the plan is to maybe keep it for a while and fix it up or pass it on and make a small profit ....being a sport i'd hate to frag it , not sure on mileage or history ..

I'd be wanting to remove the sill cover clips and have a gander at the state of the sills, and ideally, try to get a peek under the carpets to see the state of the footwells.

Looks like the front bumper has been pushed in a fair way, so check carefully for crash damage.

Is that radiator correct? It looks a bit small for a 325i...

Nice six-branch though.

Well you must know what its worth in bits.

That minus a decent profit to frag it and that's it value.

if i pay 2k for it then i need £750 for the kit and £300 on the diff , box £150,headliner £100 then the zaust needs to needs to be identified etc so a fair bit of selling and removal graft/time

how do i tell if it's a bbtb manifold and not an ebay snyde ..... what's a bbtb manifold worth ??


i need to check all the grot areas before it's condemed i think it may sell at 2.5k needing work..is this realistic .

£500 for a btb2 complete with x pipe.

Check the welds and primary fitment, it will be obvious if its and ebay special

i'll check for the cross over and get some better pics when i go to see it so i'll have some respite before the bank opens ...i know i won't lose money but i don't want to frag it to make the same money as a 318i touring would fetch buying it for 300 lol

Assume it's a rusty bucket and smile if if it's not and walk away if it s more than £1800 for fragging. Tech two wanted adverts all over the place so ask 1k. winkeye

I've seen this on facebook and though it was cheap, seeing the picture of the front corner I can understand why.

Depends if its a rusty shit box and the damage is just superficial its also a non sunroof from the looks of the pics which is a plus.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E30-325i- ... 23432d98c5

take a look at this it doesn't have crash damage but look at the state of the roof its fucked. Also watched a shitter on ebay a few weeks back and that was hanging but still went for over 2k

I used to see this car in Deckham parked outside a house for a few weeks Mick, then it disappeared. I noticed the front pushed back whilst driving past it.

I wondered what happened to it, now I know :)

This wants adding to your "turd on a chain" photo album
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

the seller decided to keep the car no less than 5 hrs after advertising it , probably sick of being offered 1k or swap for my 1.2 badboy corsa .


i was the only one with the cash there and then :roll:

Seems you missed out on turning a profit, not on the frag, but a re-sale considering the number of enquiries on here wanting to buy it! :?
