Can't afford to put 325 lump in wat about 318? plus has anyone on here had experience in doing this and how much would they charge to fit it?

well he wants £700 and thats doing the MOT. How much would engine swap cost?

Ok story goes I went to look at this last night- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=290228881845&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=019 Had quick look and body work is spotless almost so started well removed oil filler cap to find tiny bit of what looked as though maybe mayonaise. Tho...

Garage said and I quote "The car is to old to justify wasting an hour of there mechanics time bothering to MOT it as the car is just to old to warrant it"

I know just wrote the wrong thing!

Wish I hadn't said anything now lol its going up.
Think I may give it a punt if it doesn't go up to much!

Oh and don't bother phoning the garage as they are ignorant I tried earlier!

I'd be very interested but sounds to good to be in my price bracket. Let us know as soon as you get it up please.

Just found this. Im not brave enough to take on a car that hasn't got an mot!

I am curretnly trying to find myself an E30 and am very gutted I missed out on the young lads (who had insurance trouble).

Anyway were is best to search for a car other than here, ebay, autotrader?!

Thank you I'm so glad I joined here before I brought one as might have ended up with that bucket!

Again thank you!

Cheers Glad I didn't both now!

Im based in Reading Berkshire.
The deadline is cos my crouch rocket is soon to run out of MOT and she certainly has no chance of passing without a hefty bill.

well the insurance is huge issue thats why was trying to stick to 318 / 320 but seriously struggling to find one and my deadline to get a car is fastly approaching! If I was to get 325 I could only spend £800 on it as would need extra for the insurance lol I beg of everyone if you know of or see a...

I saw this and am very interested just worried due to lack of history and its over my budget so would be stretching(which means if it went wrong id be screw*d) http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/BMW+3+SERIES/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146,N-13-55-62-4294967201-4294967202/...

Hi just spotted this - its got intergalactic mileage but looks clean. If anyone knows of a car like it for sale PLEASE let me know! If not is there a mileage I should be weary of?! Oh and biggest engine I can currently afford to insure is a 320 and thats pushing it! http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es...

Cheers for all advice going take in on board when I find the next one to look at! Only question is as I haven't got much of a clue about BMW's yet is m40 the bloke used for a 316&318 and the m20 used for 320?!

I unfortunately don't yet own an E30 as am struggling to find one. I want a touring and am stuck as to wether to get a 318i lux or if I can survive with the slower 316i lux! If possible could someone list what I need to make sure I check when viewing an E30 please as the last one I saw was great dri...
