Good day to all

Okay maybe i have to much time on my hands but i would like some help on this one and you guys would know if i ammaking a dumb mistake to do it or not to do it.

I have the following car Bmw 318i E46 2004 facelift model. Immaculate condition sec owner car have 130000km full service history accident free and the usual as all the other bmw. I did recently replace 4 new tyres rear schocks and lower control arm bushes. Car was service 4500km ago.

Now here comes the problem. I went to look at the car yesterday and the guy se we could talk about a swap.

Its a Bmw 2005 E46 320i motorsport 137000km but no service history the car got a few problems. Oil sweat at filter housing a few scratches on the body frond windscreen cracked right hand side light on indicator lights on dash board is on so light problem and 4 new tyres. The guy say he is second owner is there a way to check up history i got the vin number

Thanks for reading

Why would the guy want to swap a 325i motorsport for an older 318i...

Think about it... The car is obviously messed up and will probably cost you a lot to fix.

rather spend the money to do the conversion on your car, or get a motorsport with full history. Just my 2c but ultimately you will make a decision (holding thumbs that it's a good one for you)

Chat to Twinz, Moranor, Shaun or Burgy. I'm sure they can help with some mods or cosmetics if that's what you want to do.:thumbs:

Not a 325i but rather a 320i? As stated in the first post???

Not a good colour in my opinion. Keep your silver 318i...does both cars have the same 2.0L engine??

I believe the 318i facelift comes with 2.0L and the 320i facelift is a 2.2L:fencelook:

4 cylinder vs V6 also...

I don't think is worth the risk, rather keep your car:thumbs:

Bud, keep your car.....you know its history and what was repaired....buying someone else's problem will make you regret that decision maybe not soon but later on.
Maybe add the extras on.
