Well it definitely has a dodgy interior. Looks suspiciously like a Golf! I'm guessing its a regular 318i rather than iS and the body kit has the look of an aftermarket example. Worth checking if the wheels are reps. Obviously depends on what its like in the flesh but for €3k is needs to be a very tidy car. ------------- Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

Looks like the wrong photo was submitted for the interior shot. Definetly not orginal wheels. Looks ropey, definetly not worth 3k, maybe €800. -------------

Didn't even flick though the pics, when I saw the reg I thought someone might know it, hence the post. Doesn't bode well if they put in a VW interior shot though. @BP - I had emailed him the link to your site for reference info as a starter for him so he wasn't going in blind. Thanks for the feedback - anyone know of a proper 318is going locally, could send him the info ------------- Martin In BMW exile at the moment (Shame on me for lurking!!!)

Just so I am clear in my head - are these the two engines from the 318? BP - maybe you have a better image of the 8V somewhere - BTW I did link to one off you site. 8V M40  16V M42   ------------- Martin In BMW exile at the moment (Shame on me for lurking!!!)
