Drive belt = Alternator belt.

They were a stunning looking car with massive road presence.

Lovely looking car imo, these 1 series coupes 👍

Nice car...said somebody 16 years ago. The bangers are always great content, we get it. 👍 On a serious note if you are buying private (and most of us watching this are private buyers right?) never buy a car unseen. Don't be lazy, go and have a walk round. Check the fluids. If (like in this case) there is no oil, that is bad. It means the current owner is a bum, or all the oil has leaked out (both scenarios bad). No coolant? Bad. Bald tyres? You guessed it. Bad. If it passes the above tests, fine, THEN you can do an online check but not before. It's okay, don't thank me for my brilliant advice. 😉

Took me 4 months to sell one of these on a 2013 plate with mega spec!😅 Great looking and driving cars!

Hopefully this car won’t be too much of a disaster for you Joe. It certainly looks like good, and you’ve repaired the interior mirror lol.

Recently brought a 2011 m sport coupe has full bmw service history , love this car 😊

I had a 12 plate 123d m sport coupe.....cracking little car.

Brave man. Looks wrong to me even without seeing it. Great content though. Superb channel

I actually like the car, if I had the money and time, would have been a nice project car. Love your honest car reviews, would it be worth doing the work and videoing it and selling it or raffling it off? I mean it is something I have never thought of owning, but I love the looks of it.

The drive belt is not a timing chain. It's a completely different part 😢

Great vid of what not to buy at the autction and to pay attention to those reports. ive never really like the 1 series, im more into the 3 series tbh. the 1 series to me is like a stupid small car if your a big bloke and specially if youve got wide shoulders!

A great car for the money. I guess and hope you are lucky!

Very enjoyable video Joe, even though the content was a tad familiar re vehicle condition. You obviously have a plumber's knowledgeable eye when buying cars. Water leak should be wee buns for you. Keep up your great work. All the best.🙂

how long as it been driven that long on low oil and properly ragged i defo wouldn't buy that and 4 different tyres 😂on a bmw

Vehicle score doesn't suggest timing chain failure is "something to look out for" on an early n47 engine? 😅😅😅 dosent look too bad overall though, might of just been so long since a service that the oil has gone down but likely turbo or valve stem seals. Re coolant, check the egr cooler hasnt failed.

Hope these vehicle score sponsors don't become as recycled car vertical sponsors are elsewhere... KZread will need to bring a block button on certain sponsors soon

Ahh, none of that dodgy zooming

If the oil was thar low you can bet your dollar its burning oil

If its a write off then it's almost a given that the service history is fake because it never ever goes with the car at salvage auction
