Hi

This evening I have succumbed to the lure of Ebay and just won this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am...

The first BMW I have owned since a much missed 325i coupe a few years a go (hence the username).

I went down to look at this one tonight before bidding, and it seemed very tidy, only 105k with a full BMWSH, including a service approx 1500 miles ago - so a nice row of green lights on the service indicator.

Bodywork's not mint, but I'd rather something that's mechanically spot on.

Anyone got one, or had one?

Ed

From the auction, for me the fact the images were taken in the rain ring alarm bells, and the engine picture looks like there's oil round the head and rocker cover.

But then I saw the winning bid, the length of the MOT & TAX and forgot all that lot! smile

If it runs sweet and the box works well I'd say you've got a bargain!

I like the "highly specced car" list which lists lots of standard kit - LOL, these sellers must think people are daft.

Drove a few when I worked for a dealer; Ti is the one to have, though more fun with a manual 'box.

E30 rear suspension makes wet roundabouts entertaining.

If it matches its description, looks like good value.
