MangoMan Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) ...... that I sold the 323i a few weeks ago. Not because I particularly wanted to but because I was having trouble locating and resolving the Airbag Light issue, and what with the MOT coming up in a few weeks I just wasn't prepared to end up with a car with no MOT so sold it beforehand. If it wasn't for that I would have loved to have kept it as I really liked it. At least as a consolation I sold it for quite a bit more than I bought it for, and with the proceeds I took a gamble and bought this: American Honda Accord 3.0 V6 Auto. Quite a rare car actually and certainly has some get-up-and-go! I just wanted to thank everyone that took their time in advice given over the short period I was here - one of the better Forums for sure! Thank You....

The_Judge_ Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Well, it's been almost 2 weeks, you must be back an E46 by now right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoMan Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) I can honestly say if it wasn't for that damned Airbag light I would still have it because other than that it was a really good one! And I had planned to do a few things more to it. But that issue was just an unknown quantity and a risk I was not prepared to take unfortunately..... But if anyone fancies a swap........ Approx 97000 mile. 7 months MOT. Service History. Just been Serviced including Auto-Box. Cruise Control, Headlight Washers, Sunroof, 3 Keys + Remote, Electric Seats, Heated Seats, 4 New Nexen 8000 235/40x18 Tyres, (Literally fitted 3 weeks ago!), Stainless Steel Cat-Back Dial Exhaust. Everything works. Edited January 12, 2017 by MangoMan The_Judge_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 To be fair mate, that's a lot of car for a grand. MangoMan and RichS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but it has a limited following. There are only 300 odd left on the road in the UK - there was only a thousand to start off with up to 2002! With just over 100 on SORN. If I was selling I would be looking for £1200.00+ But I would only consider an e46 with less than 110000 miles and an Auto 323/325 with Leather Interior. 2/4 Door or Tourer.

RichS Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Is it just me that thinks getting rid of a car is madness because the airbag light is on and you haven't found an easy fix? And I quote "it was a really good one! And I had planned to do a few things more to it." Wow. The_Judge_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I quote "it was a really good one! And I had planned to do a few things more to it." Wow. No, not really when a local BMW specialist quoted me anything up to £350.00 to fix! (With no guarantee that they could, but would still charge me!). I had tried my local garage where I've been taking my other cars to for years and he couldn't even find the fault, let alone fix it! Hence going to the nearest reasonable BMW place, which he suggested.... I had tried all the advised fixes, (easy and others) and nothing worked. And what with the MOT coming up in literally a few weeks I just wasn't prepared to take the chance of ending up with a car that was worthless. I did not take the decision likely and when someone offered me nearly twice what I paid only a fool would say no, or call it 'madness' to refuse the offer! And it is right that everything works, but it just doesn't do it for me I'm afraid. You'll just have to call me a fool for liking BMW MICK 330 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontpannic Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 In all fairness Bill, could you not have found someone local to you from the forum with INPA on their laptop? Could have found the issue with the airbags in minutes. Interesting Honda though. Never been a fan of the 'run of the mill' Honda's (prefer Type-R's and JDM imports) however yours is a rare and odd one, and I quite like it.
