Description
2006 BMW 1 Series 2.0L Diesel Manual
1 previous owner, Full Service History from new. Rare spec (Sonora Metallic Paint, Mahogany wood trim). MOT to October 2026.
The car drives great and everything works as it should. I bought this car off an elderly couple who were the first owners and I have since put approx 50,000 miles on this car over 6 years. Selling as I have changed to an automatic to better suit my commute.
Nice specification. Cruise Control, Parking Sensors, Duel Zone Climate Control, Heated Electric Auto-Folding Mirrors, Beige Leather Interior, Sonora Metallic Paint Work, Mahogany Wood Trim.
Stacks of paperwork detailing all the work that has been carried out. In my ownership I have had all the major wear items replaced such as new shock absorbers all round, new disks and pads all round, and a new clutch and flywheel, plus more. For people familiar with BMWs, this car has the M47 engine which is known to be bulletproof and not require the timing chain to be replaced until circa 300,000-400,000 miles. Car had its last service in September at 146,752 miles.
I have a few spare bits like wiper blades and Haynes manual that the new owner can have.
Bodywork and paint is great for the age. The Sonora Metallic Paint looks amazing in the sun. A few marks to be expected for the age.
Fuel economy is great. I get 60-70mpg on a motorway run and approx 40mpg around town.
Over the next year I would expect it will need a new set of tyres. Mot flagged corroded brake lines on the rear. However this is only surface corrosion on the copper lines as they were completely replaced for new lines last year along with all the flexible brake lines.
2 remote keys, I have just taken my private plate off this car so new V5 is expected to arrive in the next couple days. However I can write a receipt of sale to the buyer should they wish to take it away sooner.
Please leave a message if I don't answer my phone. I am not often near my phone due to my work.
Any questions let me know!
