Sometimes i regret buying my 318 cab for £1500 that needs everything doing, especially when I see something like this!

Someone say something to cheer me up!

No mention of mileage, so it has probably been to the moon and back and then some :D (ditto owner count).

Not sure why the plate is worth £700 :?

Seats look in too good a condition for it to have done too many miles, and that colour is by far the best that BMW painted any E30. Not a trace of chrome to detract from it either!

Hmm, I tend to squint when I come across one of his pics, so you're right.

Except that the crucial driver's bolster shot is missing.

There's a portion of it missing from the pic., but the two bits you can see look perfect.

Looks to me as though the bit right at the bottom of the pic is just showing the edge of a big frayed patch.

You must have a better monitor/eyesight than me! I doubt if anyone is going to buy it without seeing it first though.
The side bolster on my own example of this magnificent (if sorely underpowered) chariot shows the slightest signs of being a bit 'thin', but further wear has been alleviated by swapping the seat fabrics with the passenger side, so it now sits on the inside.
