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.

Horses for courses.

Home of the sport replica winkeye

saying that im sure there is still some decent e30s in brum, like that one if it aint faded looks like you got a nice buy mate :thumb:

EDIT: just read the above post

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
