sidrick Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Lovely car, once you go BMW you won't look back. If it's anything like the E46 then it's a joy to drive. What's the mileage and service history? If it's been looked after you won't have many worries, the engines are bulletproof. Only recently saw your crash pictures too, glad you survived. Aye, I've had a good few of these. Mileage is circa 120k, so it's just run in, haha. Service history is full up until about 20k ago. Cheers, pretty glad I survived too!

I think that's the same colour, but I've yet to see mine in the light! Clears all round are a must! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escort4x4 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Nice motor fella and yeh few m3 options added will make it look a treat, i like the alpina rims but i prefer the m3 evo rims,also i wudnt bother turbo'ing a 1.6 engine pure waste of time, i know insurance is a killer and is not on your side but if i could id drop a 2.5 engine in that and turbo it. My mate had the e36 m3 evo 3.2 and he spent a bomb twin turbo'ing that, wen he sold it it was pumping 870bhp and was a pure animal, in london the amount of people that have m3 reps wanna chase ya but dont realise what was under the bonnet, safe to say he ruined a set of tyres in less then 2 minutes smoking it up on the a406. Few lil tweaks to your car mate and it would be a very nice investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
