been offered a swap for my s1 for a Lreg m3 coupe in avus blue, looks ok condition wise dont think theres a lot of service history with it tho

says vanos akes a noise for 5 secs on startup but its normal on them?


never had a m3 before so am tempted but im thinking my s1 is worth a little more or more to the point an easier seller too

opinions?

 

4k ish? whats the mileage?

 

1994 So it will be a 3.0

Vanos problems on the 3.0 is very rare! Most are a bit noisey on startup, I went to look at about 10 before I got my vert! The evo’s are the worst for vanos probs, but they still are not that bad just all the keyboard warriors making them out to be

Check Exhaust Manifold flexi Joint! Nasty job to repair or replace.

General Service history condition...

My Mate Dan has a 3.0 coupe on 165k and it gets abused big time and still faultless!

 

i got a 3.0 4 dr, what a car, refused to sell it when i got the escossy.

rust on the archs if its not been garaged, a part from that, they are bomb proof. As for money wise, I paid 5.5k for mine with 95k on the clock, fbmwsh and immaculate.

I think the sunroofs are prone to stop working if electric... but thats about it

 

they may be good cars bomb proof and that but in 5-6yrs time even if both are looked after which will have lost the most value i`d garage the s1 and use and abuse the m3 (funds permitting of course),but thats only my opinion,we all have one etc

 

4k you guys sure?

im asking realisticly my s1 i spose is worth anything between 2250 and 3k

to be honest with hardly no history done 106k but cant be proved can it i values it @2500 tops or am i worng?

 

a fucked one thats been tracked is 2.5 k mate

 

words from my bmw specialist mechanic, you buya good one, your laughing, buy a shit one, and your laughin to the bank! nuff said

 

they dont sell as well as people think they do but they are great cars.

hard to realistically value it but if everything is ok and as it should be you should get 3k for it.suppose it depends how quick you want to get out of the s1 as well....

 

That makes no sense at all

Laughing all the way to the bank generally means you have got a financial "one over" on someone/thing?

 

lol sorry crying to the bank lol, i must proof read before i send my posts out lol

 

Mine wasnt "BOMB PROOF" the crank went at 70k thats with fbmwsh not as bad on juice as you would expect though. be carefull alot of old wankers about you get what you pay for.

 

very true
