FREE BMW Tradition - E46 316i FOR ACTUAL FREE - NOW GONE


Recommended Posts

I reckon you should do a trusted loan scheme, most people on here have at least 6 cars anyway

I love free cars.

 

I have been out in my E36 328i and loved it today, but this one doesn't use enough fuel for my taste!

Posted

I have literally spent all afternoon changing the coil springs on my mates e46 318.

 

Everything came apart nice and easily. Everything went back together nice and easily. (there was a very dodgy moment with the el cheapo spring compressors I would rather forget..... shudder)

 

Would heartily recommend these as being easy to work on compared to my usual fare (modern French shite, c3 I'm looking at you)
 

this is FAR nicer than his one. Cannot believe this is free! It would be an epic collection for me, involving a ferry from Belfast so I'm probably oot.

 

If you have no joy giving away a completely free car I might be tempted and amazed all at the same time

Crikey, I now don't know what to do.  Draw lots?   Give it to whomever actually needs it most?  I have no clue.

 

There is no particular urgency to have it gone subject only to the issue (of relevance to the taker, not to me) that the MoT runs out at midnight on Tuesday.  I will jump start the car and run it up to temperature in the morning.  

 

The seats are mega piss-stained, by the way.  They are trimmed with really shit quality cloth.  The interior looks and feels cheap as fook - it seems that in that era BMW was making the transition from desirable posh car (albeit destined to become some Barry Boy's ho) to "every cunt has got one" mass market shite.   Oh well, at least it isn't a 320D.  

 

The bodywork is a but scuffed and dinged here and there, BTW.

"bodywork is scuffed and dinged"

 

Its also FREE!!

 

I have wife approval, if no one else wants it ill attempt an epic collection involving flights, ferrys, England Ireland and northern Ireland......

 

Just sold the Volvo too so I'm down to one car so have space.

For some odd reason I thought this was still at your bruvs house. Didn't realise it was at Breadvan Manor, doh!

I have no urgency for another car, in fact the wife would kill me! I very much doubt youll have trouble shifting it, but I'll be here as a fall back ;)

The fairest way is clearly for people to pick a number from 1-59, BV pays us £1 each for them and the winner gets a £1 and a BMW.

How do the raffles actually work? I missed that meeting.

 

I would of course like to give the car to everyone who has asked for it, but there might be a snag about that.  So, draw lots, or arrange for champions to fight for it.  These champions could perhaps be Lithuanian lingerie models fighting in a vat of guacamole, or something. Or, draw lots.

As I said, I'm happy to come and get it if you give me the nod. Can easily get Mahmoud to book me in for an MOT. He passed my Sterling, if that bloody thing can pass, I'm sure the BMW will have no trouble.

 

All I'll need to do is transfer insurance onto it and buy tax.

If it has non vented rear disks, I have a brand new set in my garage due to a misorder. Free to shiters.

How about the owner collects, keeps till shitefest and does a LIVE ACTION RAFFLE*, I'm looking at you Mr Six Cylinder :)

 

Raffle must be drunken* Wicker man style orgy.

Posted

I'd suggest £1 donation to daveb (if breadvan really doesn't want owt) for a roffle, that would seem the fairest way.

 

Ps. I don't want a ticket, another car is not an option after tomorrow

Yeah, I may not have actually counted all the askers so far but I'm sure you will get enough for a free roffle.

 

With a donation of £1 per ticket or whatever to sheriff DaveB47 to help keep the virtual cowboys off our ranch.

A free raffle with all interested parties , up to now . Being allocated numbers and then drawn on Wednesday night with rover 75. I am sure they are all worthy recipients.

I don't know how the autoshite raffles work.  I haven't followed any of the raffle threads, sozzer.

 

 I have put the names of all punters so far in my mum's hat.  My mum has drawn the winning name, and that name is Lord Sterling.

Congrats LS

 

Roffles, numbers 1 -59 picked and paid for. Then the bonus ball from the next lotto chooses the number that wins.

Congratulations Lord Sterling :)

 

With hindsight I could probably buy one for the cost of bringing this one home lol

Well done lord sterling. If you now win * the 75 raffle on Wednesday I am sure someone ,possibly me . Will give you a fee quid for it. Save you picking it up and also to pay towards any expenses you may incur with said BMW mot. Good luck. May all your chickens lay golden eggs,other Chinese proverbs available.

They are non vented, so if they will fit, you are welcome to them. I'm located in WR6 5DB. Wife will be happy to get them out of the garage.

Would have been fun to do it like the film Rat Race where you put the car somewhere, tell us where the car is, and the first one there gets the car!

Congrats Lord Sterling!

A solid replacement for your poleaxed Merc.

 

 

Should we call you Baron Reichsmark now?
