sounds about right.. the engine and box would have put the weight up. our 318is shell was stripped completely.

sorry never seen it!
to cut a long story short i was on ebay lookin for a 328 sport block to replace my broke one and came across a 325i convertible with mint running gear for £275 when i got there the shell was imaculate so decided to put my bits on it
it was only when i took the kit off the sport i realised how bad it was, there was no inner arch in the passenger side rear at all!
but it was mint with the kit covering it.
i could have cried when it went this morning the money spent on it!

Should have asked on here, ive got 2 328i blocks and would have bought the engine off you for spares
