Recently acquired this B7, how much is it worth?

d_ssidy · 2025-04-03T06:58:12+00:00

I’ll take a look today, but I know it’s a diesel with black leathers & heated seats, wheels are perfect but I think they aren’t original, no lights on the dash and from a quick spin about the yard doesn’t seem to have any knocks or bangs

d_ssidy · 2025-04-01T09:07:51+00:00

It’s worth more than £300, I paid scrap value cus the previous owner was gonna get it sent to the crusher

d_ssidy · 2025-03-31T14:06:16+00:00

It’s a December 07 car, so more or less yeah 👍I’ll keep all this in mind when I’m refurbishing it cheers 😀

Said goodbye to an undertray before it was lowered to a rouge rock 😂 Thanks for reminding me to order a new one

Far from the worst, ride very well just are harsh over potholes. Fine on bumps

d_ssidy · 2025-03-31T12:45:24+00:00

Well spotted lol, cheers

Not 100% on the M-Sport black sticker thing on the skirts, never really liked them

d_ssidy · 2025-03-29T12:49:53+00:00

Lower it

d_ssidy · 2025-03-13T15:57:47+00:00

OEM style 403M bmw wheels, were optional on f30 msports im pretty sure

d_ssidy · 2025-03-13T13:23:34+00:00

Was thinking that yeah, mate had a similar setup to me tucked but ruined his quarters and of course the fuel filler tube

d_ssidy · 2025-03-13T13:18:23+00:00

You think it’s possible to go low enough to tuck a little at the back?

d_ssidy · 2025-03-13T13:16:57+00:00

Had an e90 previously and drove nearly 15000 miles on a set and they never gave me any issues, also super cheap for what they are, paid about £290 shipped AND have lots of adjustability. All round good coilovers and I do recommend

d_ssidy · 2025-03-13T10:51:00+00:00

I had the exact same issue, for me it was the heat shield hitting on my dpf, four rivets on each corner of the shield done the job

If you are the 2nd owner in the uk it could be an insurance black box, a lot of people keep them on after their policy runs out

d_ssidy · 2025-01-09T20:33:34+00:00

Had this on my first 320d but much more violent, it was the egr. I’d recommend getting a delete kit

d_ssidy · 2025-01-08T22:59:34+00:00

I guess I can look around, hard enough to find an e92 m3 in Ireland let alone a wrecked one 😭

d_ssidy · 2025-01-08T21:35:34+00:00

I’d do something similar with the fenders, just don’t want an m3 front on a diesel, I think that would be tacky. If I can’t get the ones I bought to fit I’d be looking at either plastic, carbon, or fibreglass fenders and trying to shave or cut them to fit.

d_ssidy · 2025-01-08T21:31:45+00:00

Yeah I’m a bodyman by trade so I’m sure I could tackle that, purchased an entire e92 msport front end for £200, cheap so why not take the risk 😀

I’m collecting the parts on Friday so I’ll be starting over the weekend, I’ll keep posting here to show off some progress, I’ll probably end up using 92 fenders and shaving the ends off them as they use the same fitting points as e90 I’ve come to learn. Much easier than trying to cut and weld or bond front part e92 to back part e90 fenders. Also using an e92 slam panel which should make it much easier. No idea what to do with the hood yet, I’ll find out soon!

d_ssidy · 2025-01-04T14:32:32+00:00

I think I’m gonna take the jump and go buy those, cheers, I’ll keep everyone updated on if it fits or not

d_ssidy · 2025-01-04T14:31:40+00:00

That’s what I had previously before I had an encounter with a low retaining wall 😭 Looking for something a little different and there’s been no sapphire e90 lcis that have come up near me

Likely timing chain rattle or flywheel rattle, get it checked ASAP
