	Hi chaps (and ladies?), In a drunken fit of rage I bought this delight over the phone without seeing it and relying on a poor description: 'i think it's like an E21 but it has 4 doors. Does that make it a 2002?'. Turns out its worse than I have the skills to deal with. It's pretty rotten. When i say pretty rotten, I mean the very. I think it's saveable, but only if you're prepared to put the hours in. Otherwise it will break pretty well, but I just don't have the time and space. The story is that some chap took it to be MOT'd, serviced and sprayed back in 1996. When he came to collect the car, he wasn't happy with the spray job so it sat in the mechanics yard up until about a month ago when I came along. It's red. Carbed 2.5 straight 6 (M30 or some derivative of?), manual. It doesn't run, although i've not tried to get it to. But i think with some fresh fuel and oil it's got a good chance of exploding back in to life. There have only been two owners from new, and the interior (albeit missing the odd trim piece here and there and the addition of the odd spider) looks pretty effing decent. Model: BMW E3 2500 Year: 1972 Mileage: 96k Tax: Nope MOT: Don't be silly Pics: Location: Sheffield Price: £700 ono Contact details: 078351995seven2. I get a lot of spam calls, so if I don't answer then leave a voicemail or send a text and I'll call you back. Thanks, Pete

	Its a 4 speed. I'm pretty sure it is anyway.

	These were all 4-speed AFAIK. Gorgeous cars to drive for their age, and going up in value, but they do like to rot...

	Yes, no 5 speeds from the factory. Could, possibly, have been converted later, but as standard, it's a four speed. That's going to be a mammoth restoration. That C post won't be easy to repair.

	Is the C pillar rust the worse of it, or just a teaser of how much there really is?

	These are the 4 door saloon on my car, the E9. I think it will have all sorts of issues that will need an experience restorer with time and money to put right, sadly - although having said that, the front inner wings look good which are one of the first areas to start rotting out, so perhaps it's not as bad as it could be.

	Sorry for the lack of response on here, I don't seem to get the alerts. The C pillar is the worst example. Ive not been underneath it, but i can tell you that the jacking points/accelerator pedal floor mount area are toast. Same goes for the boot floor if I can remember. If anyone wants some more pictures of specific things then I can get them tomorrow. The inner wings are solid as a rock, the bonnet is rotting from the inside. All the chrome trim is completely unmarked. Pete
