 09 Tax Nov 08 Genuine 99k Excellent condition Only 300 miles since last MOT £450ono Sounds like that could be a nice runaround for someone - especially if you n...

Can you adjust the gear selected maybe to help the gears go in better? I remember having the gearbox replaced on one of my old cars and the gearshift was shocking so I took the car back. 2mins later the adjuster had been turned and it was fine.

There is a very tidy 325i Cab in blue (cant decide if its a genuine sport or not!) round the corner from my house which I see pretty much every day. I see a nice 3dr in white on the A38 in Brum quite regular. Looks like an iS and it has black BBS rims. Its right though in that you dont see them on t...
