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" Your not joking mate! ------------- 2000 e39 523i with full factory sport kit. 1989 e30 325i Convertible 1999 Golf GTI 1.8T |

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. ------------- 1987 BMW 525e Lux Auto (sadly deceased) http://www.getfirefox.com - Get Firefox - Ditch Hopeless Inertnet Exploder http://www.doive.co.uk - www.doive.co.uk

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 ------------- 2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Titanium X Auto 1983 Ford Sierra XR4i 2000 Alpina B10 3.3 #118 1999 BMW 323Ci 1995 BMW 318i SE 1994 Vauxhall Omega 2.0 GLS 1995 Ford Mondeo 1.8 LX 1990 Honda Concerto 1.6 EX 1986 Ford Orion 1.6 GL 1989 Ford Fiesta 1.1 Firefly |

Hey peeps, do you think that modifying e30s is a big no no? I agree, that looks pretty crap, but its not all bad surely? I'm only saying that because my car has the full Reiger GTS bodykit on it (even the side skirts!) and I wouldnt wanna be slated if i was to roll up to one of the registers meets. The problem is, you can never please every body! I still cant understand why someone would choose to do their ironing on the back of their car though!!! |

...well... think it speaks for itself really... "The reserve is 850 and i might lower it a bit more, as i already bought another car and i need to get rid." He needs to get rid... probably damaged his street cred - that is if he had any - if he didnt, after that he will never get any... And those rear lights... its just too much...think burial is a good idea... The Duke |

thanks. Considering I'm only 20, i dont think Ive done too badly. Its hard not to modify it OTT, because most of my mates own stupidly done up cars. Its only taken 2 years, one engine, one interior, one new bodykit to replace the old one, one respray and over three times the amount payed for it in the first place. Nearly there though eh!

You haven't son, you haven't. In fact, I think you're wise beyond your years. Funny thing is, back in 1977 when I was your age  OTT body mods were all the rage then too.

C'mon people help this guy out.. He's after some money for Uni right?
