Mileage is a bit high, but he has service history so I'm not that fussed. Said I can take it for a test drive too, so was pleased about that. Few years older than mine but not really fussed as I've always had a passion for the car.

And the car is a........BMW E36 318 iS.

So few people on here had/have bmw's no doubt someone has had one or similar of these, what to look out for?

I paid 1k for a e36 328i with 120k on the clock, all mtec stuff in very good condition.

I'd say way way over priced for the mileage.

daymoon: intake pipe has been replaced.

I'm not paying a penny for it. Straight swap with my W reg polo which is on 107k.

mwg: why's that?

you wanted Ł1500 for your newer car which has done less miles.

and you're willing to swap for a car with almost twice the milage and older, which he wants less than 1k for?

mum has a e36 323 with all the Mtec package, M3 bumpers, exhaust etc and she paid 1500 for it with 89k.

207k is fucking stupid mileage

That looks an absolute dog.

However, you won't end up swapping anyway!

Massively overpriced.

Look here for a lot of better/cheaper examples:

i like his reason for selling the mx5

"Gutted i'm selling this, I got it for my missus but we have decided she needs something slightly bigger, so it's for sale."

and he is selling the BMW for

" my missus has decided she wants to learn to drive (again!) so this needs to go for a smaller car,"

maybe me but i've only ever bought 100% original cars from reputable owners, i don't trust the internet

Have they? It says in the original post he'd do it for an extra Ł150, but hasn't updated anywhere stating that he's done them.
