Would sell no problem if it's in good condition, @[DaveG] would know better than most the value of them I'd say!Quote:

It was my own dad scratching my m3 that was the catalyst for me to do a full respray. So if I set up a justgiving page will everyone on here pay for it??
Well, Richard Branson was asked once if he had a get rich quick formula and his reply was to ask everyone you know for a fiver!

Right, so looking at 2013 or 2014 318d and 320d as a daily driver...will be putting about 15k miles a year on it.
Have seen a few around the €30k mark with about 30k miles on them.
Anyone know what i need to look out for? Given that it'll likely have a 2 year warranty. Are timing chain issues still a thing on these cars? Any pointers greatly received...i only know about old bangers
Any particular reason for that choice of engine or for a three series? Presume it will be a more door?Quote:

5 series ?
Audi A3 /A4 /A6 saloon?

Something along the lines of this:
EDIT, forgot you mentioned auto :)

With less mileage if it was me, but you get the idea :)

Thats a good point about the petrol engines. The usual commute will be an hour or more, twice a day, so at present the petrol bill (with a 2.0 litre petrol) is getting annoying.
Needs to be a BMW, Audi, Merc etc, must have leather, be an M Sport, S Line, AMG trim, that kind of thing, and auto preferred. Big ask i know
Something like this but an auto would be ideal

BMW have replace a ton of them already but not on a recall Mrs46 car has had 2 replacements the first being a unmodified version
I noticed the first nock at about 15k miles and they replaced it
The second rack lasted about 12k miles I had a big struggle to get it replaced again BMW had a process to check the car on the lift that showed no fault I had to take the head mechanic for a run to convince him.
The current rack is a modified version and has been 100% for 16k miles fitted mid 2014 cheers gav
Nct still as inconsistent as ever failed on tints last month passed on the same this month at a different test centre
Frustrating. Glad you're sorted anyway.Quote:

Simply bonkers the money cars sold for! :surprised:
Any Polish guys on here?
How long does it normally take a 'Priority postal parcel' with Poczta Polska to come?
No updates to tracking since it left Poland.
A pal attending the show asked my guesstimate for the e36, I went for £11-13k. He didint buy it
Rang a fairly well known Dublin dealer earlier about a car (with an N47 engine)...asked if the timing chain had been replaced and was told it would only need to be replaced if it broke. The guy wouldn't check if it had been done or not.
How some people get in to that line of work is beyond me
So following on from the above..looking at another N47 powered econo box..is the 'recall' from BMW still being done on these. It would be a 2 year old car, but they have potential to go wrong at any stage right?
Are these X3 wheels, I know they need a refurb but more or less giving them away!
http://www.adverts.ie/9291133
Style 89 E46 wheels me thinks
+1. Most often seen back in the day on pre-facelift 330's, both petrol and diesel.Quote:
