MrRegieRitmo Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Z1s are the original BMW Z car roadster - the rarest & most expensive too (barring the Z8 ) if you think, they're 17 or 18 years old now. Last one I saw was a G reg one in Brighton a couple of years ago. PC rates a top condition one as £16k of car.Mind you a top condition M1 will set you back £45k, by far the most expensive 'classic' Beemer. Even a poor condition one is £25k from memory.

wilko Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Theres a 1980 2-door Beemer 320 on the autotrader website now for less that the cost of metallic paint on that horrendous junior exec w**k fantasy! "74k Miles, 11 months MOT, 5 months Tax, old MOTs available, low miles, very clean interior, unfinished project, original tool kit, reluctant sale. £500. ono." It looks pretty nice - I wonder how "unfinished" a project it is with almost a full ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompei Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Before the b******s made me redundant they gave me a 318 diseasal for about 6 weeks. Nasty plasticky thing, and a far cry from "the ultimate driving machine" I was expecting it to be. Wish it'd been a 2002 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docker Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 i'll still have an 02 - or a 3.0 CSi or a E21 323i.or a 507 of course - just to look at all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reallyloud Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 That 1 series coupe is badly proportioned, the designers have tried to put too much into into it - that centre sill crease that the 1 series has looks like a bad accident repair. Horrid. And it doesn't have the wheelbase and overhang to look like a graceful coupe - the current 3-series coupes are at least reasonably graceful looking motors, despite being driven by some pretty insipid owners. I'd take a E30 with a 6 pot any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get the performance of the 2.5, but you don't get the frugality of the 4-potters either. Still, they do sound nice. Hunt and you can find good ones for less than that though. My brother's current one (318i) cost just £215, OK so it has some miles on it but it came minty fresh, and he's not had to do a thing to it in nearly 2 years of daily motoring. Value.
