Price is €10,995 ONO


There was an alternator changed at one point as well, but I forgot to record that at the time. The old alternator was fully functional but was whining so it was replaced. Most recently, I replaced the two front top mounts as they had begun to creak a little.


There was also some minor bodywork carried out by Davy Pickard Paintworks in Westside Business Park during the first year. It was purely cosmetic to repair a stone chipped front bumper and some wear on the corners of the bumpers from poor attempts at parking by the previous owner. The paintwork was maintained since by Larry in CleanCar.ie and was recently painted again to repair a stone chipped bonnet, wings, and front bumper. Photos of this can be provided for verification.


The car has been raised 25mm front and rear since the photos were taken.

The only real negatives on the car at the minute is some slight wear on the driver's seat base and I would consider the wheels in need of refurbishment.

Price is negotiable but I won't entertain time wasters or low ball offers. Anyone interested in the car can read the build thread and will appreciate that this isn't a typical 320D. It's a pristine example with full history and is an honest car. I'm in no rush to sell, so I'd rather wait for the right buyer. It comes with two keys, original boot lid, original and different LED tail lights. As it says above, I'm willing to negotiate with the right buyer. I'd much rather this went to a good home for under asking to someone who would ruin it for the whole amount advertised.


Any interest can be sent via PM, e-mail to paddy(at)pmcgphotos(dot)com or on 0871311404 (texts preferred)


Thanks for your time.
