Description
Well looked after BMW E46 325Ci in Silver Grey with the 2.5L petrol engine. It's been used as a daily driver as well as project car, so it's been driven, maintained, and upgraded over time. The car has had a fair few upgrades, but it also has a few known issues, which are reflected in the price. Decent mileage for its age at around 89,300 miles, with 3 previous owners (excluding me) and 1 key. Overall it's in great condition with several features such as memory seats, rear mirror dimming and also comes with a spare tyre.
Just a few age-related marks, and some slight bubbling on the wheel arches, which is common on E46s. Drives great and is a solid car with plenty done.
Maintenance, Upgrades & Modifications
This car has been well looked after, with a number of maintenance items and upgrades completed since summer 2024:
* CCV valve replaced

* Anti-roll bar bushes replaced
* Gravity Performance upgraded exhaust back box (not very loud)
* Rear brake pads replaced (Brembo)
* Screen wash reservoir motor replaced
* Windscreen wipers replaced with Bosch wipers

* Window tints fitted (rear-view and back two windows)

Known Issues (Reflected in Price)
There are a few things worth noting:
* Occasional engine light, showing a lean code / oxygen sensor-related fault but clears itself after 5 minutes of driving (I recommend having this looked at)
* Increase in revs when heater controls are first turned on (settles after ~5 minutes)
* Handbrake effectiveness reduced - cable likely needs adjustment; rear handbrake pads may also benefit from replacement
* Minor oil leak - valve cover gasket included but not yet fitted
* Driver-side window has a minor rattle
* Rear parking sensors not operational
* Rear passenger internal light does not work - requires bulb replacement
* General/common cosmetic wear please request further pictures via message
