Tthe 325 badge isn't in the right place! That would put me right off.

Can you tell my tongues in my cheek? 

"You are bidding on very unusual 1988 BMW 318i"

AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRH!

quotes " The reason for sale is I am after calibra, so if you have calibra email me" "I just want a nice looking car like calibra."

So why didn't he but a ****ing calibra!

Instead of ****ing up an E30!

p.s. it's had 15 bids, and is up to 105 - but reserve not met

Cats know your every thought.

But don't care.

I presume the 105 quid includes the white Honda parked next to it?

Thing is, the guy says it has had a full engine rebuild, so taking that into account, how much would a 318i in decent nick fetch these days? More than 100 quid I'd wager. Why do people stick tonnes of crap on a good car to make it bad, then expect people to pay a premium for it?

Swapping an E30 for a calibra - says it all really.

note to seller

keep the colour, get rid of the boot spoiler, debadge it, cut the tailpipes a bit shorter, change the wheels, paint the drums and calipers black, redo the window tints in a less extreme darkness, get rid of the fake stick on cossie bonnet vents and the horrible rear lights (maybe replace with slightly tinted standard ones), put the interior back to normal colours with normal floor mats and you'll probably have a better chance of selling it

   I was not going to look at the ebay add at first now I wish I had not. He says it needs a bit of TLC to make it perfect!!!! I dont think his eyes and brain are linked. Perhaps we should club together and save the poor car.

Too late for that Ron  perhaps we should just club together to give it a decent burial

Probably better off spraying it all black, then showing it against a coalface at night - before running over it with a very large dumper truck

the only way it would go like a 325 is if you pushed it off a cliff... who knows, with that wing it might even fly!
