How not to advertise your 330i

Jez's point is that if you wish to buy a car like this at a price like this you must be prepared to write its value off given the potential for enormous bills and limited resale appeal when you've finished with it. IE, if £5k is a lot of money for you then an 8 year old 330Ci with multiple previous owners probably isnt a good idea.

Whereas if you fancy a new toy and £5k isnt all that, why not?

Bang on what i meant

I think most people could appreciate the point Jez - a lot of people who dont get it are the sort that would buy a 5k 330i and expect it to cost the same to run as a 5k Fiesta

Perhaps using the phrase '£5k? Who cares' wasn't the best way to get such a point across then.

Because in the context of the car, the scenario HAS to be exactly that. If its not for you then you wont be looking at 330ci's anyway.

please remember not everyone was born into wealth on here.

5k is a considerable amount of money to many, myself included. comments like that just takes the ****.

What about people that weren't born into wealth but have done ok for themselves? Your comments take the **** in my eyes in your assumption that people can't improve on what their parents achieved.

You swine!

I'm surprised he's even managed to get the back end out. But then it looks wet so that would help. That 3.0l does not have enough power for proper drifts unless you take it at insane speed.

Hardly full spec either, no xenons.

Err it has plenty enough power to do a 'proper drift', having an open diff will really hold you back though.
