Always fancied one of these, happened to land upon this one cheaply as it has no tax or MOT and is on a Q reg, I suspect it has been reshelled at some point. All the 318is bits are there though and it drives lovely, much nicer than my previous 320i E30. I plan to get it roadworthy, run around in it for a bit before deciding whether I'll keep it.

Looks really nice. Parking leaves a little to be desired though!
Is there any way of getting it off a Q plate?
Quick question re:towing. Do you have an old licence or taken an additional test? If not how do you manage without?
I just rolled it down the drive a bit when washing it, I normally hate being parked wonky as it looks messy.Is there any way of getting it off a Q plate?

The V5 says the number's untransferable unfortunately but I'm looking into it. Seems ironic as my mate's Tiger 7 kit car has kept the original "M" reg from the donor car.

How much did this one set you back if you don't mind me asking?
It was a bit of a bargain probably due to the Q plate and lack of history, can't believe the previous owner was considering scrapping it at one point. Mechanically it's great though so I don't care about one letter on the reg number.sniff diesel said:

and I also remember seeing your 964 Took it in for an MOT today:
It failed on a couple of brake pipes, exhaust back box deteriorated, headlight bulb and a small bit of welding on the rear footwell the size of a 50p coin. Unfortunately during the emissions test a leak from the water pump became apparent and on the way home the heater was only blowing lukewarm so I suspect it needs a new water pump too.
With it being a Q reg it's always going to be worth less so I'm not sure it's going to be worth fixing so I've put it up for sale as spares or repair. If I get no interest then I'll have to break it for spares to get some money back on it.
