I don't rush to buy a car, but I can't stop coming back to this : viewtopic.php?f=41&t=109178

Something tells me I won't find a better car for the money any time soon!
This doesn’t look like it needs anything spent on it, pick it up and enjoy it. As Mr Wilkes points out you wouldn’t really need warranty with this, bulletproof engine. Pastry only sold it to scratch his ar......M roady itch.... :P

Buy this, use and enjoy, move it on in a year if a 4 pot turbo becomes too much to resist for pure power reasons. :thumbsup:

Thanks all for the info!

Having looked I think a 30i is going to be a better option for me. The one I've linked to on this thread has everything and if I ha the extra cash I'd be on the first train, but for the moment I'll hold on until something similar comes along. Fully understand I may be quite a while.

My 2.2i e85 will be coming up for sale shortly
