Nice car...said somebody 16 years ago. The bangers are always great content, we get it. 👍 On a serious note if you are buying private (and most of us watching this are private buyers right?) never buy a car unseen. Don't be lazy, go and have a walk round. Check the fluids. If (like in this case) there is no oil, that is bad. It means the current owner is a bum, or all the oil has leaked out (both scenarios bad). No coolant? Bad. Bald tyres? You guessed it. Bad. If it passes the above tests, fine, THEN you can do an online check but not before. It's okay, don't thank me for my brilliant advice. 😉
I actually like the car, if I had the money and time, would have been a nice project car. Love your honest car reviews, would it be worth doing the work and videoing it and selling it or raffling it off? I mean it is something I have never thought of owning, but I love the looks of it.
Vehicle score doesn't suggest timing chain failure is "something to look out for" on an early n47 engine? 😅😅😅 dosent look too bad overall though, might of just been so long since a service that the oil has gone down but likely turbo or valve stem seals. Re coolant, check the egr cooler hasnt failed.
Very enjoyable video Joe, even though the content was a tad familiar re vehicle condition. You obviously have a plumber's knowledgeable eye when buying cars. Water leak should be wee buns for you. Keep up your great work. All the best.🙂
Great vid of what not to buy at the autction and to pay attention to those reports. ive never really like the 1 series, im more into the 3 series tbh. the 1 series to me is like a stupid small car if your a big bloke and specially if youve got wide shoulders!
At least your a totally honest car dealer,,, but this just shows your under bit of pressure at times , got to keep your eyes open and I'm sure you do there is some crap out there...
Hope these vehicle score sponsors don't become as recycled car vertical sponsors are elsewhere... RUclips will need to bring a block button on certain sponsors soon
Hi Bro. God that Car doesn't look too to bad on Camera. Surely you can come with an Engine from somewhere else lol. I really like this Car. It's a Proper Shame about the Engine. But for £1k you can't go Wrong.Thanks so much for all your hard work bro 😅😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮😅
Vehicle score is a brilliant tool. Especially the free part!
Super handy!
They were a stunning looking car with massive road presence.
Nothing but the best with the 4 different tyres just made me cough my brew 😂
😅
Tyres from Temu!
Lovely looking car imo, these 1 series coupes 👍
I've just brought one absolutely love it😊
@@jayjay378378same I just bought one last month 3 weeks ago, had to join the group on Facebook 😂

Took me 4 months to sell one of these on a 2013 plate with mega spec!😅 Great looking and driving cars!
Hopefully this car won’t be too much of a disaster for you Joe.
It certainly looks like good, and you’ve repaired the interior mirror lol.
Recently brought a 2011 m sport coupe has full bmw service history , love this car 😊
Brave man. Looks wrong to me even without seeing it. Great content though. Superb channel
Thanks

Drive belt = Alternator belt.

The drive belt is not a timing chain. It's a completely different part 😢
I had a 12 plate 123d m sport coupe.....cracking little car.

Noted ✍️ appreciate the feedback!
We’ll try to keep new and exciting features coming out that are free so we don’t end up like the other guys.
I get your point but sponsors help support the channel and it’s nice to hear about an alternative to carvertical.
@@Vehiclescore👏🏻 you guys seem very decent
@@Kingdonnerkebab much appreciated! 💚
A great car for the money. I guess and hope you are lucky!
Drivebelt is at the front of the car...
White smoke means new Pope.

Ahh, none of that dodgy zooming

If its a write off then it's almost a given that the service history is fake because it never ever goes with the car at salvage auction
IF it went to a salvage auction that is
@@ShiftingMetal yes true
Likes these, I think she will scrub up well :-)
If the oil was thar low you can bet your dollar its burning oil
decent looking car
make a nice cheap car for a youngen!! sporty looking and diesel economy!!
Insurance cost would be massive
@@danmoney9932 yeah suppose it would be now I was thinking back when the world was sensible and I was young lol!!!
