Not sure if its even worth going to view, I noticed the following:

1- aftermarket speakers cut in to rear cards
2- wrong Gear knob
3- asking £18k should have got a set 16" wheels or at least referb the 15"
4- Cracked under dash panel
5- no engine bay pics ( suggests its a load of sh*t under there)

I would not really want to know about the supprises you may get when taking things off. Let us know how it goes with the viewing if you go.

I am guessing he probably wears a set of Stevie Wonders glasses.

After looking at the advert carefully, I have come to realise that I believe this to be the a car that was owned by a zoner in 2004 or so and has possibly had some special repair work done (a pull here and a pull there: paint here and some paint there).

Going through my emails to see if I can find the details of previous owner to confirm my suspicion.

Good pictures but I believe it's going to be a total disappointment at that price.

Lol. Could be the case. The last one I went to see was so rusty that it was a total reshell and even the engine required a total rebuild with all components needed, personally 2bags was too much for something that was bent everywhere but the guy thought it was a gold mine like it was the only one ever built in the world.

Council condition, expect to receive council payment. If your house is 10bags do not expect 15bags for the car :twisted:

Is it for me or does anyone think the non M3s E30s such as 325i etc have done down in price over last few years by £1-2k on average ?

Seems like some decent 325i/ 325i Converttibles fetch about £3k these days ....

The thing is until you have a PROPER look at them, how do you know if they are decent or not ? Look what happened to you ! :eek:


Prices are RISING . Demand is rising and the amount of decent cars available is falling.

So how come that 20000 mile 325i Sport Tech1 has been struggling to sell for a few years via WLN, Avantgarde ?

That car is definitely testing the water,

IMO it should just have been priced POA from the start and waved under the nose of the right collector,

I'm sure it'll go for near the asking price but it'll be a while yet...
