2003: Guy buys new bmw 320 convertible for his lady.
The old car goes to the BMW garage I work, this is an 92' 318i E30 convertible.
Looks like this: Green with cream leather inside and the seams around the seats in green too, very hot!! Options: power steering, ABS, elektrical windows/mirrors and rooftop. Mileage: 60.000km 8O .
I ran to the sales man that took over the car, I said "I want that car"!!
I suposed to buy the car for 6000euro everything was ok untill... .
The owners deside to sell the car themself to their neighbours son :evil: .
They where allowed to sell the car themself
DAMN it was a very beautiful car :cry: .

2005: We had a surprise this year too, an E30 was standig at the bmw garage where I work, Front damaged, leftside and the rear very hard damaged.
But than I looked in the car, and saw this: only 6000kms 8O !!! (I didn't forgot an 0, He drove 6000Km in 14 years)

The story of the car: Dude buys the car in '91,
320i with seats heathing, light whipers, and some more options.
Pretty sick dude do, he puts the car in his garage and just sits in it, doing what??
Well putting clocks, playboy bunny's,meters, even peaces of carpet :mad: all over the dashboard, stickers on the doors, windows. car was full with newspapers on the floor, empty agenda's and nice fluffy things over the seats.
On the outside: more stickers, bmw logo's,playboy bunny's.
Owke but than, he drilled 2 holes in his trunk to put 2 antenna's on,
A third stoplight on the top of the trunk and a rear whiper????
Yes you read it right, a rear whiper through the roof!! :evil: .
Pretty wrong eh.
But what was left of the car was in very good shape, the front lights, bumper, the hole car was like new, no scratch at all.
Just a showroom car, but now a totall loss showroom car.

How he got damaged even better story:
He already bought a new bmw E90 before the E30 got damaged.
He sold it to his neighbour, so they took a ride.
On the freeway, they made contact with a truck, car tolls into the rails :cry: .

The car was sold to the highest bidder, They told me they would let me know the highest bid so I could go over it, but they forgot so I couldn't get the car.
The car was sold to a cardealer for 250euro's :cry: .
DAMN.

Next time I'll have to try harder.

Oh and next time I have to take pics but I forgot.
Pitty because the one from the crazy dude is hilarious!

Sounds interesting, and the 320i owner sounds like a bit of a weird chap! :mad:

I very nearly bought a Ferrari F40 once, but at the very last minute the cheque bounced.

So close.................................... winkeye winkeye
