Description
It's not mint but it is a handsome appreciating classic with a clean history and the best engine. Relatively unmodified with stock engine, suspension and interior.
Don't let the milage put you off:
New engine fitted by BMW at 85k miles
Underside refurb 5 years ago
Engine refresh at same time
Recent MOT with no advisories
The good:
Drives spot on
Msport so looks better and msport steering wheel.
328i, it's the engine you want
Manual with short shifter
K&N induction kit
330ci big brake conversion
Genuine m3 wheels in beautiful condition.
Colour matched hard top
LSD (apparently, I've never checked)
Retrimed msport steering wheel
Not so good:
Paint is original, was always my next job, never got to it.
Tiny rust spots on nose cone, needs a bolt in replacement.
Fully auto roof works but needs a little assistance sometimes
Steering rack seems to have small leak.
Central locking works but I have lost the unlock remote. I assume you could code another key but never really bothered me.
Aftermarket cat-back exhaust is slightly droney at 2k rpm but I forgive it for the overrun burble you get. I still have the stock exhaust if you want it.
No swaps unless you have an MEV Exocet. This car has been fantastic but I've got my heart set on a track car and have no spare parking so this has to go.
No group viewings, more than two people will be turned away.
Test drives by me unless you can show me comp insurance.
