Looks clean has a fresh nct if you could get a few quid off it wouldnt be the worse bit of motoring

This car is no longer available

€900 and it's a bloody dinger of a thing. I drove it for the missus and its perfect. Not a sound or rattle to be found. All electric working, pedals are nice and not jumping or stiff. For a 04 car it's in fantastic shape. Noel was a pleasure to deal with also.

Direct quote from herself which should give hope to men everywhere. "I think you've converted me to bangernomics". Music to my ears. Now shes happy with a car and I'm happy she wont be sending me 100 links a day to horrible yolks.

And the insurance worked out slightly cheaper than what she was paying too. All in all a great find and hopefully a lot of happy motoring ahead.

Looked great. Never drove one, but did hear good things.

Not many of them left on the roads, don't even remember last time seeing one, hope this one stays for long

Delighted someone on here got it well wear hope it's good to you!!

Great find by you so thanks for that. I'm a tight cnut anyway, hate seeing my hard earned go but I had no hesitation forking out for that, I've a really good feeling about it, ticks all the boxes and seems very well looked after. That's me and her that are driving cars from this thread now.

If they timing belt was done recently then grab it someone. Great car and it’s the most reliable 1.9 of the diesels they had.

Might just have a look at this! Anything to look out for if I did?

The petrol ones had issues with fuel gauge sensor, not sure if it affected the diesel, but make sure the fuel gauge works.

Check for play in the steering, as sometimes the universal joint below the steering column can have slight wear and make the steering feel like there is slight play in it. Not a huge issue and not huge to fix, but just see if there is play in the steering at all.

Listen for knocks in the rear. The rear bump stops are a common wear issue. Not huge money to fix, but will explain any noise or rattles. Also, front droplinks can go fairly frequently. only about 10 or 15 quid to replace, but can make a car rattly on front.

Look along the front of the engine and there is a steel coolant pipe (no idea who decided to use steel instead of rubber) and these can rust quite badly. Pig of a job to do if it they need changing.

Apart from that, there very few items to look out for. Some of them can have slow or sticky seatbelts, or the seatbelt latch needs an extra push in to lock.

Price wise, you should be trying to get it for around 1500. I bought a 2008 one last year (150bhp diesel) for a grand, but it did need a few bits which I knew at time of buying, so i spent around 300 euros sorting those.

Help please Bangerbuds!

My daughter is driving a Fiat Grande Punto and has decided to move to a saloon car and the BMW has caught her eye.
She is looking at E90 1.6 models as she wants a bigger engine, but 1.6 max. She does very very little driving. About 10 miles a day max and might use it on the weekend to come back home (around 50 or 60 mile round trip)

I know they are the **** end of BMW's and underpowered, but not an issue as she is only driving a year or two and not interested in power
So, is there anything in particular to look out for on these?

Surprised your not hoping on it yourself: )

Hah, right up my street. I bought this a few days ago. Tested til December, 900 quid.

Just had a thought, are auctions a good source of a bangernomic? Forgot they existed because of this covid stuff.

Toyotafanboi of this parish recently bought an Auris from Merlin auctions, in bangernomics budget I believe, but generally I'd say they're probably not the best places to go looking. Fees can be high and you're buying unseen at the minute

Somebody is getting a Chinese!
900 quid for that is amazing with NCT and all and knowing you won't meet a single one anywhere else on the roads!

2.5 manual S40 T5, NCT til September, same owner since 2006, €1150

This is a bit of a curiosity; 2004 is very early for one of these. I didn't realise they were available in this trim/engine either. Looks like it could be a very nice buy for the money

And there it is again for the prestige price of €4000
