The Reverend Bluejeans Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Yeah. Got the call just now for an S reg 323i Auto Touring for £notalot. New Goodyears and lots of useful bits of it’s NFG. Silver, aircon etc. So I’m at Sheffield Grand Central Station awaiting the 18.49 to Notts somewhere. Listening to the various cancellations and lame excuses. Oh, it's not got aircon.

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Well that was easy. Paid eh man, set off and his place was 1 mile from M1 J24. Cruised along at 70, just got back. Shockingly, there's no air con on a 1/99 323i SE. Sounds like the PAS pump or alternator is goosed. Very wandery on the front end. Steering quite heavy - might be leaking, causing the PAS pump to be noisy. Will know tomorrow. Lovely black leather in superb nick. No radio. 2000 rpm is 75 mph. Liking that a lot. It's scabby here and there but it's nearly 20 years old. Loads of history (Cat decided to sit on it) , four nearly new Goodyears. Big box of new spares - bushes, front wishbones, rear track control arms etc. Everything seems to work. £250. I'll know tomorrow whether this is viable as the next daily shitter, but I do like it. dome, Disco Fever, Sigmund Fraud and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Thanks. I have a thing for E36's. To me it's the last thing they made that was designed and built so it could be repaired. Real thought went into it whereas the design of the E46 often borders on insanity. I could sell the engine and make a profit straight away, and put the black leather in my 318i but a 170 bhp six with a five speed auto is a bit more appealing.

These have none of the brittleness associated with a contemporary BMW. They wear very well - if you are prepared to invest a bit of time and money they still are a good steed.

Lord Sterling Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Looks great man, a keeper? I remember sitting in those in the import/export garages my Dad's mates used own in Brussels, they really are nice, particularly the Tourers. Must get myself one if I am ever to actually have some money to buy one, which at the moment, seems like never. The Reverend Bluejeans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly 20 years since the last one was built. I'd love an utterly mint one to rustproof and keep forever but realistically, no. Did you get your 318i running? I was going to PM you.

Exiled_Tat_Gatherer Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I do like this shaped Touring...... that's an incredible price for what you appear to have driven off in. No details on spares - but I read it as - everything to sort the wandering front - is in the pile of parts. Hope so. Nicely done......

Supernaut Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 That's a weird looking shifter. I prefer the T-handle in my 320 automatic that you've so graciously been taking the piss out of. Well done for £250 though! That looks lovely! The Reverend Bluejeans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
