ive been asked what a cars worth, an tbh im not sure.

D plate 318i
44k from new with pretty much full service history - some bmw, some private
champagne colour

no pas, no electrics, manual sunroof, steel wheels, no spoilers or anything.



now he seems to think its worth Ԛ£2k+
tbh to me its worthless, i wudnt touch it and cant see it making more than Ԛ£500 maybe but then only cos of the condition and mileage, but what do u all think ?

no one for 2k...

There would be someone who would want it, you just gotta find them!! Make a good conversion shell

Hmm it sounds minty minty, a 318i with 23 000 miles of a similar age was for sale for 8000 in the bmwcarclub magazine a while back..dunno if it sold though.

I recon its worth more than a grand at least (if it really is mint) 2k mabe pushing it, but you may find the right buyer!
