    Besides a set of wipers there aint much left to replace at this stage.

    Hold onto it !

    that`s what i`m thinking , it`s got 113k on it now and practically new mechanically be a shame to give someone else the benefit , must pick up those wipers before they go : )

    "clutch+ clutch plate 1800e" :eek:

    Id er on the side of holding onto it. I put alot of money into by my old Beemer (similar mileage to yours) over the last 3 years also. The car is worth bugger all on the 2nd hand market, so its worth more to me than to others, therefore im going to retain it.
