:D :D :D :D :D :D

I love it already!!!

needs a few things sorted out, stonechipped bonnet, missing glovebox handle, new mats and a new drivers seat!

Anyway, here goes:

BMW 316i (insurance friendly :D )
4 owners from new
FBMWSH up until 2003, then privately serviced form then.

The eagle eyes will notice it isnt taxed :( so not had a proper shot of it yet, but the engine runs sweet as a nut :D

Hard as fuck!

Started getting a bit arty...

Clean bay for a 14 year old car!

Still got original BMW factory tool kit, which is a brucey bonus :)

Anyway, what do we think?

Oh and nice clean car by the way!!
