I've got far worse problems with my 318IS, head gasket is gone, starter motor is on its way out rocker cover bolts need helicoiling and i've decided not to frag that.

Anyone know what time it is?

Nice one Jim - looks like a really good clean shell so would have been a crime to frag it :D

Well the price is undecided at the minute so its going to be more than £800. But at the same time, I always seem to see them never sell when priced over 1k... But I'll see... Still havent bothered to sort anything on it yet though, hopefully this weekend but I do say that every weekend. Aha!

looks too good to frag it Jim, i'd say give it a clean up write yourself out a detailed advert and stiick it up for 1k :D

as you say it does not cost you much to keep so you can wait on someone who is looking for a solid base 325i

Good luck with the sale hop you get what your after for it

Funny things to sell are Tourings. I think they're a bit of a marmite car and it's rare to see one, no matter how good, sell for four figures.

Bizarre because they drive as well as any other and really are practical, but they never seem to make the money.
