Probably the best colour BMW used to paint any E30!
A pity they didn't fit at least an M42 (iS) engine.
Do you know if the mtec kit is factory fitted?

[lennybhoy]

I honestly wouldn't know,
my dad has had the car for 13 years and its only been out the garage in good weather once a week really,
he put the new roof on it, I know it looks black in the pics but its actualy a dark blue

[bss325i]

Looks nice with the tech 2 kit but man those wiper blades need to go!

[lennybhoy]

funny I was thinking the same, wrong colour,
my old man reckons all the mtec kit is factory fitted,
he replaced the alloys back to bbs and bought the metal center caps but afraid to put them on, too many people steal them and at around £50 each they aint cheap lol

[lennybhoy]

any of the members put a price on it? not for sale but im curious as I got it from my dad, family rates lol
only one stamp missing from service history,
new roof
solid throughout
97,000 miles,
every receipt and mot from last 14 years
starts and runs like a dream
its an automatic

[jimbom30cab]

lovely car indeed

got to be worth north of £5k, maybe £7k, I don't know just guessing to be honest

you also have a TOP Dad !!!

very nice

[lennybhoy]

full years mot just put on it last week, only needed 2 brake pipes and a brake freed up as its garaged so often,
il wait and see a few more estimate then I will reveal what I paid,
nothing even remotely near 5g,
I have the receipt from when the old man bought it 13 year ago and he paid 7g

[lennybhoy]

surely it cant be worth that? feeling guilty now

[Brianmoooore]

I paid £600 for my wife's, but it wasn't quite in the condition yours is in, or has a mtec kit, although it does have immaculate seats.

[lennybhoy]

not a mark on these seats either m8,
the mechanic that did the mot said its never seen a welder and doesn't look like it will ever need to

[Topblag]

Looks like a clean example. I'm thinking your pics are taken in the Cowdenbeath area with the wind turbines in the background ? I'm breaking a facelift cabby at the moment if you need any bits. I'm in Crossgates.

[lennybhoy]

lochgelly m8,
I think everything is tip top and working but that's handy to know,
I will definitely keep it in mind, thanks

[lennybhoy]

this car is now open to sensible offers,
cant get a tow bar fitted without cutting the body kit up and i would hate to do that.

[DanThe]

Why would you want to fit a towbar to a car like this?

[lennybhoy]

i have got a speed boat and cant get out to play without a tow bar

[Nobby_N]

How much you pay for it?

[lennybhoy]

i got it at a real good price from my dad, obviously wouldnt let it go for the same price,
it now has 11 months mot on it too, not looking to be greedy tho,
just need to replace the car with preferably an estate with tow bar

[G-Bear]

Thats a lovely car.

Seems a shame to part with it just because of a toe bar. I know it may look a little odd; but couldn't you just put a normal facelift rear bumper or a fibreglass imitation Tech II bumper on and make the cut, get a toe bar and enjoy it.

Keeping the Tech II bumper for later when you really want to sell it or you get bored of the speed boat .

[lennybhoy]

they dont make tow bars for this model any longer, there is a few places prepared to cut n weld a contraption up but they want crazy cash to do the job,
i love my fishing more than my driving to be honest, the boat is something iv wanted for years

[lennybhoy]

if i get £2500 i would be happy enough and would feel i hadnt ripped anyone off

[DanThe]

Lots of towbars about second hand and you dont need to cut the car up to fit them.
But I do think you should be using something a bit better to pull your boat around with

[lennybhoy]

doesnt help that i have fou rkids and the bmw has bucket seats,
always been guilty of impulse buying,
boys and their toys lol
