Taken from the badly modified cars thread.

When selling a car, always a good idea to include your mate in the background, having a piss / fiddle / wk against a brick wall

Wow they are odd looking seats - like a black leather and quite poorly done replica of Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants.

It's just an accidentally snapped image but it's just piss poor quality control - you'd expect better from a main BMW dealer.

I wouldn't

BMW approved used website - you'd think they'd remove the "SIxt" car rental badge in the windscreen!



Also as a Brucie Bonus, pic number 6

Is it just me, or does the drivers wing mirror look longer than the passengers?

This seller's gone to town with the quality of his pictures, alongside some top notch vehicle prep.

Yup, recognised that as Esprit just from the photo. Spectacular.

My Esprit wasn't an Essex so just had a green glowing digital clock between the sun visors - which never managed to keep correct time.

Not entirely unheard of. I remember back when you would see cars with only 1 wing mirror by design

pax mirror will be angled more steeply in relation to head on for the same size of mirror so maybe they make it smaller to reduce drag a teeny bit?

[South tdf]

Or maybe just the auto crop used to put on the background has gone over it a little to much.

I love those! How fast was the owner trying to sell the car? Seriously shonky photos = seriously shonky car. I’m always amazed at the sellers who don’t get that.

Polo GTi and Lupo GTi in 2000 both had smaller passenger mirrors than the drivers side. No idea why.

Why not?

Not quite sure what is going on here...

I am not sure if I would ever buy a car from someone who has B1G as part of their number plate, or BO55 for that matter

Merc W124 and W201s had asymmetric door mirrors with the drivers side giving a more panoramic view, and the passenger side a more portrait view showing more kerb and tighter line along the side to help getting back into lane after an overtake for example

Adverts that use phone pictures taken from another source always put me off. Sometimes they are on surprisingly expensive cars too. Not this one though, item description is bang on

Because of the width of narrow European cities it was mostly done for, giving a better view kerbside and pulling in after overtake, but also to stop you smashing mirrors off with your mirror.
