Hello everyone... Hoping to pick up my first BMW this evening... Just waiting for the confirmation from the garage that it's ready! 1996 323i Coupe, Silver, 134k, bodywork & interior in lovely condition Always wanted a BMW 3 series coupe... not had the money for it though lol... finally made the decision after my Ford Puma died and I found this one in really good condition for a decent price! I don't know much about BMWs... so sorry in advance if I ask a lot of dumb questions in the future. Just hoping the car doesn't fall apart on me once I'm away from the garage  Cheers, Derek |

Yo Dunc... I tried uploading a couple of pics... but it wouldn't let me... it let me upload to the gallery, but then when I tried to apply the pics to my gallery it just said "The previous file could not be placed. You have successfully placed all the files"... but there aren't any files when you look at the gallery... Derek |

Thanks for posting the pics Dunc!
I have a question relating to my insurance - does anyone know if those alloys are BMW/Standard/Upgrades/Non-BMW mod??? My insurance have told me that if they are non-BMW they won't be covered by the policy - which I assume means they won't pay out for damage to the alloys.... weird! |

i'm afraid they're definately not standard bmw ones, best check with your insurance that they know about them and they don't invalidate the policy even if they aren't covered nice car btw ------------- 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 |

Cool - thanks Stephen.
They said that they just wouldn't cover the alloys on the policy but the rest of the car was fine! I wonder how they work it out if you crash your car because of a wheel falling off lol.... an accident caused by a non-insured part on your car!!! |

that's a very good point... hypothetically speaking the uninsured wheel wouldn't have momentum to fall off and hit anything at speed without being moved by the insured car, wonder if that would stand up in court? ------------- 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 |
