Recently work includes new wishbones, bushes and droplinks each side for the MOT. I also had centre propshaft bearing replaced just before the MOT, too. The front bumper, spoiler and bonnet were recently resprayed (November 2011) due to stone chipping. I&#8217;ve also just changed the headlamp lenses as they were starting to look tired due to stone-chipping as well as changing both the outer and inner rear light units due to age cracking and water ingress. The gearbox was fully rebuilt to the tune of nearly \u00a32.5k in September 2010. The invoice is included in the history. Mechanically and electrically, there are no faults. It drives superbly and everything works as it should. Physically, there are two small spots of rust which have been treated with Kurust. One is on the back of the car under the tailgate (Common E46 rust point) and is about the size of a 5p piece. The other is on the driver door in the middle, right above the rubbing strip and is about the size of a 50p piece. Neither areas have broken paint. The driver seat bolster is worn in the usual manner along with part of the armrest. The wheels are original so would benefit from a refurb. Appreciably, there are a few cosmetic things that need doing which I&#8217;ve not gotten around to yet, but it&#8217;s one of the best specced B3&#8217;s out there &#8211; especially with the Individual interior.<br \/>\nThe bulk of the mileage by myself and previous owners is motorway use (I&#8217;ve done nearly 30k in the last 12 months) so it&#8217;s now about average in terms of it&#8217;s age.<br \/>\nCraig Sterry<br \/>\nWest Midlands<br \/>\nFrances The Mute @ pistonheads.com<\/p>\n<p>presented by owner Damian on fastsaloons.com 6\/2013<\/p>\n<p>Date tested 28 March 2017<br \/>\nMileage 157,490 miles<br \/>\nMOT test number 6965 6059 4406<br \/>\nTest location TURNERS TEST CENTRE LTD<br \/>\n11A BARRY ROAD<br \/>\nLONDON  SE22 0HX<br \/>\nExpiry date 29 March 2018<br \/>\nAdvisory notice item(s)<br \/>\n    nearside front tyre outer wall slightly deteriorated<br \/>\n    nearside front wheel slightly rusted<\/p>\n<p>Still registered 3\/2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assumed to be JM23030 based on color, interior and production date Registered as Alpina Incorrect VIN: WAPB333C009NE4408 Switchtronic, Electric Sunroof, Heated Electric Sports Seats, SAT NAV, TV, Cruise Control, Rear Electric Blind, Harmon Kardon Hi-Fi with 6 CD Changer, Xenon Lights, 18&#8243; Alpina Alloy Wheels, Electric Folding &#038; Dipping Mirrors.
