It has vibrating seats, buy it! They also felt the need to mention that it comes with a turbo... Odd

yes you can see why I was a bit suspicious can't you

Fox is right, wrong bonnet/rear light combo.

lookitsjonno · 18 Oct 2010 at 17:01

i'm no bmw expert but can you explain the difference?

Cosmic182 · 18 Oct 2010 at 17:08

what baffles me, is that its an SE front bumper too!!...its like a mix and match of everything....has the facelift mirrors, lights etc, yet old styles grilles and bonnet yet an M sport rear and interior .....

The facelift car has 2 raised lines which run from the badge on the nose to the windscreen and the rear lights are almost totally red. This car has the none facelift bonnet with no lines but the all red rear lights from the facelift

i feel for the poor old sole that will

Yup just looked again and confirmed my first thoughts - it's a facelift car with a prefacelift front end. It's also very cheap, basically don't bother

lookitsjonno · 18 Oct 2010 at 17:27

back to the drawing board - seems that every car I find has a negative be it high milage, no leather, wrong colour, and now a shoddy repair job

Thats probably a product of your budget. If your budget is £15k and you wish to buy a 2008ish 320d, then all you are going to find are dodgy cars, big miles cars and cars in crap colours.

i'm not so much after a 58 reg just something that is reasonably low milage and that's got a decent spec, 07/57 will do. what do you think to this one?

Seems better but I just can't get excited about the way the pre facelift 3 Series looks. But that one looks like a good example at about what its worth, rather than a true bargain.

lookitsjonno · 18 Oct 2010 at 18:34

yeah it's a tough budget, the facelift is just out of reach

I know you've said this before but what is it you don't like? The LCI has 2 lines on the bonnet and red rear lights other than that there is next to no difference.

The front end on the pre LCI is pretty horrible, and the M Sport front bumper is nasty and angular. It's also lit entirely by halogen bulbs (Xenon's excepted but you know what I mean)- we do not live in the 1990's, it's a late model premium car. It should have LED's, for example.
