    Had an E92 335i for 7 years. Trim peeling and seat belts not handing over are common issues. As somebody said, ironing starch is claimed to work wonders on the seat belts. I just lived with the peeling trim. Folding mirrors weren't standard and I think those seats are standard on the SE.

    BMWs of this age did not come with any jacks or compressor and foam, there where using Run flat tyres. Nice cars , the Engine is sat back to allow them to put an inline 6 cylinder engine.
    Great that you can respray the car yourself, and save yourself some money.

    A funny thing happened to me with cadwell park back in the latish 90's.
    I drove down this straight narrow gravel lane near cadwell once and through a big open gate and onto what i thought was a nice winding country road.
    Went further down the road nice little house on the left then realised where i was.
    I was on the cadwell track itself before the start finish line with my astra sri lol.
    I then quickly reversed up the track and back through the gate.
    Luckily that day nobody was racing on the track and nobody approached me haha.
    Would be nice to see an astra gsi or sri mk4 for your channel phil.
    Top video.

      There is 2 astra sri turbo's on ebay 2 black ones with low mileage.
      A bit expensive though and you would not make anything on them i guess.
      They are struggling to sell as well.
      There is a silver one though with VXR engine and stage 3.5 tune.
      Could be good for your channel for a track day.
      I have got a rare MK4 3 door 1999 astra 2.0 16v sri in red only 96 left on the road now.

    Am sure you know but the rubber peeling on steering wheel etc comes off easy with a bit of rubbing and leaves a nicer shiney plastic, also the headlight washer jet covers fall off because of the small water piston behind that makes it shoot out, it's just dirt within the piston usually and easy cleaned. Seat belt butler is an easy fix also, it's a small piece of plastic within. Easy to sell cars to be fair you should be ok with this one.

    Sadly you’ve walked into the trap the dealer wanted out of. I grant you its decades since i worked for a main dealer but the ONLY cars we blocked were the dogs that we could not economically refurb for retail. Generally retail able cars are moved to traders who supply used car retailers, avoiding the auction. Thankfully the car is potentially desirable but i would be surprised if you can make anything off it. It’s a pity as if someone was buying it for themselves it would make a cheap car when sorted. Still as you say its a learning curve. The main thing is keep the cash flow going!
