At that sort of money you could afford to have the engine rebuilt and still have a bargain on your hands. Not that you'd probably need to.

It has crossed my mind if it's a Cat C/D at that price. Not that that would put me off but it would explain it.

2001 Z3 2.2 Topaz Blue (Trudy) - Keeper rebuilt from a write-off
2002 Z3 2.2 Titan Silver (Cookies) - Keeper rebuilt having been bought with a seized engine
2002 Z3 3.0 Sapphire Black (Peanut) - Keeper awaiting rebuilding having been bought as an abandoned project
Plus Willy, Kodak & Maycee - All 2.2 Sport projects. Yes, 6 is a lot of Z3s :)
Always happy to try and help with spares :)

A cat d is what I was thinking.i was reading in another advert where the dealer said he didnt know! Is there any defence for not knowing?

A dealer doesn't know?
If someone is trading cars on a regular basis then he has the means to find out and should know what he is selling at least for his own piece of mind without taking into account being an honest seller.
Most people have access to a vehicle history these days for a few pounds and there is nothing necessarily wrong with a cat c or cat d car provided that you are aware that is what you are buying.
If a dealer told me that he did not know if the car he was selling was subject to an insurance claim I would walk away because he doesn't have the only Z3 for sale and what else is he not telling you?
Of course, you could do your own homework and use what you find out to negotiate a favourable deal (even lower than the advertised price) if the car is worthy since he doesn't know the history, does he???

Curiosity got the better of me and I parted with £2 at mycarcheck.com. It's never been written off.

However the previous owner didn't hang on to it very long as it previously changed hands only in May.

You should be able to see the report for a few days at:

https://www.mycarcheck.com/customers/re ... /RBNXBKDC/

It's got a lot of MOT advisories but it's had these for a number of years so looks like ar*e covering by the MOT tester. They are just the usual thing anyway - slight rust on brake pipes and springs etc.

It might be that the trader bought it at the right price and wants to move it on quickly as it's the end of the season.

I would be taking a serious look myself if I had the readies.
