Style 116 5 Series Alloys
MOT due September 2016
Car has a lovely set of BMW alloys style 116 from a 5 series, not that common from what i have seen and are in fairly good condition, front tyres have loads of tread, rears are worn on inner edges
Leather is in good condition and car has original first aid box, located in rear head rests. It has a near complete original tool kit and a full size spare with nearly new tyre.
Had a brand new fuel tank a few years ago
Big folder of history
As with any cars of this age there are a few areas that need attention:
The stereo and dash info display have lost some of their pixels, this is a common issue due to the solder breaking on the ribbon cable, a £30 fix.
The air con has no gas in it, but it does power on
The cruise control doesn't turn on, never use it so never bothered to investigate
The passenger side rear arch is developing rust due to the age of the car, only light bubbling. The fuel filler area also has a small rust patch inside by the filler neck area.
It has a Ractive exhaust system, however one of the end trims has fallen off, i do have it but its mis-shappen
The engine does use a bit of oil but nothing excessive
There is a whining noise from the drivers side, I believe its coming from the fuel filter and only happens when up to temperature. I have a filter to replace it but no facilities to do so.
The cd changer says bad disk for all cds put in, maybe needs a clean
The header tank bracket is broken, so is a bit loose.
The temperature gauge goes up and down randomly, this is due to air in the system, i have tried to bleed it but no luck. It defiantly doesn't overheat and you can hear the air bubbling around the heater matrix sometimes. so just needs a damn good bleed.
It got mot advisory on rear bushes, rear tyres and parking brake
Been as honest as i can be, it is a lovely car with a long mot, turns heads wherever it goes and so much room inside. If someone was looking for a base car to return to OEM spec, then this would be a great starting point. More pictures on request. I may swap with cash my way W.H.Y
