2005 55k BMW 325i se manual fsh 1 owner
Discussion
Morning, i recently came into ownership of a 2005 BMW 325i se manual with 55k on the clock, fsh and 1 owner from new. She runs well with no faults.
Don't know too much about these cars apart from its a straight six and is almost a classic of sorts and maybe desirable.
Body work is straight and never been involved in any bumps or accidents. Has been kept in garage all it's life and has very good interior.
My daily is a volvo 2litre d with 120k on the clock and I'm really contemplating making the switch into the BM....thoughts anyone 😉

Out of interest, as there was a model change-over in around 2005, is it the E46 or E90 version and does it have two or four doors?
I'd guess that it might be worth something between three and four grand.
If you use it daily, the things that are special about it, like the low mileage and the condition, will probably be affected, plus there may be some big bills like the cooling system and brake pipes (the rear ones run over the fuel tank).
It'll use more fuel than your diesel Volvo.

Its the e90 four door saloon in silver, the sentimental value also has some pull due to it being in the family for 20 years.
I don't daily much more than 100 miles a week these days and the cost of diesel is creeping higher. TAX is obviously higher on the BM however as you say the bills for upkeep could also impact the budget however I do know this car has been well looked after so is it worth the risk ahhh the dilemma ha ha

Congratulations, that's a fantastic car although I may be slightly biased.
I bought my manual 2005 E90 330i in 2019 and love it, which is why I still have it despite it being mad a Cat N in 2023 for a minor bump in the rear. It has done 131K miles now and still performs brilliantly. I've only had minor issues like a failed door lock and a split wire in the loom for the boot-lid. They have the bulletproof N52 engine that loves to rev.
I had a manual 2006 E91 325i for a year before that which had done 139K when I sold it as I just wanted a bit more performance.
Looking at how prices for good 6 cylinder petrol E46s seem to be climbing I reckon an E90 like yours would be well worth hanging onto and enjoying.
