Just been to west london on the train to buy this 318i, it is extremely clean, can't find one spec of rust at all, also has BMW stamped service book 96k miles and an LSD :)

thanks matey, yes it has been lowered on shortened shocks etc. Things wrong with it are: speedo is tempramental but I can fix this for no cost hopefully, just some wires. Drivers chair seems to be stuck really low down and won't tilt forward, I think a cable has come off or something. Thats the only 2 things that are wrong with it, I'm well chuffed :D Is your son looking for a 318i aswel?

Another pic 8)

Nice choice of motor in the end then mate, who needs TechII kit when you get a good looking motor like that!

Don't go being silly with your modifications :D
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Looks a tidy motor. 8)

I am not a big fan of the over colour coding though, a few parts on that would look better black, mainly the sills.
