I have a 98 plate 2.8i manual, I have only just bought it and started doing it up to get it perfect, the seats have been redone and I shoudl get my new M-Sport steering wheel from Royals tomorrow, so interior sorted.
Have also fitted a nice subtle Pioneer head unit fitted, bluetooth unit which will also accept hardwired via a usb in the glovebox either ipod/iphone or android fitted, Focal speakers also fitted up front.
It matches the BMW amber and dot matrix display perfectly.
The car has been serviced pretty much on the dot every year at a mix of BMW dealers and Indis, the last service was at BMW last spring and the amber light has just come on again, so I will take it for a service service before it is sold.
It was MOT'd last month and had 6 months tax put on it.
The engine is very nice, sounds like a sewing machine when you lift the hood, it pulls very well and generally feels strong.
The body work is not the best, don't get me wrong when it is polished up it still looks great, but when you start to inspect it, the boot needs a spray, the two rear wings could both do with a spray, and a small patch under the drivers door handle.
I have been quoted £500 to have the bonnet, wings and doors sprayed. I only really got a quote as I thought I would need to do this to sell it, however.....
This car owes me £1680, I am offering it on here for that price, as it is now.
Someone who is happy to drive it around as it is, or even do the wings themselves and then get the bonnet done for £200 could be in a really nice 2.8 with 80k on it for under £2k.
If I get it sprayed I will then stick it up on autotrader for £3000.
But if someone wants to take over this project £1680 is what I am up to on this so far and that is what I would take.
Oh, MOT said brakes have plenty of life left and tyres are Michelin Pilot Primacy all round, 3 have around 4-5mm and one has around 3mm so that one would need replacing at some point, I think I may even have one in the same size from when I had our old C220cdi estate, I will have to look.
There is a genuine BMW wind deflector and tonnaeu cover with it as well, and this has the OBC fitted.
