Bought this over the weekend, nice well spec'd 318i M-sport touring with only 107,000 miles on it and 3 lady owners. With the Hilux potentially sold I was looking for something to replace it with and this has ample space. This week it shall have a full years test and drives very well with lots of receipts and service history to go with. It did not come with its original BMW Business radio so I shall look out for one to replace the hideous JVC unit, The LA wheel on the passenger side has a buckle so shall want this sorted.
It has a full black extended leather interior in excellent condition as are its genuine velour floor mats which have always been covered by all weather rubber mats.
PLANS :
A damn good cleaning, alloy wheel change or refurb of the LA's, needs a passenger side front fog as the current item is cracked however I have a good condition one there so that's sorted. I will most likely remove the dog guard and get it soda blasted and repainted so its nice and fresh.
The following parts shall be fitted over time :
New BMW Illuminated 5 speed leather gear knob
New BMW M3 front lip with BMW fittings
New rear trunk dampers
New Long Life Bosch spark plugs
New Oil filter
New fuel filter
New Air filter
New H&R spring kit (possibly, as it needs a rear spring fitted to pass NCT so shall decide over the next day or 2)
That shall be it for now, below is the VIN decoded and a couple of pics, hope you like and thanks for looking .
