With that mileage it will still be OK. What can you get it for? Are you going to run it or just flip it?
Flip it as I need the money.

That was the later E90. The 2005-2007 N46 was borderline shit, the 2007 in N43 2.0 is so bad as to be unfit for purpose. Probably the most unreliable 4 cylinder engine ever made.

You want to be stealing it then. A four door 320i auto is just not desirable. Maybe out it for £1295.

I was referring to the 4 cylinde engines, sorry.

I think it'll do £2k, but it'll be hard graft getting past the idiots wanting to knock you down.

It might do 2 bags. E46's are still in scum territory but you could be lucky.

You'd be surprised at the number of cum guzzling fuckwits I had to deal with selling my E61 4.4V8.

Asian Chancer, "I'm travelling from Bradford and your BMW isn't very economical, will you knock a grand off?"

WTC, "No, if you can't handle the fuel economy buy a 520D."

Asian Chancer, "A 520D would cost me two grand more to buy."

WTC, "Two grand buys you a lot of petrol."

In the end I bit the hand off a Russian guy who bought it for £2500 to drive back to Moscow. I wonder if it made it? It's second autobox was begining to start clunking at 193,000 miles.

This is still hanging around taking up space.

We treated it to a jump start for the first time in months and it went first turn of the key.

After a quick run I can say that it does drive like new. The gearbox seems lazy compared to the DSG box in my Ioniq and the heated seats take ages to warm up. I must say that the engine is super silent and completely free of any rattles, VANOS or otherwise. The steering does seem quite heavy for a PAS system but the old thing does handle superbly.
As it's been parked under a tree it needs a total valet which will be sorted soon. It is a shame that the alloys need a refurb at such a low mileage and a scratch on the NSR quarter has been badly touched up.
