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.

if i had to pay 2k for it and sat on the kit for 1k then it's a goer , I like your train of thought .

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.

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

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!
