Will be sold with either
- MV2's as pictured; average condition ... or...
- MV1's that are in average condition

and
- Style 45's; good condition, with Firestone WinterHawk Winter tyres, with approx 50% thread

Exterior is good condition, probably better than good to be fair, but Im picky!! Two very small car park dings, that would be quite easy job for a PDR person, and minor marks on each of the bumpers.
Interior is in very good condition, with the only real signs of the mileage starting to become apparent on the steering wheel, seats are perfect.

RE: E46 Touring - 318i

Car was given a few hours attention today, and gotten to a respectable enough state to take pictures of it!!
Original post updated with pictures, and thread cleaned up!

Would like to see this going to a good home; if it had a 6 cylinder engine, it wouldnt be going anywhere!

RE: E46 Touring - 318i

What a great ad and a very well looked after car.

That shouldn't hang around long.

RE: E46 Touring - 318i

Thanks - the ad was a bit poor when I posted it first - due to the lack of good pictures. But hadnt the chance to give it the clean and get pictures that do the car justice.

Hopefully it wont hang around too long, but its been almost a week - would be long gone if it was an E36 Touring! :P

RE: E46 Touring - 318i

Sitting on the style 45s with Winter Tyres at the minute!

Was thinking the perhaps Healy had to do a slight de-tour, as he had it at that time to do a bit of work as part of the sale agreement! :)

No probs Dave. Glad to help out where I can. He didn't have a huge budget to start with and to be fair it was a whole load of car for the money. Glad to read you both managed to strike a deal - I ain't heard from him yet the git :D

Get cracking on a new thread for it's replacement.
