dunno if its worth it at 1200

Depends on whether you've got the time and patience. (And ideally a tame spanner-man.)

If I had somewhere to keep it, and £3k burning a hole in my pocket, I'd be tempted.

[E38Ross]

rear tyres different size to front?

errrr, they're meant to be....

[CampDavid]

I'd say so.

Rear tyres should be a different size to the front, the wheels are a different size FFS!

[Trustmeimadoctor]

i had from the sounds of it the same klonk on my 328 coupe and that was lower wishbone bush i know it doesnt use wishbones though

A good example of why most MOT advisories should be ignored.

Get him to MOT it. You never know what bork is lurking.

Yet the ball joint has gone duff in 200 miles.

That sounds like it will need money spent on it.

Years tax £220 years mot £50 if nothing needs doing or just a bulb etc.

Now its a £1500 car and you haven't fixed that knocking sound yet.

Sat for a long time with probably not alot of fuel in = more likely to have a rusty fuel tank?

You don't ant to have to fix that so dump it for another.

How old is that picture? doubt someone would leave it on the road with no tax and possibly no insurance.

photo was taken sept 29th

im really having trouble finding another decent looking 728 within say 100 miles of me. stupidly i have my heart kinda set on a 728 dunno why

but i would have a 328 sport again though but all the good looking ones seem to be autos for less than 2k

something would have to be done about price and lack of mot i agree

[BlueMR2]

If your going to end up spending £3k anyway you may as well do it properly in the first place.

Even got wood inlay.

Is that so bad? Assuming you weren't planning on using it for track days, do you need the hooliganability of spanish cogs? It's not a bad auto.

no i suppose not and tbh an auto does give it slightly more cruising ability

Oh yes. Yes indeed. That looks very proper and above board.

Who's buying it?

[BlueMR2]

If you still want that £1200 beemer then get the right numbers so you can check its mot history online.

Indeed. I don't get Paras on an L though, I mean, the ride suffers which isn't want you want from your rear heated seat.

Be a proper tool for the road trip season

It sure does.

I should contact the owner regarding his winters, really. Or maybe he could PM me.

Hadn't realised these were in thread budget:

but seller said:

Some scrapes on bodywork/ alloys.. hence price

Wonder how bad it is? Too far from me to just go and take a look on the off chance it's not actually that bad.
