Found , what appears to the untrained eye , to be a nice looking 320i Touring on www.oldcolonelcars.co.uk ( 5th car down , the Red one ) .....

To me it looks in good order , and as far as I can establish , the seller is someone who has a good history in quality motors..

However , you guys know shedloads more about these cars than I do , so I thought I would ask for your opinions before approaching the dealer , so as I know what questions I should be asking..

Thanks in advance for any help.

Old Colonel have a really good reputation when in comes to older BMW's. They only stock decent, genuine, original motors. Sometimes their pricing is a tad optimistic IMO but the better examples will naturally fetch a premium. That looks very tidy and appears to have been well cared for.

Looks ok and genuine the only issue is that its a 320 and red really you would want a 325 engine in that and that starts to make it more expensive and less original. check for rust and paint fade as well as the usual. Low mileage toruings are rare though.
