Hi guys

Who lives Close to Brixton Auto in JHB??
Newlands i think.

Or who has gone to see a car by them Before??

What is your take on the cars they sell??
Im interested in buying an 325is from them

Since guys in JHB are Converting allot of Shadowlines to 325is's, im abit Worried.

Who will be able to go and look at a car for me???
I will sort you out with Fuel money for your time

I've been there and had a look at the white 325is and red E46 M3 they had for sale there as well as a 325 with an engine from a 535.

The white 325is was a stolen and recovered, and needed a lot of work. both interior and exterior.
i was not to comfortable with the fact that the car was a stolen & recovered.

in the case of the red E46 M, it simply had too little information in terms of it's maintenance history...and I believe thats asking for trouble.

The 325 with the engine transplant, well when i went to go and look at it, it didnt even startup...so yes thats my experience with them so far.

It does look rough in the pics, and the price i personally feel is too high (75k)
but was going to negotiate a deal IF it checked out

That looks like the one I looked at. Also got told 75K
on the bright side, it would make a great project car.

I know yes...
but would prefer Paying little less

but you Checked it out, is it a genuine IS??
is everything else in order other than the Interior and Exterior needing work and the S&R status??
Does it start and Drive?
Motor sounds good??

They are negotiable on the price so who knows.

They are negotiable on the price so who knows.

When I went and looked at it, they were in the process of changing the clutch so it never started up.
the fact that it was stolen and recovered was a deal breaker for me.
