This Was Meant To Be

[Cape_Tonian]

The true meaning of the phrase, "meant to be".

So my neighbour asks me last November to advertise his 1997 316i Auto 194K km sedan on Gumtree.

I do exactly that but also thinking by myself, "I hope you don't get a buyer".

Surprisingly, not even 1 inquiry about this clean car. Life goes on and I completely forgot about this car.

I meet him in the road 2 weeks ago and I ask him about the car, honestly just checking without any real interest.

With the selling price he gave me there and then, I just had to... Took ownership of this immaculate vehicle the very same day. :joy:

I had a boot spoiler lying around and side skirts that came off my vert and fitted these in the mean time, but 1st I had to fit a new set of rims.

17'' Hartge reps fitted.

The mobile Pics are not the best but here we go.

Thanks guys. It was the steal of the century. I'll fill you guys in at a later stage.

Won't be lowering this one buddy, the missus is driving this one.

She don't want to see me behind the wheel of this car, must be a woman thing. :biglol:
