Calling all east rand members...

Does anyone know anything about this car firstly, and secondly, is there anyone in the area who wouldn't mind going to have a look at the car for me please? I'm in Cape Town so it will be a bit of drive.

Far too cheap :fencelook:

I know, but I want to turn it into a track car so not too worried about cosmetics, just motor.

Jeez that's cheap... Just a little more than what I got my 530d for

I'm hoping it's cheap due to cosmetic damage.

That is very cheap yoh... if the guy can meet me at eastrand mall tonight, i will have a look at it for you.

Things to check:
VANOS rattle - ~R30k to fix
oil leaks
That mileage seems suspect to me, it needs to be confirmed. I can almost guarantee that it had a haircut. :fencelook:
brakes - discs and pads ~R24k for new discs and pads all round.
tyres
worn bushes
clutch
and the list can get very long very quickly.
Why does it have those hideous lights in the front if it was never in an accident? :thinking:
Be very careful when buying one of these.
Did I mention possibility of main bearings? :dropjaw: If this model was not looked after and did not have the TWS oil at any point, the main bearings could be shot.
just saying...
Do your homework.
Get the reg and PM it to Coisman.

:fencelook: 24k for disks and pads? yoh!!!
