This has appeared on the thread before and is still for sale, looks great value from a seller with some very nice cars (which rightly or wrongly inspires confidence) ...

It's a pile of scrap metal and used parts, how much do you want to pay for it?

The windows are sealing correctly, the rear parking sensors are tickety-boo, it's definitely not missing a brake light and any suggestion that it has done a lot more than 80,000miles and is totally fked would be absurd. And those are clouds reflected in the factory-standard mismatched paint.

Happy Friday Bargistas.

It seems my 210 is on borrowed time or at least my gut feeling is that it won't pass the MoT next month. Suspected engine ECU fault.

Didn't you spend quite a lot on sorting yours out recently, body etc?

If so, don't give up! Surely a secondhand replacement ECU would be available?

at £500-750 range that'd make a reasonable parts car.

the plate alone with worth over "250" - 250 magic beans I assume.

MB in their wisdom made them coded to each car. I'll put it in for the test and go from there. Probably worth sending off to an ECU tester for the sake of £50-60 just to see. Yes, spent a lot last year on having the body all done. Bloody annoying as I'm not far away from making it to a decent state!

Sorry to hear that tobinen. How much, dare I ask, is a new ecu? How much have you spent on it?

I suppose the fact they're TRXs and in that size come in at £329+VAT each last time I checked a few years ago, probably more now (for the same tyres that were sat in stock then no doubt).

Appealingly original though. Flagship BMW from the late '80s - optional radio!


(or no cost delete option, at least)

isn't the sensible/cheaper option a set of wheels (and tyres) that fit " size tyres.

Forgive me for being very ignorant but we hear about the BMW tyre issue and prices a lot - what exactly was the issue, and how did it come about? Did BMW just chose weird dimension tyres for a while, or what?!
