I thought it was stamped up to 50k a few years back then no more? if that's just an missing stamp that's great.
Sounds a brilliant buy for that price. Bet the dealer was happy to see it go. Does it need much bodywork doing? I never ended up seeing it as the dealer out me off over phone! |

I'm going to send it in for an Inspection 2 service anyway even though it's due an oil service next, piece of mind knowing that it has fresh fluids everywhere. I've dealt with the dealer before when I bought my e46 m3 cabby from him, I managed to knock a fair bit off that too, that car only had 26k miles on it, nothing wrong with it although some of the cars he sells are scrap. Body work is fine, it could do with a bumper re paint but the rest is fine, i'll be re painting the whole thing at some point, only because I have OCD's. work that needs doing as follows new splitters (currently wrapped with vinyl) not sure on condition underneath seat bolster needs be re trimmed steering wheel needs to be re trimmed (Royal steering wheel) top and bottom steering wheel parts needs refresh, will order new from bmw. wheels need a refurb, will buy new tires too Inspection 2 service |

Good work. Glad to hear that someone picked it up. These cars are getting on an bit now and I think some people have unrealistic expectations of what to expect from a ~12/13 year old car. Getting all sniffy over a ripped bolster and patchy history is bonkers if the car is fundamentally sound and can be had for the right price. A bit of elbow grease and she'll be right.
The best thing about having a shaggy dog rather than a garage queen is you won't be scared to use it. Last edited by GregorFuk; 08-04-2015 at 02:54 PM. |

the car isn't pristine but I knew that when I bought it.. total cost of bringing it back up to where it should be will be around 4k, that's including a re spray. Now someone find me a mint csl for £24k! |
