Hi all!
I have just bought a high mileage but quite cheap (£4000).
It needs few mechanical bits, but drove very nicely on the 100 mile return journey.
It has rust in the usual place on the rear arches where they meet the sill covers. My bodyshop asked me to supply two wings, but they are very rare, and BMW say NS is on backorder indefinitely. I may try and convince them to repair the rust.
In any case, the only other bits are wiper linkage and a window regulator, a rattly exhaust flap and a few oil leaks, Otherwise I'm pretty happy
I have an E46 330ci supercharged coupe but this is a different beast!
I'm a Mercedes mechanic by trade but have a bit of experience with the older bmws and especially the motorbikes.
