Welcome to the forum.
Which model, E30, E36, E46, E90? (see here...)
The fact that the rad needs replacing will make it harder to sell and when you do you will need to drop the price slightly. Its an easy enough fix and the parts can be sourced cheap enough from the likes of GSF.

Least the lad's got taste

I've seen worse, over on a Skyline forum you should have seen the abuse one lad got for wanting to know how much the insurance would be on a provisional license. He'd already bought the car without checking lol

Shame you can't afford it, but if that's the case then running costs won't help either especially on the E30 models which are getting on a bit and are prone to the old tin worm.

I doubt the lads got a pic of his and wanted to show which model he had - easiest way is to find a pic of one.

yea well at first all was going well got the car and on my own inserance it was gonna cost some thing like3 times what i payed for the car lol but me and a mate shared the cost between us and with her licence inserance was a hella lot cheaper lol

but at the end of the day the way the cash is at the moment for both of us it just an expence  sad really specerly with me not being a fan of cars that much lol i get clostraphobic (or how ever ya spell it) in them and feel caged in but this beemer was nice i dident feel caged i felt more el natual in it i speacerly like the way the dash is set up so every thing is in reach of the driver it like a cockpit of a space ship lol i even gave her the pet name of the moleenium falcon since my nickname is moley lol (dont ask why)

Zimren's pics:







My advice for selling would be to give the car a good wash and take pics in the best light possible showing off the usual reflections, etc. This would help inspire confidence in people viewing the advert. As it stands, if you were to use these pics in an advert, I be surprised if anyone took a second .ook at them at all,

(don't take my advice the wrong way - I'm sure its a lovely car)

Looks like a 320i from the badge on the back. I had one in the same colour.

Mate, the guys on here are being very kind and trying to help you. I'm sure its a lovely car but as previously mentioned, clear daylight pictures will aide your cause immensely. Your initial thread mentions a 325 but the pic (nearly clearly) shows a 320i badge, these are hugely different cars and will in reflect the expected asking price.

Good luck with the sale.

That is a 320..or at the very least has a 320 TB (the 325 ones are bigger)...It is certainly NOT a 325 shell...

1100 for a 4 dr E30 320 is quite a lot...especially if it needs work.

Better photos, though, would mean we could see the condition a bit better.
