looking for one of the above for about the £500 mark loads of bmws going for that on autotrader just ondered if anyone on here was selling a capri as thats what id prefer lol


must be 1.6 for insurance ima bout to turn 17 and even a 1.6 will cost almost £2000

12months tax and mot is essential

dont bother telling me im stupid because most fo you have anyway and i simply dont want a little hatchback or something equally crappy as a first car lol

Don't bother buying one, Build one.
If you built a locost with a 1.6 capri engine the insurance would be far cheaper as would building the car. £250 according to the Haynes book.

but i would no way have it finished by january 17th lol

if your looking at BMW 316's most of them are 1800cc i'm afraid.

grr lol

how can you tell if its the 1596 cc version as apposed to the 1766 ???


was there a year that it changed because ive found a 1993 that claims to be 1596

i think its the early E36's (1991/1992) that were 1.6, not sure though, a trawl around on google will probably sort you out.

Don't touch a 316 under 1000, a lot of 3 series are hitting the auctions just now the dealers have taken them in as trade-ins and just dump them at auction because they don't want to sully thier showrooms with older cars. However the minium auction price for anything BMW that is decent and looks it won't cost a fortune to fix is 800+buyers premium. So anything below the 800 in a small adds is either a money pit or being sold by congential idiot.

For about 1000 to 1200 you can find a very decent 3 series with FSH --- hint automatics are cheapest and less likely to have been abused.
