You’re right, Dan. Especially when the seller says about the bits it could do with.
Let’s be honest, at nearly 160 large the smoke probably isn’t the CCV, either.
It ain't the CCV; it's the stem seals. So there's £1k off the asking price alreadyLet’s be honest, at nearly 160 large the smoke probably isn’t the CCV, either.
Interior is tatty; exterior is tatty, wheels are foul, tyres need changing, brakes probably too...
As said; £5k tops and I reckon you'd still be in for a few big bills....
Now I've seen the video; I wouldn't touch that with a bargepole unless you're after a project and have someone lined up to sort the engine issues toot-sweet
Watched the video. Doesn't look that bad to me?
As said, he runs it but only breifly from within the car, and does show the exhaust during this.
I've got a e46 330ci on 185k, the stem seals (assumed) pass some oil, as you would expect, but it's really fairly managable. Bit of light smoke when you boot it after a long coast down to a junction on the overun.

It's well worn IMO pal. But then again I've got OCD when it comes to condition of cars...As said, he runs it but only breifly from within the car, and does show the exhaust during this.

The engine would still be a concern of mine; you'd want to get the valve stem seals done for peace of mind really, IMO
aaaaand mines up for sale.....
Got all the bits done that needed doing - front shock, front bushes, new front headlight to cure a fogging and dynamic headlight fault, new alternator bracket oil seal, conti AllSeason Sport contacts all round, all with lots of tread, years MOT, full leather interior with no scratches or tears and with the rear luggage cover
Downside is 189k miles, but its not a smoker.
