The vin number is stamped into the bulkhead area under the wipers and on a ali plate on the front...
some are re-retched, some are not, depends on who fitted the glass...

what a waist of fucking time!
was met at a petrol station..taken to a house with a e30 sport on drive vrry nice but poss ringer???looked verry familer (G360 XOW) grey sport.
and then he opend up 2 masive gates and behind that was 2 blue scoobys, mr2 in yellow with a hatefull bodykit! and an fto along with the sport i was going to look at!
any way the first thing he said was it realy is mint..no rust...good tyres!
so i looked at tyres with out even bending over and could see that they were well in there wear bars! looked roud briefly and saw that the passenger door look had been poped!
got inside and the drivers seat was realy realy bad..carpet torn..glove box jamed!
asked him to pop the bonnet and had to lagh when he pulled out a pair of plyers lol!
under the bonnet around the strut tops were rotten...chassis plate matched with chassis number tho wich is good??lol on opening the header tank found that the water was nealy pure oil???(i wonder)lol
then it had a flat battry and a punture too...
the list realy does go on and on!
so if any 1 is looking for a smart little 325i sport just give him a shout! bargain at only 2495!

People who say no rust, then show you the car...?! Do they think we are blind! When i bought mine the guy said 'no rust i dont think'. I got the car and have yet to find ANY rust at all. Not a spot, and had the interior and bumpers etc off as well.!! Guess i got lucky. He also said 'good radio' and handed me a receipt for it for 700 when i bought the car!

. Top bloke!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Few years older than me, hope i have a sport at 19 but doubt it!

the reg sounds familiar but then again i'm way oop north so i could be thinking of a similar one
"adam_s" who gets on here from time to time went to look at loads like you have today (read total turds and dogs/ringers) and yet after a few weeks found a good value buy that only needed a little bit fo work to turn it into a really good example
keep looking and you WILL find that perfect car that you have been dreaming of....i'm sure of it
