thinking about trading in the punto t jet ... walked into the bmw garage seen a nice 325 m sport and they offered me 4200 :confused:

the only reason im trading in is cause there is a lot of knockin noises coming from the front right of the car and it is grinding in 3rd which is a new sincro.... i have had 3 mechanics look at it for the knocking and they say let it get worse but sometimes with music full you can still hear it and feel it through the pedals
 
£4200 sounds good depending on age & mileage with those nasty noises.

unless you know whats wrong it seems silly selling it after all it could be a £14 drop link! what happens if you buy this bmw and few months down the line it makes a noise:confused:

spend a few quid and get it checked properly and not rely on hearsay then weigh up the options....IMO:)
 
Colleague at work has a BMW 320d 57 plate - 50,000 miles.

She has just forked out £4000 for a new clutch, DMF and gearbox etc.

She is still in shock and not sure if she loves it any more.

Worth checking yours out, life is not always happier with a change.
 
thats probably around what its worth though. in january, i considered trading my gp m-jet 1.3 for a m-jet 1.9. mines an 09 m-jet 1.3, with the 'gp' specification, mint condition, and they offered me 4500 for it. I decided to keep mine lol
 
had four mechanics look at it and one of them being the fiat specalist ... but i have just read about the wheel arch ... mine is also missing the lock but i think the knockin is to loud for it to be that but going to tie wrap it up haha and drop links and suspension side are all ok
