    guess what i just bought!!

    been wanting a beemer for a while and after selling my corsa friday i thought i was in for a long wait to find a decent one at a good price!! this one for £475 is a bargain as i dont mind getting stuck into a project and making the car my own. what ya think?

    thinking it could just be a 325i as the front bumper is not a tech2 , unless its been replaced at some point

    You need to check the details a proper sport should be registered as a sport, as the car is sorn I couldn't check it online.

    As long as you're happy with it for that money although personally I think it is a bit exspensive for what is essentially 'just' a 325i. If it was me I would have just told him I didn't want it because it was mis advertised and then looked on trader for one in running order.

    BMWs mostly..
    Still worth £475 as long as you dont spend a fortune making it road-worthy.

    Yeah true enough, but I just really hate people that mis advertise stuff.

    ive emailed him some questions about the car and so far he hasnt answered, starting to make me a bit suspiscious now. they were simple questions that any genuine owner would be happy to answer, i know when i sold my corsa recently i answered every question truthfully and promptly.

    well so far i havent had any reply about why he says he bought it 6 months ago but the last owner changed hands 2 months ago, to be honest i dont think il even be going to look at it now. just getting more and more doubts about it.

    Always trust your gut mate, I always do and every time I end up with a 1/2 pounder with cheese and chips lmao lmao. Seriously though mate I wouldn't bother, its not the car its supposed to be and you have other worries as well, don't sound worth it to me.
