Modifying.

[Andy1878]

Hello again guys not been on much as I still ain't got a Beemer but i'm off to look at a 320d Touring tomorrow it's not exactly what I want but needs must now, it's a 2001 SE 136 with 150k on the clock but it's a good price and an ideal start for now then I can probably upgrade to one with less miles in a couple of years, anyway enough rambling I'm just wondering about some easy mods, want to update the front bumper to the one with round fogs also how easy is it to put in an aftermarket head unit with an ISO does it require a facia adapter? also has anyone got any experience of plug and play tuning boxes? quite like the idea of and extra 30odd BHP without too much hassle :D

Cheers guys. B)

Simplest advice I (and many others) could give to you, Andy, is don't buy it !! If you do, then probably a week later, the BMW you REALLY wanted will become available...

[Andy1878]

Then again it might not and i'll have to keep putting all my money into my Lexus :lol:

320d...go for it....car and half mate..trust me

[Andy1878]

Even with 150k on it?

[G4VHD]

Yes, can i ask the price?

2.5k-3.5k depending on condition..

[Andy1878]

2.5k with 12 months MOT not seen it yet so don't know what condition It's in.

[G4VHD]

Sounds good, let us know how you get on mate

[Andy1878]

Doesn't look like I'm going now, rang the garage they said It's at the MOT place getting a door lock fixed it should have been back Saturday but they never got there in time to pick it up so It's due back this morning he then took my number and said I'll ring them and phone you back in 5 mins that was at half 9 so not chasing round after them I've got the cash sat here so will just keep looking.

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Sounds like they're putting you off mate, did you show them you were KEEN ?

They could be stalling to "reel-in" another person at a higher price to cover work done !!

[Greeney2k1]

150K....thats not even run in!

DO IT! lol

[Andy1878]

Phoned them a few times, said i wanted to see it as soon as possible, still not had a call off them so It's a no go don't like getting messed around, I've seen a very nice saloon with 120k, full leather high spec and a good price, would prefer a touring though.

[G4VHD]

my only regret is not having a touring...but that is the only 1 lol

[Andy1878]

Would defo prefer a touring but started looking at saloons more now as I need to get one soon.

[G4VHD]

Saloons are good, I have one lol.

As big as they are though, no folding rear seats, you cant get nothing in!

[andy-mcq]

got to admit , thats the only thing thats a pain with a saloon! going the tip is better with the mrs polo :lol:

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

I can get SIX bodies in my boot :rolleyes:

[Andy1878]

It's driving me mad to be honest, got the cash sat here, and no I'm not telling you where i live :lol: just got to be patient I guess but it's frustrating, I can increase my budget thanks to having a wonderful Mum but even still there's nowt about :(

[G4VHD]

How frustrating...

You'll find 1 soon mate, nice 1 for the old girl lol :D

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Don't rush it mukka ! The perfect purchase may just be round the corner :)
