BMW 116d F20 - 2012 - 68,500 Miles - Manual - Fully Reconditioned Engine
BMW 1 Series 116d F20 (2012) with 68,500 miles, manual gearbox, presented in very lovely condition inside and out. This car belongs to my missus and has been used mainly as a motorway commuter, driving from Weston-super-Mare to Gloucester, so it has had an easy life with no short stop-start journeys.
Major Engine Work - Full Recondition (18/03/2025)
The car has recently had a full professional engine reconditioning carried out by a specialist, not a patch repair. The engine was completely stripped, rebuilt and tested for long-term reliability.
Work carried out includes:
Engine fully removed, stripped, cleaned and rebuilt
New crankshaft fitted
Engine block machined, surfaced and polished
New timing chain kit installed
New oil pumps fitted
Cylinder head polished with new OEM oil seals
Valve seats machined and valves lapped
Cylinders inspected and machined to factory specification
Upgraded gas-nitrided piston rings fitted
New OEM big end and main bearings
New OEM-spec head gasket
All bolts torqued to manufacturer specification
Engine oil pressure and compression tested
Additional Major Work:
Turbocharger replaced
Full injector set replaced
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) professionally cleaned
Since the engine rebuild, the engine oil has been changed early (well before 5,000 miles) for extra peace of mind.
The vehicle has undergone extensive testing and all systems are functioning correctly. The car starts, runs and drives exactly as it should smooth, quiet and responsive, with excellent fuel economy. It also benefits from a new matching set of tyres, providing even wear, good road holding and removing an immediate expense for the next owner.
A great opportunity to buy a well-maintained BMW with the expensive engine work already done, offering reassurance and reliability for the next owner.
