ok cool, i know manual versions are a bit rarer than auto.

thanks so about 6k - 7k is a good price for a mint one, hopefully it wont drop in value too much when i sell it in the future, if i sell it?

thanks again

Loads of posts on this subject bud. Do a search.

Yeah manuals are rarer. You say you've already bought it? Got any pics? Mauritius blue is a wicked colour I reckon, looks sweet as hell when the sun hits it :D

There is a J reg one on abay in that colour for about Ԛ£4k, but like mine i'd suspect you'd have to spend almost that ontop to make it mint winkeye

No not bought it yet, was gonna go and buy it today but he wants cash only no bankers draft, so gonna have to wait.

you know what people are like when they say its MINT , when you turn up its all over the place.

Bootyman got a link to ebay Beemer , might be worth look .

It's the 3rd one down. Looks quiet nice, but like i said, Ԛ£4k for a Motosport will need money speanding on it to make it mint. Advantage is you can stamp your own authority on it and make it slightly different from all the other's like i'm doing. 17x10 3piece rims, fat arches, pimp interior, enough ICE to start your own disco and a new colour :D

Do i care what the Motorsport Police think? "LIKE FCUK I DO" winkeye

It's an Mtech cab and not a Motorsport. He clearly states it and the interior wouldn't be cream leather either. Still loiks like a beautiful car though winkeye

Ah, I just thought he may not of known what he got? Could of the original owner had the Mtech2 kit factory fitted - must of been a retro fit surely? And the cream leather could easily be lotus white to somone who don't know? I couldn't see the colour of the rims, my screen pretty dark and the pic got shadows around that area..so I couldn't tell if they were nagaro silver.

there is a H26 on autotrader left hooker which was offered to me for 1700 with 16inch hartge splits and all electric incl roof , was a bit slow makin a decision and he sold it

the guy has it up for 3700 now , nice litlle profit but i would have kept it for 1700 just widened the wheels for euro look and it was just resprayed by my mate.

missed out :(

the lady owner just went down too the beemer garage and got it confirmed its a genuine

but she now wants 7k for it :(

its probably worth it but i aint got that much

I want the M3 cab but we cant always have what we want all the time,its just not meant to be.
If you have the money and you wont miss it,pay the man and drive her home you only get to go round the clock of life once.

This the link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-E30-325i-Conv ... dZViewItem

Saw it yesterday - but I don't get why it's on ebay? Has it had 3 owners in the last couple of weeks or something? Just makes you wonder innit?

WLN would have that up for £10k, no problems.

Low miles, late registration and outstanding condition.

It will go for a high price I would think.
