Right, stumbled across this on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-BMW-316I-MAUVE-PURPLE-/200564347716?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2eb2911344#ht_500wt_1156

glanced over it and was about to move on, but then noticed this

Quote :: Its an extremely comfortable drive due to the smooth six cylinder engine.

forgive me but i always thought the 1.6 & 1.8 engine's in this series were 4cyl, and that the 6cylinders were 2ltr and up

ASBO? WSA? Clarification please

lol, indeed it is the case that the 1.6s and 1.8s are inline 4s

Cheers Sith! =D

I know, i'll buy it, then get him to take money off cos it's "Not as Described" ha ha

£500 sounds nice to me lol

Either that or hes dropped a different engine in lol Razz

From the pics it looks like theres 4 spark plugs.

Also, theres a plastic thing on the drivers side of the engine, with 4 pipes or something going into it... I know its not very technical of me... but theres 4 of them, not 6 lol

i think thats as about as technical as you need to be to realise its not a 6 pot

Subject: Re: BMW 316i Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:32 am

how is it you send a message and it appears below the item descrition or is that up to the seller to decide i cant remeber. if it is possible then im sure a few sarcastic question might help any other intrested buyers.

Subject: Re: BMW 316i Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:49 am

i think if its a private listing the questions dont show at the bottom, and most listings are private nowadays!

Subject: Re: BMW 316i Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:55 am

could still be worth asking him a few questions just to see the reply.

Subject: Re: BMW 316i Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:56 am

ask for his email address and ask away, grab a bargain!
