Re: How Much is My 316 Worth

Yeah, fair play but Ive taken photos of every single last blemish on the whole car to avoid none payers, I bet if i brought my camera to yours I could do the same thing! Its only the back bumper that lets it down aesthetically and even then its only that bit of it. It seems pretty much on a par and ...

Re: How Much is My 316 Worth

New cambelt, waterpump, fanbelt, gaskets etc.. and only 112 thousand miles, originally had it up for £800 ende...

My car sold on ebay, bloke came from Glasgow (4 hours away) to get it. Half an hour before he arrived the 'inspection' light came on and the rev counter started to go nuts as did the temp gauge. What the hells just happened apart from a very very unlucky bit of timing? He didnt want it becuase of th...

Re: 320i vs 318iS

I have recently bought a 320i and the engine is beautiful, VERY smooth sounds well nice 3000rpm+ its a screamer and guzzles motorways with ease. Handles very well, predictable progressive oversteer and the nose doesnt dive when braking. One thing i will say though is it uses a lot of fuel around tow...

The lines don't look damaged at all yet only one line (right a cross the middle) demists. It works very fast but its hard to see out of a one inch strip! Any ideas? Cheers

Done a search but cant find anything. All the guages work great but the MPG one does nothing, it is permanently stuck to the left of the guage and doesnt budge at all even when the engines off. What can i look at to try and fix it? Cheers :D
