Could anybody tell me anything about this car,does anybody know it or seen it around.
I know its been on ebay a few times.
Whats the history on those motorsport alloys would they be reps have not seen many of them about.

Whats a car like that worth as its an auto and only a SE but i think its the 1 for me as its my fav colour plus it looks like it has not been messed with.

it does look nice and clean and unmolested, but i dont think the wheels (E36 M3 REPS) go too well on that one, they only seem to look nice on mine :lol:

but yeah it look's like a nice example

hi mate, thats my favourite colour for a motor to, got to be worth a grand to Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1200 id say, but i think id change the wheels too!

I am not sure but i think the SHADOWLINES 325s had them wheels as standard.
I suppose they look okay,but if bought they would soon come of and replaced with 15"bbs me thinks.

I am going to look at a 325i sport today,the only thing is its got no service history bloke said he as misplaced it the price is reasonable but depends on what she looks like when i get there.Does history make such a big difference as it is an old car really i am going to go of condition and if its okay i am going to buy it.

that 325 is lovely it's obviously not been a company car and bought by a very wealthy person having options such as :

2 tone dash, sport seats, switchable auto, metallic paint, ABS!!!! (which is rare), m-tech 2 steering wheel

and to boot it looks like it is well cared for I wish I could buy it! lol

Post Sun Oct 16, 2005 10:49 am

if i was looking for one, i would buy that right now!!

Post Sun Oct 16, 2005 10:51 am

I think that looks great! Nice colour, excellent spec too. A manual gearbox would have made it more or less a perfect car.

nice car, just needs a lotus white leather retrim!

Post Sun Oct 16, 2005 11:26 am

Going to look at this at about 12 only 20 mins from me no service history no tax said he would put 12 mot on her for me only 4 owners the guys says its very nice.

What would you choose.

no tax or mot and has "lost" the history? the no tax or mot and him saying he will put a years mot on it suggests to me that hes a trader and the cars been sitting for a while,and he doesnt want to mot it until hes got a buyer.not necessarilly a bad thing but losing the history means it was probably never there,hes left the mileage blank ,must be high. i think id go for the maroon metalic one at the top of the page.

Just got back from looking at the sport what a total wast of time its a shed
Walked round the car said thanks to the guy and came home what shed,told him to cancel the bid that i put in on the car he said he will leave it if i win he will leave me good feedback what should i do how do i cancel.
If anybody is looking its not worth Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1800 more like a grand might be a good project but i would not touch it with a barge pole.

I have made an offer on the SE as i have had a quote on bringing the car up on a transporter it will cost me Ãƒ”šÃ‚£150 which is not bad as it saves a load of hassel.
As i dont even know where MILTON KENYS is and how much it would cost me to go down by train and drive back,i suppose it would be better as i would get to see the car before i part with my money will have to see what he comes back with if he does not take my offer will just buy the nice black e32 735 on ebay as i still love em.

Looks like it has an is lip spoiler on the front as well

you can cancel your ebay bid by going through the retractions page and either saying it wasnt as described or by saying you entered the wrond bid and ebay will remove it automatically.

The auction ended today for the 325i SE,did not reach the reserve i went up to Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1450 said he would take Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1550.
I also took a fancy to a black 735i Hreg e32 but the condition is out of this world.Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1000
I just cant make up my mind.
I like the 325 i but what would it be like with an auto box as if the truth be told its a drivers car and you need a manual box to really enjoy her,but my 325i motorsport convertible is manual so could have best of both worlds.
Now i know many of you will not be fans of the big sevens but they are great cars and with a 3.5 lump they can sure shift,plus its a lot cheaper and a hell of alot of car for the money.

What to do what to do,as i need to book a train 3 days in advance to get a cheap fare down as both are quite a distance to travel wish i could buy both but hey we are living in the real world plus the guy with the 325 just wont budge on his price.

Flip a coin for me guys

what was wrong with it?

Post Tue Oct 18, 2005 7:35 pm

Everything sets ripped loads of rust all round front wheel arch passenger side.Bonnet release hanging off battary flat so could not even start it no battaru tray in the boot, battary sat on a dish cloth and god only knows what its like underneath paint peeling wires hanging out where the radio goes best left alone.

Could do as a project but would have to be cheap.
