    tell us the worst car you ever owned

    I thought when I wrote rear ended it wasn't the wisest choice of words!

    tell us the worst car you ever owned

    Worst car for me was a 1981 MK3 Escort XR3 which if it was a good one probably would have been a decent car. Bought from my father, he had been rear ended in it which also pushed the front end into the car in front. Insurance company decided to repair. He also had the engine reconditioned. When...

    What have you done to your E89 today

    Fitted 4 new Kumho Ecsta ps72's and ditched the runflats. £380 fitted so not too bad.

    Potential blocked air con drain

    Not had time to check yet as only bought it yesterday, we've not had any rain for a while so suspect aircon drain. i fear you are right about the drain being disconnected or leaking. Sounds like a pig of a job.

    Potential blocked air con drain

    Hi all, not been here for a while, purchased an E89 28i yesterday and the first problem has reared it head. Damp in the passenger footwell I think possibly because the HVAC unit drain is blocked. Has anyone else had this. There are a few old posts but no definitive solution.

    It came from Stratstone BMW Derby 8 month ago and cost £17K. At this rate these will be in air cooled 911 territory in 2 years. Beginning to think I should have kept it a while and borrowed the money for my 911.

    Advert went on Pistonheads on Thursday night and Sytners buyer was ringing me at 07:30 Friday morning. Made a silly offer which I rejected then rang me back 20 mins later with the offer I accepted. The thing they were interested in was the low mileage and the fact that is was a BMW AUC 8 months...

    When Sytner made the offer I knew it was a guaranteed sale with no messing. That does count for a fair bit in my book as I hate selling cars. It also means I can go looking for my 911 with cash and no trade in. Interestingly I thought I would by a 911 private and cut out the middle man, but...

    I don't know your mileage but I reckon you could expect more with the spec of your car. I priced my car to sell, bearing in mind the only extras were heated seats and that service insp II was next. Plus I paid £17K for it with a BMW warranty so I've had the pleasure of running it for 8 months...

    No No, I might as well spill the beans to avoid confusion and theres no reason for it to be secret. I got £16250.

    They gave me very nearly £4K more than the CAP value. Little jobs to do would be things like sorting out the numerous rattles which could easily put off a private buyer.

    Yep, thats my car, still sat on my drive until Monday when they pick it up. To be honest, I was happy with what they gave me for it and if they can sell it at that price good look to them and everyone else that owns one. I don't think I would have had too many takers if I'd tried to sell it at...

    Darren, you assume correctly, somewhere between £16k and asking price. I am happy with what I got bearing in mind I paid £17K and service inspection II was looming next. Sad to see it go, I'm not sure the 911 will be any better but it's just something I have to do. I am certain given the...

    No, they made me an offer I couldn't realistically refuse.
