318i auto whats it worth

[dmaxfield]

Just looked at a 318i auto 1990 got a scrape on one of the arches ,couple of little rust paches drives nice bit of noise on power steering pump,15" alloys,seats are worn,with 124000 on it in dark red with an MOT no rot to be found anywhere .

[Gwynleym10]

All depends on how much MOT and Tax it has IMO.

2months MOT and No tax about £150 (if the BBS are in good condition with nice tyres)

Longer MOT and Lots of Tax upto £500 - but I wouldn't pay that.

[dmaxfield]

it has a long MOT but no tax they have it up at £600 the alloys are in vgc with good tyres

Seems a fair enough price. But, which red is it?

[dmaxfield]

Its a maroon red

[Gwynleym10]

I'd want some tax if I was paying over £500!

Does it sound like a sewing machine?!



If it does!

[snoops]

offer them 500 quid.

[dmaxfield]

she sounds really sweet ,i offered him £300 and he has excepted it ,I have bought it for my son ,all I need now is all the bits to make it how he wants it.

I assume there'll be a gearbox change soon......?

[Jhonno]

£300 is a bargain.. Long as the top end is still cam shaped.. Nice one Max

Just get an manual box on it now..

[Kos]

that seem like a good buy, most 318's have been looked after and it give J a blank canvas to hake the car his own.

[snoops]

sounds like a good project, if its a maroon red possibly calypso red? IIRC one of maxfield's favourite colours

[hammoj28]

Nice one. Looking forward to seeing what gets done to it.

[dmaxfield]

yes for sure first job to be done can not see my son wanting to drive an auto

[dmaxfield]

thought the car would be good like this and he can build it to how he wants hope he likes the colour think will look sweet with right wheels and m tec kit

hope so

[maxfield]

Nope calpso is a metallic colour.

Bring on the toblerone

[Chris-W]

Weinrot perhaps?

[maxfield]

Could be...

Haven't seen the car yet so haven't got a scooby.

That was my first thought when he said it was not metallic.

[Ziggy]

Max' has an E30 at last!

[maxfield]

Been a long wait

In fact I haven't even seen or driven the car yet

[320Touring]

well done Jamie, and dmaxfield

now, time to practice Jamie..

My 318i, My 318i, My 318i etc

[Ziggy]

My 318i, My 318i, My 318i etc

[josh-hocking]

congratulations!! hope its what you wanted maxfield!!

[Jhonno]

Nice one Jamie.. Now lets see if you have taste..

[maxfield]

There will be no chavvy body kits

Slammed 15" BBS iS front lip. DTM mirrors and smoothed bootlid.

Pretty much like yours

[snoops]

Assume you be sorting the chassis nicely also..

[maxfield]

Defiantly.

Manual conversion and interior will come first. Then onto body few subtle tweeks. Then suspension, brakes and a Z3 rack. Will be sticking short shifter in with new gearbox. Maybe clutch too.

[Jhonno]

whilst the flywheel is off get it lightened!!

[maxfield]

That's if I do clutch but if it's ok then won't bother. Only an M40 that will get changed next year anyway...

[Jhonno]

flywheel needs swapping anyways, and clutch needs to come off to fit it.. So might as well, can use it on the m42 also i believe

[maxfield]

Will probably keep box and engine together depending on which is the best engine. If we split them I will.
