Tell me more about the BM, what age?

Ta Chris

 

Probs too old for ya Chris mate it's on a 1998 S plate.Will post pics tomorrow.SLIGHT paint loss on bumpers but otherwisemint exterior.Drivers seat does have a hole in though.

 

did you swap the astra 4 it?? personally i would have said the astra was the better selling car?

wayne,

 

I did Wayne mate.BMs much nicer.NOT a Scooby tho,lol

 

IMO tthe astra would have been the easier seller of the 2? its just cos its near chrimbo that you still had it.. im still stuck with mine at the minute even tho it cheap?

just the way the market is at the minute
but if your happy and feel your getting closer to a scooby then thats all that matters

 

Just have to keep trying buddy.

For anybody thats interested heres the BMW pics.As you can see it needs cleaning and the little bit of paint sorting on the bumper trim which I will get sorted if I have time.

 

^^^^

 

 

Car is now mint,trim on bumpers has been resprayed.

 

is that an MDF splitter attached to the front bumper? lol

tbh mate, get rid of all the decals and M badges,the silly splitter, respray the trim satin black and give it a good polish and a wax..youll have more luck in finding a swap then!

 

It IS MDF mate how did you guess??The decals have gone,why should the M badges go when its an M sport?Trim is refinished in silver and I aint polshing it in the ferkin rain for anybody!

 

fair enough mate, but at the end of the day your trying to swap an abortion for someones Scoob, so may be worth listening to the advice from Subaru owners as per the advice for the astra, again with silly spoilers!

 

your not gonna swap your scooby for it trinity are you?? cause you are one of thousands and what you think cars should look like is not what everyone else thinks, give the guy a break, i honestly dont know why anyone would jump on a thread giving nothing but negative remarks and comments.
if you have nothing nice to say??

 

Nicely said Fifer mate.FYI Trinity I have already owned 2 subarus AND have swapped both due to being bored with them NOT to make a profit out of someone BUT to actually enable the other person to experience ownership of such a nice car!!The boredom never lasts long and I want another Subaru again.AS SAID ABOVE YOU might think its an abortion but then again people might think YOUR CAR is an abortion.I am NOT the kind of person that puts others OR their vehicles down but obviously you get some kind of kick out of it.Do me a favour mate and Pi** off and do it somewhere else please!If you have nothing nice to say,say NOTHING! Cheers mate.

 

Some fresh pics of the work done may help, not the weather for it but also polish. Have you tried to sell and not swop, plenty of free sites and papers to use.

 

Yeh,thanks for your input buddy.Its nice to actually have someone on here thats genuinely trying to help me out.
What im gonna do is get the car 100% sorted(well,98%,theres a hole in the drivers seat that I cant fix) then get some pics up.Its had a really good outside clean by this ALL FEMALE valeting company called "PRISTINE AUTO CLEAN" from Hull yesterday and its looking VERY NICE.The new pics will be up around the end of the week I should think depending on the weather as scene as SNOW is forecast.
Thanks again for your genuine,friendly input scooby1doo1 matey.

 

BTTT

 

id stick it up for sale on www.pistonheads.com Mate everything ive tried to sell has sold via that alone, and if not ebay. although it may be a struggle to get the money you want this time of year as every ones watchin the pennies coming up to xmas.

 

Yeh true,never been on Piston heads tho,I will keep it if I dont get my Scooby Martin mate.Thanks for the input tho buddy.

 

Been on swapz hoping to swap my R6 for a scooby and there is someone on there wanting a bmw E46 whatever that is.....might be worth mailing him an offer of yours through and see what happens.

Al

 

E46 is the last model of the 3 series. What is for swaps here is an E36 compact.
HTH

 

Cheers for mentioning that Al and thanks for telling us what the model is Matt.
Car now FOR SALE at a SILLY BARGAIN price of £1500 or Nearest SENSIBLE offer,thats before the idiots start with offers of push bikes, lol.

 

BT, in my opinion and its only mine; but i have owned a fair few BM's and the compact model you have needs to be as much standard looking as possible to sell. Even though it shares the same wheel base as the E36, albeit shorter its mechanicaly different. It uses the E30 live rear axle and different suspension set ups, so is not really what people look for in an E36. But the beauty of it is, is that women love them as they are easier to run around in due to the COMPACT size of them and they are cheaper insurance grouping. But you really need to get it back to standard to attract the type of person (limited) who are after one. Your car has the proven on road and track 1900cc 16 valve engine, E30 M3 origin live rear axle, Bullet proof reliability and build quality ETC...HTH and good luck.

 

Lose the stickers and tat mate and stick new photos up It isn't a bad car but it looks like it could be with that lot on it.

Sorry if that sounds harsh but I wouldn't go near a car looking like that, if it looked standard I'd look at it for my wife

 

Webby & Paulo tnx for your input.The car is at the minute having the stickers and the Ironing board(Front splitter)removed.New pics will HOPEFULLY(snow permitting) be up
at the weekend.

 

It'll look so much better with all of that removed
