This guy claims that mileage is original..

If you look at those seats you can see it is impossible to have that sort of mileage...

What you guys think?

I say the car is sitting in atleast 250 000km

Thats billybawbs car Apparently stood for a long while as well, could have resulted in sun damage to the leather which would have exasperated further damage.

 

[Kobus328i]

:yuck: I also think there is something not right here, unless he loved to get in and out of the car more than drving it.

 

[Rolf]

wear tells you that the milage is fake

 

[ryanetz]

and the condition of those door panels... wtf..

even if you look at the drivers seat on the left.... way too much damage for that mileage...

 

[L~C~G]

For the price it doesnt really matter if its done 250000kms.

If the body and paint is as clean as he says then its probably a fair price.

I like this cabbie, he will probably accept late R70's for the car, its a VERY popular colour combo, have that interior recovered, the bolsters still look good, have it professionally polished and you could have a R120- R130k E36 M3.

 

[FaSTandFurious]

That interior is shot man

Well, the seats took alot of wear, the body and engine seems to be in good nick. Apart from test driving the car, best is have the car evaluated at AA or something. Maybe the seats are just badly worn for being neglected and the mileage might be real. Difficult to really judge from pics!!!

:nonono:How easy is it to manipulate the mileage on our cars? This is not the first that we spotted with questionable mileage here!

 

[Doomsdaya]

Didn't he buy this car recently ? & now he wants to sell it

 

[ASH M]

:nonono: Something ain't right with this one.

 

[rick540]

He spent a heap of cash on it very fast, so I think he did what I did, overspend.

I would be interested to hear what was done to it, the price is not bad at all even with the interior like that.

+1
I saw it earlier this morning and it didn't feel right. The mileage, the price, the interior... just doesn't make sense

well seeing as billybawb did not post it up on the forum for sale it says alot... he probably found too may things to fix on it or a big nasty problem...

If anyone is interested in it i would PM billybawb and ask him about it the price is not bad i think...

 

[ClassicB]

Price seems fair for the condition.

Also based on how members ridicule members cars, i also don't think i would advertise any of my cars on here.

To be honest I don't blame him one bit for not advertising it here. he was really excited when he first got it and to become a member of the BMW club, and everything he tried to do or discuss on the forum the guys tore to shreds, everybody gave him such a hard time it's probably put him off BMW for life.

I think you guys are just finishing the BMW experience off nicely for him with the comments in this thread.

We need to learn to be a little more supportive of new members and rather try provide some constructive help as opposed to just shoving our own views on them.

well in part i dont really want him to find a buyer i like his input on the forum :fencelook: i also really like the car and would seriously look at buying it if i was looking for one...

i dont know how much of your comment is aimed at me but i always try give fair helpful comments... if you feel i victimized billybob please tell me where as that was not my intention and i would like to correct it...

 

[L~C~G]

Im sure he was probably not fully aware of the maintenance costs of that car and how much needed to be done. He has probably been forced to sell and let someone else try and get her right.

+ 1000

Bob is a valuable contributor to the forum.... I would rather like to see him keep the car.
