SteveR Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Can you get E46 BMs for £1500? Do you mean E36? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILKYSMOOTH Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Can you get E46 BMs for £1500? Do you mean E36? I guess i'll go to 2k for a reasonable E46 I won't DO E36's. Well the guy who bought my E46 got a bargain so I'm 'hoping' for the same in return. I will even consider going a bit higher for a mint E46 328i se Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not too fussed about performance, you could pick up a good Seat Ibiza SDI for that money. Will do 100mph, but will also give comfortably over 60mpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Why would you need 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILKYSMOOTH Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Why would you need 2? Well one is for me and the other is for my colleague. We decided today to put the other cars in storage every night rather than bringing them home everynight as someone tried to break in to the house last night and steal the keys, fortunately they were unsuccessful. Was looking for 1 car initially but now we both need to give up the luxury cars and use the runabouts for daily commutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Wow, I really didnt know you could get E46 328i for 1,5k ... Amazing! Well you could also try Autotrader or PH I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I explained above I would spend over 2K for a mint 328i se or around that mark or less for a half descent E46 (318i/320i/323i/325i). Unfortunately don't have much time to look for a car hence my post! Maybe I should get a mountain bike instead...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Do you have any Pics and some more details you can send me Dean? Sure mate, for sale thread here, would not call it a run about, more a 350BHP leather and electric everything cruiser http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=195081&highlight=e55+amg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILKYSMOOTH Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 That is alot of car for the money! Very tidy......will have to think about it though Dean, can imagine the parts and servicing will be expensive...you're right about not being a runaround car too in terms of the drinking juice and I need something reasonably economical really. I will pass this on to someone I know that might be interested. Bloody tempting though might be worth having a look one day when I have some time.
