Nice looking wedge on ebay
Discussion
Body shape is different to my 350i. Looks more seamless and deeper sills. Looks good though.

Looks like someones try to incorporate some of the 390se styling to a 350i: the front spoiler with the additional holes adjacent to the driving lights, the slight lip on the front and rear arches, the vented bonnet. Interior looks nice. Side pipe? shame about the gaping hole in the rear valance. At a guess the dipstick tube has been blowing oil, looking at the staining on the rocker cover. Quite like the wheels, and the rear 400 / 450 spoiler suits it. Pricing seems a bit rich IMHO.

It's certainly nice looking, but I'm not sure if it is actually nice. Seems to be a bit of pick and mix. 400se bonnet and rear spoiler, wrong wheels, side pannels also seem differrnt and wrong finish on dash, roll bar etc. Price wise it's about avrage for a good V8, but only if it's good. Just my opinion.

The only thing I don't like is the way the sills are lower than the front and rear wing trims. Looks a bit strange. Wonder if it came our of Blackpool like that?Tony. TCB.
Great colour.
There is some writing on the front of the rocker cover...Something about using fully synthetic oil?...It also has only a 4 speed box?...The engine bay is very scruffy and unloved..And using a misguiding write up in a classic car magazine to sell a car is a bit lame... From the onset it looks good but i think its a case of nice from far but far from nice...I think 4-5K would be more realistic...Although would need a sympathetic Wedge enthusiast...Sorry to slate it off but its my personal opinion....A messy engine always makes me cringe...
Just been looking again at the engine pic and you can see evidence of tampering on the AFM...Not at all needed unless to disguise an on going un-resolved issue like an annoying mis-fire...Also all the wires to the plug on the AFM look naff and susceptible to moisture ingress...I should imagine the oil hasn't been changed every year either...Or plugs and leads...And the pictures look a bit like they have been either cartoonised or photoshopped...Especially the interior pic...Looking at the hand brake cover and to me it looks like a cartoon?...Might just be me though...
