Quick!! Here's your chance to buy 'Joyride', a 'one off' automatic 3 series..... It's only done 173k too.
Owner says, "Hello. With a breaking hearth listing this BMW E46 323Ci Automatic which I called Joyride". "It's got very rare Alpina body kit, including front and rear bumpers, skirts, bonnet vents and spoiler. Would look proper Alpina if you would put wide arches, many people think it's real Alpina!" I'm going to hazard a guess that they don't. Utter gash. To be fair to the lad though, he has put a fair bit of effort into the advert. He'll even throw in the steering wheel if he gets the full asking price hehe

Spotted at the Castle Combe Summer Action Festival.
Also it's not an RS5, it's actually a 2.7 TDI.

I think it looks awesome.

Although it's a diesel and has RS5 badges, so that ruins it.

But I really like that kit.

Rear fitment is ermm... illegal. Not to mention £2k for a ropey 5dr Mk3 is ridiculous


I wonder how much rear suspension travel it has? I would suggest none and the smallest little bump in the road will have it bouncing about all over the place and generally driving like crap.

If Alpina had anything to do with that bodykit then I would quite happily eat my trousers, are some people actually that delusional, or gullible, or do they actually convince themselves that the bullst they are spouting is the truth? Anyway £2.5k for a rusty e46, I think I'll pass. smile

File the 928 under "so bad it's awesome"

How much to import from USA ?.....wobble

The 928 looks like a Strosek modified Porsche , but maybe a (bad) copy ?

I think my favourite thing about this one is the lengths they've gone to i order to debadge the front grill, only to go ahead and put two stickers on top of the windscreen. Oarsum.

I always wanted a phase 3 Strosek.
I love side strakes, must be an age thing.
I'm partial to a bit of Zeemax too.
I might be beyond help.

Personal taste i suppose but I'm struggling to see how you can, it looks like it is trying way too hard, it lacks any level of cohesion and looks like it was designed on an old NFS game... however, to each his own.
Glossing over the rather *ahem* distinctive body kit, it baffles me why people feel the need to badge up a car and create a "sheep in wolfs" clothing"; an A5 is a respectable car and by sticking an RS5 badge on it just nocks the driver into the Barry boy leagues and screams of insecurity to me... that said so do non-functioning bonnet scoops biggrin

Sweet jesus that is horrible, I've never been a huge Porker fan but always liked 928s and that is tragic.

That 928 thing, wtf is going on there. Surely that was somebody's idea of an expensive joke.
I posted 'Joyride' earlier on and felt confident that it would be the biggest pile of wk I'd find today. I hadn't reckoned on Shannon who is selling her 1.6 Vauxhall Zafira. So apologies for two posts in a day, but I couldn't resist.
Ticks a lot of boxes: Stupid paintwork, painted tyres, fake bonnet vents, fake exhausts, stupid stickers, boost gauges despite being N/A. Highly desirable.
