bmw 316

[kizersozey]

hi guys, i got a call from a good friend this evening regarding her bmw 316i 1992 4 door,spoiler, metalic red (burgandy), she had it in her drive for over a yaer as her boyfriend went to work in uk and since has got new uk car, nct just expired 05/09, but milege on last nct 145000 when tested, milege now 147320, 4 new pirellis on 15" alloys lovely clean motor and not a bloody mark on it, untill last night when some yob smashed rear pass window, so she asked me to tow it away before its wrecked,

anyways i drove it home after jumpstarting it first turn, usual tapetty 1.6 but smooth car to drive. is there anyone out there who would be interested in the car. i'll get window myself and put it in.....sure its worth few bob to someone....shame to break it even though its only 92, but so clean and tight to drive, old nct report shows it got all new bushes, droplinks, tyres and so on.

[kizersozey]

Nice looking 92!

I'll go visit my fto later today depending on the progress I'll give you a shout mate.

[kizersozey]

yeah she's tidy little beamer. i'd say she'll fly through the nct as all work was done only 2000 odd miles ago on last nct, then she was parked up till now......similar story all over the country with cars lying up then got for a song

[fatboyfat7]

I sent a PM last night about this and I got an automated response saying it was deleted before reading?! Either way, I very interested in this. I think Im going to park up the FTO until I can figure out what I need to do for the NCT. PM resent again, Chris

[kizersozey]

chris i duno i you got last pm regarding my contact numbers? keeps going to outbox......let me know if you got the pm please

....... I'll go visit my fto later today depending on the progress I'll give you a shout mate.

Is that FTO still in the bodyshop? Seems like ages since it first went in.

[Muad_dib77]

Well over a year at this stage..

It''s being colour sanded just now...

[fatboyfat7]

What you doing to her Janus?

[colm_mcm]

Thinking he's waiting till it qualifies for classic tax?

[optical illusion]

Ooooh burn

[Muad_dib77]

Hahhaahah..Stick to the topic or you're all banned!

I seriously expect to get it back this weekend...

Picked up my slam panel from karl today..Looking good..
Looks abit like a kligon Batleth...


Soooo what's new with the BMW316?

[colm_mcm]

OK, back on topic. Chris has been very quiet about his new purchase.

Must mean it's already broken down

[kizersozey]

doubt that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,he got it very cheap as he's a fellow fto member . nice tight little motor

[Dragonheart]

doubt that he's a fellow fto member .

But its Chris, its his trademark. Though not for a while now though! Maybe the curse has been lifted?

[fatboyfat7]

Ah no she's going well for me! I just didnt want to be driving the FTO any longer without the nct. She's a fine little car is this beamer! The bodywork is immaculate for a 1992. Probably need to replace a segment of the exhaust but other than that im delighted ith her! Thanks again Jason.

Oh and one of the lads is back in college in galway and he's driving through Eyre Square. Next thing a FTO pulls up alongide him. He takes gamble and shouts across, ''Hey, I saw the BMW you sold to Chris!'' He just saw the fto and put 2 and 2 together. Still though, you must have been a little freaked!

[kizersozey]

hi chris yeah it was unreal yeah, small world we live in lol. good to hear the beamer's going well,

[fatboyfat7]

well had a bit of bad news today. went to get the exhaust fixed and was informed the cat is ruined. They quoted me €550 for a new one!! Just checked them there online and they can be got much cheaper so all is not lost! Anyone know would a 316 e36 cat be the same for all 92-99 cars? I presumed they would be, but on ebay the ad stated 94-95. Still though, even if it does need a new cat, it still works out as a great deal.

chris i might be able to sort you out there,,,,,,,i know of two which are currently scrapped, but not sure about condition of cats on them as scrap yards tend to lift cars about the place with shagging forklift......i'll let you know later or in morning
