Welcome and dont worry about getting a four pot nowt wrong with them.....

especially an m3!!

Check brake lines if you have a jack and a torch... cost an arm and a leg to get replaced if you arent handy with a spanner!

4 pots are fine for daily driving, they do tick as standard so dont be put off. (if it clatters, run to the hills!)

6 pots do have a lovely purr to them

Rusty arches are again as standard. central locking is usually intermittent and check for damp carpets at water gets into the boot.

While the bits to do with getting a body kit may not always be relevant, it's an excellent thread

Sorry to double post but if i said a a g reg 320i 95000 miles mot and tax till april in black 4 door would b Ԛ£750 sound resonalble price for then to be asking?

[cliffybabe]

[Keg_gt]

here is a pic of it

That looks pritty cool loving the wheels

[cliffybabe]

Keg looks like a nice motor mate, Ur going to be part of the 4 door massive on the zone then

the rims are nice mate, that side looks straight enough, like i said earlier would need to know more spec on her mate

[dobbie82]

sounds a very fair price to me, i paid a bit more last week for my 320i SE on a H reg, 78k with FSH though

[Keg_gt]

all belts were changed in april just gone ,power steering belt,cam belt and fan belt .extras are no stereo but will leave all speakers including bass box and an amp all wired up it has black leather seats also a car computor so you can see temperature outside average speed ect electric windows, wing mirrors,sunroof ,and also centrol locking and alarm doors unlock etc using key fob have plenty of reciepts.

i have recived extra info now yay does this help much?

[cliffybabe]

Mate the leather worth a couple of 100 alone if in good nick sounds like a good buy mate

[billgatese30]

buy it,

like everyone has said, leather will fetch a few hundred as will the wheels as they are fairly rare, plus things like computer etc are worth about 70-80 quid or so, that means that if it turns out to be a turd then you can break it for a profit and go looking for a better car

[Keg_gt]

Well thats grrrrr sold well ill just have to keep an eye out 4 one
