I bought my wife a 53 plate 325 F1 Williams convertable about 6 years ago. It's hardly been used....only 28,000 on the clock. It's Monaco Blue with white leather interior, with F1 Williams embossed in the headrests, plus a dual blue strip through all of the leather. There's a plaque on the dash reading 'car 12 of 26'.... The BMW garage says it's reasonable rare. I'm not thinking of selling it, but just wondered how rare it is, and whether I should lock it away for a few years....??

Cheers. It's a tough one. I guess The M3 will always be far more expensive anyway.

I guess I was hoping someone in the club might already own one. There's still time, but thanks for your efforts........ Much appreciated.

Hi Gav

Thanks for the info guys. Really interesting. Yes, we still own it. We purchased it from Chesterfield BMW. It was on a 53 plate. It has a personal number plate now, so i can't remember the original without looking in our files ( I know it had a 'Z' in it..!!. Still a beautiful car. Not that I am thinking of selling, but how would a value be placed on it, if it is as rare as you say it is....??

Cheers

Hi steve

if it is the car i brought for my wife which was a 53 plate and the dates you gave for purchasing the car fits as she part exchanged for a discovery at approx the time you brought and i know Stratstone past it onto a BMW dealer. the previous owners initial should have been Mrs M B

that is so long as no one else owned before you purchased with approx 11,000 on the clock

She realy was something special and not sure why we ever let her go. good to see shes still going strong and looking as good as she did when we purchaes her

only problem we ever had was people hanging around when she was parked and scuffing the paint work.

Cheers

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave, Just an update and I think you may be right. Went out and gave it a few revs when cold, nothing. Let it warm up and there was a loud “shoooo”. I’ve attached a photo of where the sound was coming from. Going to get it looked into but do you have any idea of what it could be? First BMW, always had vag cars so engine are a little different to what I’m used to

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave thanks for your reply, thanks for the reply and it does sound like that could be the problem. I was thinking injector but never pops an engine light up so wasn’t certain. Was serviced 6500 miles ago but was just oil and filters. Going to check later and see if I can see any visible cracks or splits. Got a friend who has a garage and will obd and smoke test it for me.

      E53 petrol fail safe again.

      Morning Stu Long time since I played with a straight six so the old memory might be wonky here so check realoem From memory it is linked to the Air Pump and Vacuum control system. Find the Airpump and follow the Vac lines to the rear of the engine you should find a valve with a plug on top (or end) first make sure all lines are good no splits or cracks check the valve is operating, dont forget there is a non return vale in the system close to the inlet manifold. Hope this helps Dave
