EssDeeWon Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Due to me keep having lustful thoughts about Rover 75's I need to offer my BMW for sale, its a 1998/S 318is Coupe Auto (140bhp)  101k, a folder full of service history, Fully stamped service schedule, MOT to April, a really straight genuine example which Barry and his mates have not messed about with, the previous owner had it for 3 years and he bought it off his BOL who also had it a few years.  Everything works (electric windows/sunroof/mirrors/CL) It was last serviced in January 2014 (full service incl plugs) @98k and the last MOT in April was at 99k, so its only done about 3k this year, had a new exhaust fitted in September. It drives spot on, no warning lights, just as it should be. No use of any oil or water, driven it into London a few times it seems quite happy in traffic as well as cruising on the motorway.  Rear diff has started to show some signs of leakage, there are a few dabs under where I park it. Probably an oil seal, Ive owned 4 BMW's and each one has had a leaky rear diff.  I might stick it on Autotrader this week for 800 if I get time, but im looking for Ã‚£700 firm. If no joy selling it I will happily keep it for the rest of the winter and continue 75 shopping in the spring, but in case anyone is interested here it is (located in Essex near Southend);    Micrashed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Erm, doesn't PBK like automatics, and isn't PBK selling a 75? And isn't PBK somewhere in that sort of shandy drinking region? EssDeeWon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssDeeWon Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Erm, doesn't PBK like automatics, and isn't PBK selling a 75? And isn't PBK somewhere in that sort of shandy drinking region? Some PM's have already been exchanged, indeed his not far away in distance but his selling for X and im selling for Y. The plan would be to sell BMW, then buy 75, and have some reddies left over for servicing and any little jobs etc..

purplebargeken Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 That is one nice looking BMW. Thanks for trying to love match Billy but X and Y are a wee bit apart sadly otherwise I'd be after this like a rat up a drainpipe.

Ghosty Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Something tells me my dad would like this - alas he lives where NF registrations come from (Manchester) and that's pretty far from Southend for a lazy bugger like him. EssDeeWon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still has Blue Bell BMW number plates from Altrincham too, where it was serviced between 2002 and 2004. Ghosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Likewise mate. I now expect to see a fully valeted and fussed 75 within 48 hours. It's the law. EssDeeWon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
