Furgall, I believe you have bought it already! Looks sweet, though.

Price looks cheap to me - especially with the low mileage and new hood.

I don't know the car at all, but you may have a real bargain on your hands there

Birmingham is considered by some Zoners as a place where naf tat is liberally applied to otherwise decent E30s in the misguided attempt to 'improve ' them.

This is their opinion, however, and not everyones.

small dents on every panel, door cards hanging off, and about 2" of the n/s rear arch lip missing due to rust.

General rust on that and the o/s rear arches also paint faded and different colours on most panels, also someone had mopped the bonnet and burnt it slighty.

so not really as described but i think i had too high expectations of a £1000 car?

should have been better than that even for 1k (its winter, no one has money, and its a 320i) i had high expectations of my IS for £500 and fortunatly it was of a high standard but the fact it wasnt as described properly is down to its location, most e30s get abused there
