With fees sold for just under £20,000
Description declared corroded sills, bodywork/ paintwork requires attention, engine oil leaks. And don’t forget buying at auction comes with the gamble of not been able to drive the car before bidding. I think you could easily spend £5,000 making the car right.
Would you risk buying a 17 year old at at auction?

i went there to look at it and possibly bid on this and a couple of other cars.
it was a dog.
i'd like to put a positive slant on it but simply can't.
would have been ashamed to be seen in it.
nothing that couldn't be fixed but believe me it looked particularly rough.
wanted lots of rust dealing with and a full paint before you'd have drove round in it.

One persons dog is another mans best friend?
I'm the one that bought it. Hammer price was actually £16200. Including all the fees it came £18100.
I think I got a bargain. And after reading this, I'm glad to see it's had rear subframe strengthening.
Rusty sills and creaky suspension I can deal with. Exhaust can be replaced and the interior is perfect. Me and my Dad drove it from Birmingham to Belfast in one day and both fell in love with it. There's life in the old dog yet!Last edited by Chris W; 26-09-2017, 10:12 PM.2000 Z3M coupe, Titansilber Silver with Kyalami/Black seats

Mbrennan has had his sills off and cleaned everything up underneath, not a huge job just a bit fiddly. Something I want to do on mine this winter.Pete C

You never head to any shows? Plan to bring it to a few next summer. Do you ever go to any BMW NI meets or go on their Facebook group? I've shared a few pictures already on the Facebook page. I haven't seen a Coupe over here in years!2000 Z3M coupe, Titansilber Silver with Kyalami/Black seats
