Post by: SteveP on February 06, 2009, 05:08:39 pm: Cracking car :drool:

Title: Re: Look at this bargin!
Post by: Phil Mcavity on February 06, 2009, 05:14:43 pm: For that money it might say in the small print " little unknown issue with clutch slippage". Does sound like too much of a bargain. Hes not rampt up the cost with those mods :surprised:.

That can will make almost any car on the road look silly in performance terms.

It seems to me that someone had something against Ben in that instance, seems crazy! Anyways yeah hardly fair when you look at that video!

Title: Re: Look at this bargin!
Post by: Hurdy on February 06, 2009, 07:50:20 pm: I was actually suspiscious about that car last time it was advertised and a bit like Jonnyc I thought about looking at it....for about 2 seconds!!. Issues with the mechanicals is what I suspected. Now it has been on sale again I fear I could be right. Here's hoping the person who bought it got a comprehensive warranty with it :scared:

I agree that the previous owner was daft driving like that and then a real fool for downloading a video of it onto Youtube :surprised:

Post by: RobMKV on February 07, 2009, 09:37:02 pm: Darren the guy who's car it was is a nice chap, bit crazy in the videos but a real petrol head,

Sold him a 335d november last year, hes spent plently on it already -

Brakes
Recaros
Exhaust
etc etc

Around 370hp.

He had a few other toys at the time including an MTM Rs4 cab,

Looked a bargain,
