1991 H reg 316i M40, with 112,000 miles on the clock. This car was in such great condition! Made me kinda happy to see such a mint example. Top to bottom, i found no rust or corrosion body wise. The owner has owned it apprently since 93 and it has a full bmw service history. I carried out an inspection 2 with brake fluid but without a timing belt, diff fluid or gearbox oil. The car inside out was in perfect condition, the spare wheel hadn't even been used. I offered to buy it and the owner said its his little run around and he wouldnt sell... On the roadtest, it was super smooth, silky gear change and everything worked perfect.... A lovely motor!!!! Only covered 10k since 2006!

Notice the yellow cloths to prevent the seat buckle fouling

By the way, what are these holes?? Never really noticed them before. They have thread running through the 2 small holes

I saw the haynes manual and a few jokes were made but i dont know what was in the drivers door.

It also had a pull out stereo, that was epic!

This is mint, reminds me of when I bought myn at 108,000 on the clock same but bottlecap wheels and spare wheel wasn't used and full tool kit, after my accident went a little down hill but yeh brings back memories! Nice one Ajay! A good M40 is a strong block!
