...have resold their cars to previous owners?

I had an email from the guy who bought the car I now own in 1996 and owned it until 2004. He wants to buy the car back so I was curious as to how many Zoners have sold their cars to previous owners, or, have bought back a car they previously owned.

Cool, it seems like the window is being narrowed. My car is a 04/90 build date and has a Tech 2 wheel.

its only a steering wheel, and 20 years of owners...things can get damaged and swapped etc too Oh I know. I'm not looking to buy a Sport nor does the one I own have a mix of Tech 1 and Tech 2 parts. I was just curious. (Although I do believe it wouldn't be "only a steering wheel" if you were lookin...

Fair enough. I just thought it was curious that they'd go to the trouble of putting Tech 2 kits on without putting the Tech 2 wheel in as well, seems unfinished or rushed to me but as my old boss used to say: "BMW always do things for a reason"

Who am I to judge...?

BMW build specs will state exactly what parts were used when it was built (such as steering wheel/bodykit) and I realise it is the build date which is relevant but just wasn't sure whether there was actually a mixing of specifications...which it appears there was.

That's the kind of thing I'm talking about

I see, was just curious as I know a lot of fake Sports exist and wondered if mixed specs was symptomatic of this.

I'm confused by all the "Sports" for sale at the moment. My question is this:

If a car left the factory sporting a Tech 2 kit is there any way at all it would have left with a Tech 1 steering wheel?

The reason I ask is that so many cars for sale at the moment appear to have mix 'n' match specs...

Damnit! Just phoned and left a deposit! Forgot to ask about those

Only thing that worries me is it being in northern Ireland for most of it life whats wrong with that? Cars coming from and going to NI have unfortunately gained themselves a reputation through a small number of owners/traders using re-registration as a way of losing or fabricating the history of a ...

Haven't owned an E30 in a while but looking at getting a Sport. Was going to start another thread but this seems like an appropriate place to post. What about this: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/3031350.htm I've emailed the dealer selling this one and asked him if he's open to offers, which he...

you cannot MoT without insurance! Really? Is that just for imports?

at the moment you don't need a speedo to pass an mot, but i didnt know if there was a requirement from the dvla to make sure an import was 'uk spec' should it be chosen at random as a car they wanted to inspect. i'm not sure there's even any provision under current mot test procedure to check the s...

£275 and be happy they sell for that. +1 If they have brand new (good) tyres and no marks whatsoever (which if brand new they shouldn't have). I'm not sure what driving alloy wheels in the wet matters to be honest...I've never known an alloy wheel rust :? They aren't brand new either if they've bee...

I drew £200 for a set of 5 non-kerbed BKs with 4-5mm of Toyo Proxes all 'round. Cheap as chips and should have asked more to be honest, they were a bargain for the buyer!

(That was less than a month ago)

I reckon in 5 years time the tec1's will be worth more than the 2's on account of low numbers left I doubt it. Nice Tech 1's are already virtually non existent so why are they not worth more now? +1 IMO the demand for Tech2 stuff is due to the wow factor that happened when the Tech2 sport was first...

I think that's what the advert means but actually it's not what it says

I suspected as such however I think there a some one here that would feel compelled to rise to the challenge

Z3 rack if you can find one!

Main dealers don't replace M V10 engines under warranty for no reason, that would be my first comment...I suspect it's not in fabulous working condition! Secondly, when BMW replace an engine under warranty they require the original engine back so that they can diagnose the issues, test the engine fo...

That looks suspiciously like the workshop at Sandal Huddersfield!

As far as the two cars which have just had resprays are concerned you should check the fitting of the trim panel (roof lining part) beneath the sunroof. If this hasn't been aligned properly in the runners when the sunroof has been refitted to the car then there will be opening/closing issues. OP - o...

Did the courier put them on his van to make the delivery?!

Haha! They aren't actually kerbed they're just scuffed from being in-transit...
