M market watch

Post by tomscott » Fri Feb 24, 2017 1:26 pm

Don't know if anyone had seen this...

http://www.excelvehiclesales.com/detail ... -Morecambe

First one ive seen with front sensors :cry: what a place to put them. Looks a nice car otherwise with a bit of bartering. Was going to go have a look not sure about the front bumper. Obviously useful and quite difficult to see and quite good in terms of aftermarket, doesn't protrude very much.

Image

Looks like it may have had a little bump at the front going by the bend in the light to the left of the grille and the grille looks split.

Love carbon black and red. Been for sale for 2-3 months now. Probably because its not advertised anywhere. Its a late car being 08 so priced accordingly.

the grill has been wrapped, not very well, but cant see any split, just an overlap of vinyl. I can see the light reflection though. Would need a proper inspection. I hate aftermarket sensors though unless they are the completely flush ones.

The front bumper has a slant mounded in both sides on an M Tom, they're subtle but it's the slant you can see not a nudge. :thumbsup:

John, that's not what Tom was talking about. The bend in the light on the left hand side of the grill.

Ah yes I see what you mean, sorry Tom. I did think it odd he didn't know about the moulded slants. My mistake. :oops:

I'm interested to see if this one sells quickly at that price - mine is on the same mileage.

Interesting when you read the mot history and it failed an mot for snapped coil spring 2 years after it was first put on the mot advisories, likewise taking it for an mot with 3 tyres with noticeable wear or damage. And supplied by Munich legends previously. Looks tidy enough however but not a stand out colour as such.

Some advisories need to be taken with a pinch of salt.
