MOT until 2nd April 2019
82,000 ish miles
1.9 Automatic
Red (hellrot)
I bought this about a month ago for the summer, but I cant seem to get on with it, I think it's got a problem, but a BMW specialist plugged it in and no fault codes came up.
Bad bits first:
-Start it up and away you go everything's fine, but once the car has warmed up when you stop at a junction, or in traffic it feels like the rear of the car lifts up and puts itself into neutral for a split second then goes back to normal, it might do this a couple of time a minute, the car still drives. annoys the hell out of me though. This only happens in the 'E' mode on the gearbox, if you pop it into 'M' then it drives fine, just pulls away more slowly.
-The drivers side mirror is only taped on, the aluminium shaft bit inside is broken.
-There's a dent on the drivers side rear quarter..
-It's 20 years old, so there are a few scratches on the paintwork.
-The aircon might need regassing, you can hear it come on, but it's about as cold as breathing on the back of your hand.
The drivers seat doesn't move, and they both rock.
It had a differential oil change at the weekend (Redline 75w90)
I think it's a japanese import, there are japanese stickers under the bonnet, and the V5 mentions it being registered overseas.
I don't have much paperwork other than old MOT certificates.
I wanted to enjoy this car, but sadly it is just a pain in the rear.
I would like to get around £550 for it
It is in Gillingham, Kent.
