Hi all
Well today i got my hands on an 89 318i for £100
97k on the clock. No mot but this car is spot on not alot of rust on at all.
Loads of paper work and well looked after.
Not like the one i have already its got more rust than the titanic lol
So now im going to strip the old one and fit the tech 2 kit and wheels on the new one.
I will pick new one up in the week and post some pics.

£100 quids not bad if its in good condition but id always wonder why the seller didnt mot it himself to get a better selling price if it didnt need much.

Hi Fuzzy
It was not up for sale i saw it down the side of a house.
when and saw the chap he said he got a new car about a year ago,
parked the bmw up and left it.
It ran out of mot then tax and just sat there.
So i said i give you a £100 for it.
Good bit of luck hey.

It can't be that hard to please him, he settles for second best (YB) :)

£100 is a bargain assuming it runs and gets through the MOT on the cheap :)

Agreed. I'd hope most breaker E30's could recoup 100 notes.

yes, on reflection i might have been a tad harsh. £100 should be a decent bargain :D

And there I thought it was going to be a £100 note with a picture of an E30 on it...

Seriously good deal if it's in good nick, though...everything I've seen for approaching that money recently has been a bit poo

Well done that man ! What other car off that age can you buy for that kind of money?
The car was built in the 22nd week of 1989, and should have a/c, heated mirrors/door locks, esr.
Originally bought from Sytner Sunningdale :D

Nice buy imho.

I got this off a mate for £100 then sold the 15" bbs it came with for the same price, nicked a few little bits that I needed and gave it to a mate for nothing. It needed a new door though. And the scuttle is a gonner!
