Joined here earlier this year with a 316i SE. Sold that because i couldn't put up with the rust and the dodgey repair i done on it lol. Sold it and made a nice wee profit on it, i paid £550 with 66k on the clock, it walked an MOT and i got £1200 back :)

This was my old one

Anyway picked this up on Wednesday night from Cupar in Fife, it's a 318Ti Sport M Tech, needs a good valet and a polish up. It's Techno Violet and done a genuine 67k! Paid a bit more than i wanted to for it but it was worth it purely for the condition of it. No rust in the common spots and none on the car body at all! It's a cracking car to drive but the wheels imo let it down so trying to source wheels. Also has some niggles i need to sort but i plan on keeping this one for a good while! :)

Only have the sellers pics at the moment but will try get some of my own over the weekend :)

Snypa-D I hate u lol. Definitely going on coils now after seeing that Photoshop! Was gonna go for 50mm springs but don't think it'll sit like that on them.

Charlee it's a great colour! Put a pic of yours on

Just gotta decide between springs and coil overs to make it sit like that.

Well nothings changed with the car, had a blow out on the motorway. Only damage sustained was the tyre, was a simple pop and air out thankfully. Still not something u want at 60mph!

Running the stupid space saver as can't afford a new tyre atm :( Cars not moved in 2 days now cause i hate driving it with the space saver. Doesn't feel safe.

Car possibly could be for sale depending what happens with a new job in the new year. Going to be a taxi driver so the car will become surplus to requirements. Not sure yet what i'm gonna do with it. Had it mot'd at the start of the month and it failed on 2 brake pipes at the rear, not bad for a 12 year old car! Will be sorted on Monday and will have a years MOT :)

If i don't sell then it'll get the front end resprayed, rear bumper resprayed and probably smooth off the rear wiper and get the tailgate resprayed. Wheels refurbed and the interior replaced or retrimmed as the drivers bolster has wear on it, has no holes mind you but it's annoying me. Still loving having no rust though and hopefully keep it that way :)

I say keep it! :) Hope all goes well for you..

Dunno, had someone look at it today so see whether he wants it or not later. Comes down to insurance for him, he's gonna let me know later.

Need to get air in the space saver

Came to the decision to definitely sell the car. I'll pay a subscription here on thursday and it'll be advertised properly :( It'll go to waste on my drive so no point leaving it with no use.

Car is now sold, went tonight :( Missing it already! :(
