BMW E46 320Ci SE (2001)
Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2016 2:14 pm
Due to an impending change in family circumstances (twins!) I've got to change cars. Photos to come tomorrow when I'm home, the car is in South London / Surrey. Looking for £1,600
Topaz Blue Metallic
Cream leather interior with dark walnut trim
Manual gearbox
99,700 miles
Two owners, myself since about 78,000 and one guy before that (I bought it as a BMW Approved)
Full service history
This is the last of the 6-cylinder 2 litres (actually a 2.2L M54 engine) before they changed to 4-cylinders which means it sounds beautiful and is lovely and smooth.
Good Bits:
Excellent condition inside and out, particularly considering the age
Totally original - no boy racer extras or non-original 'upgrades'
Everything works as it should
Two important bits of work have been done: The rear brake pipe goes up and over the petrol tank and rusts, this has been replaced, as has the fuel pump (OEM part)
Cherished by me for the past 8 years and it shows
MOT'd in August
Bad bit:
Bit of vibration from the front left due to a pot hole, only noticeable at around 60-65mph. I would replace the wheel as it's £35 on eBay but given you can get a full set of M3 wheels for under £200 I'll let the new owner decide that. I had it checked by my mechanic and he said it's absolutely fine as it is.
