yeh, the bumper needs painting. there is an engine available on the forum for £150. i can get it fitted for £350. so job done for £500 + the mot.. so call it £600..and it would be back in the room. i would spend a few quid on the paint to tidy it up...rear bumper, a good machine buffing etc.

Re: 318iS Baur..lots of pics..Need help with valuation!

thanks guys,,

i said it hasn't been cooked!..it drives fine!..

if i were to replace the engine, is it worth £1800+ ?

if were to sell as it is?? £1000? less?

novelty value must be worth something...
