Well is it over-priced?

Also why is there a gap in the dashboad. There is a wire coming out?

[declasm]

Have you tried advertising elsewhere? gumtree, autotrader, carandclassic, e36coupe, bmwtrackzone etc etc?

'Needs air conditioning re-gassed'

Please don't take this personally but...

That is one phrase I hate to read in an ad. If that is what it needs then get it done, for the sake of a few quid you are putting potential buyers off.

This is because like me, they most likely think the air conditioning is fked. They will not believe it needs regassed as such a simple and cheap job would surely have been done. Everyone reading that reads it as needing £500 of work done

Exactly. £60 to get it done at Kwik fit. I would think "If all it needs is a regas, why hasn't the owner had this done??" and i would answer myself with "Because the air-con is probably screwed".

It screams out goosed A/C to me.

Yeah agree with the AC comments and are those wheels original? They look like replicas (might be the photo)

[Odhran]

What's the craic with the steering wheel too?

'Needs AC regas' immediately translates to 'compressor or heat exchanger gubbed, or pipe work like swiss cheese, no chance of it holding any pressure and a big bill if you want it to work again' with BMWs. If it truly only needs a regas, get it done.

Other than that, your pics aren't particularly good - they don't really 'sell' the car, and £2999 sells cars better than £3000.

Doesn't look a bad ad otherwise.

also what's wrong with the back-end and nearside?
take it somewhere nice and get some good pictures of it

[maxspeed]

well the wire coming out is the usb lead for the head unit, wheels are original, its been on ebay and autotrader. Ill get the air con gassed soon.

No offence, but when I read 'air-con needs re-gas' I immediately wonder what other jobs still require doing? Maintenance is everything.

Yup...it implies the car hasn't been looked after and not maintained regularly. The Aircon should be checked when a car is in for a service so it also implies that servicing not been done properly.....
