2003 BMW 3 SERIES

It is with some regret that I am listing my 325Ci for sale, following 2.5 years of ownership.

Originally a Park Lane car delivered in December 2003, I bought it from Daniel James (specialist) in March 2023, on 88k miles. Now just shy of 98k miles. Came with a desirable spec... 3 pedals, HK audio, xenons, FSH etc. It’d clearly been well cared for and garaged for much of its life (which I have kept up).

In my ownership, the car has had:

- New brake discs all round

- New idler pulley

- New coolant tank

- New tie rods

- New control arms

- Michelin PS5s all round

- Tracking

- New radiator

- New coolant pipes

- New front brake calipers

- New Bosch S4 battery just last month

- The only modification is a full Scorpion exhaust system with a secondary cat delete. This cost £1200 alone and was fitted just a few months ago. Sounds absolutely beautiful now.

I've spent a small fortune on it and, whilst I appreciate I won't make my money back, the result is that it's just too nice/impractical to live with as my only car. Not least because it's tucked up in a garage from October til March!

The car had its Inspection II last year at Munich Legends and has also been worked on by Hack Engineering and BMR Performance. It often draws compliments from those who work on it… “don’t see many like this anymore” etc! Not a spot of rust underneath the car.

Bad bits… interior C pillar fabric has sagged on both sides. Common problem on these. It's on the to-do list, but I just haven’t gotten around to it. Also, there’s a swirl mark in the paint on the bonnet from an incident involving some slightly over-zealous machine polishing. Otherwise, the paintwork is in exceptional condition, barring an age-related mark here and there.

This is unlike 99% of E46 M-Sports and I am not in any rush to sell it. So, serious enquiries only, please. The private plate will come off, but I will include a nice Richbrook indoor car cover.

£7500 - car is located in Ditchling, Sussex.

Thanks,

Ollie
