Funny how things work out !

Well after 6 months on the hunt for a car would you believe it i have bought my old car back ! My BMW 325i satin pearl with ! I sold the car just under 1 year ago and its only done just under 3k miles in that time the owner is now moving abroad. Picked it up today and its still just as good as when i sold it apart from a few minor cosmetic issues that need sorting. As much as i loved my Range Rover you really just can't beat how the e90 drives, no slowing down for corners etc. The car still has the wrap that i had done but i think i will be removing this and thinking of satin metallic grey but we will see. I will probably start a new thread and post up my plans and keep use updated on its progress. Anyway I'm well chuffed with getting it back, spent a lot on it when i had it originally so it wants for nothing

Nice motor mate, why chrome grills though?

Wobble · 10-28-2015, 02:46 PM

Mate looks awesome,if you don't mind me asking how much did the wrap cost? I'm thinking if I ever have the money I'd like frozen white or a red like Porsche guards red,thanks x

thanks mate,i wrapped the car myself but the material cost £650 however a standard gloss white would be around £300 for the vinyl then i would say around £1000 upwards for fitting

3M stuff? Could you recommend anywhere to get it?

Mark e90 · 10-28-2015, 04:49 PM

vinyl on mine is APA it's on a par if not better than 3M, I ordered it from them direct. you can get KPMF vinyl from MDP gloss white is around £8 +vat per meter from memory. takes roughly 20 meter to wrap an e90.

Cheers. Something I've been considering for a while. Just a case of finding the time to do it properly.

That's really cool. Guess you were never really meant to have sold it in the first place lol.

jammy78 · 10-30-2015, 10:55 AM

Question is.... how much less did you pay for it?

Kali · 11-09-2015, 05:43 PM

Very nice car mate! Although, I've seen a very similar car to this, near mines, in Scottish Borders, that has just gone. Where was the car bought from?

Mark e90 · 11-09-2015, 05:47 PM
