It just looks like a regular 318i SE with the (rare) factory option sport seats and later E46 ES spec alloys added TBH.... Fairly decenct spec, low mileage with full history at a good price. If it checks out OK then go for it ! ------------- E34 Pilot - Keeping it Old School on Irish Roads.

Going by the reg, this could be a fairly early UK import. As Ballcock suggests, it looks like an SE (although the big 4 spoke wheel is unusual on the early e46). Otherwise the spec is good, as Ballcock points out, the seats are optional sport items, it has climate control, etc. The wheels are from a much later ES spec model. The Sea Green colour wouldn't be the most popular colour on these but that seems to be reflected in the price. ------------- Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

Well Lads , After some hesitation I picked the car up today. All seems to be in order but After an hour the engine mgmt light came on . I rang the dealer immediately and he said it was a wrong fuse ??? he said bring it back on monday and he can fix easily ?? Car seems to be running fine and all instruments seem to be working fine ! thank god for Air-con ! Car has 1 owner since new and dealer said it was a belguim import. Greg , think i seen your 530d during the week , was it black ? has the dealer reg frame ?

Jeez, after my comment I hope they'll look after you! No, mine is a 00D 530D touring, terracotta red, with that dealer's plate carrier. This is actually my first post here. I have been a member of Bimmerboard for a couple of years and do most work on the car myself. I just found this site and look fwd to getting stuck in! Greg. ------------- E39 530D Auto Touring |
