Not long ago bought a red 4 door 316i, for 40 quid, the body work was crap, the interior wasn't too good either, but the engine was all good, was thinking about tidying it up and keeping it, The day after it was delivered onto my driveway, i found a metallic black, 2 door 318i, in alot better condition, but the engine was blown, he said he was going to scrap it, i couldn't have that so i bought it for 50 quid, came with an m-tec 1 spoiler and steering wheel, so i dropped the engine out of the 4 door, cleaned it up, and put it in 2 door, only need a few more things sorting then i will get it road legal, just chasing some corss spokes now... :P
