something doesnt look right here...

Well its not a bad price and looks in reasonably good order....and I would have thought that an engine swap would have had a BMW audit trail somewhere...?

Not sure about the mobile mechanic bit but lets not get too precious, its just a 3-series platform when alls said and done, more common than a Ford Mondeo is it not?

:fuelfire:
 
I had a 13 month old car written off when I drove through a deep puddle, got to much of a bow wave and hydraulic'd the engine. :oops:

Still ran, as I bought it back of the ins company and the guy delivering it drove it off the truck.

Believe it or not I saw a 57 plate coupe I was interested in with much worse 108's than this corroded, chipped, kerbed, all gone!
 
I've had cars in the past with some chips...and I know the day will come when I kerb my zed...but i would't have believed you could get any worse than this!

That said I saw a guy last year in a VOlvo estate hit the kerb on full lock - he couldn't go further forward and started to turn out of it while stationary :o Not a pretty sight/noise!
 
How deep does water have to be to induct water and what else would have been given a delayed, watery kiss of death? I'd be concerned given the delicacy of all the chips, modules and motorised units. Besides the other condition issues and cat D status it's not even close tempting in my book :thumbsdown:

Not only would someone have to drive through a puddle about 50-75 CM deep. They would have to be in that puddle long enough suck in enough water to first fill in the low spots in the air filter box. Then fill the cylinder past it's TDC volume. As I recall the Zed air box is pretty deep and might take 3L to fill. So I highly doubt that driving through a puddle would do it. Unless the puddle was called the Thames. However. Driving across a flooded road might do the trick.
