Straight swapped my MR2 for this yesterday






320i in dark green (pretty rare colour in saloon form) and cream leather seats. Drives well, has 74k on the clock and i cant find any rust on it. Electric everything and thing thats broken is the central locking.

Plan is to change the 17s for 15s, respray the mirrors and get some new number plates. Drove fine on the way back and everyone ive spoken to thus far have said it will be worth far more than the MR2.

Looks smart that, I'd put money on the central locking problem being ECU related, which is located behind the speaker cover in the drivers footwell. They have a solder joint which melts in the case of overcurrent, or it could simply be water ingress, as they're in a crap place for it!

I had woes with mine but got it working again with a new ECU (never did get the fuel filler working properly!)

If you're after some 15" BBS give me a PM smile

Very nice smile You've got to change those wheels though, they're horrible. As already mentioned, get some BBS wheels on it!
