Description

RARE BARBERAROT RED - EXCEPTIONAL SPEC - TIMING CHAIN REPLACED - 12 MONTHS MOT This is a unique E91 3 Series Touring. While most 318i models were basic fleet cars, this was a high-spec special order. Finished in stunning Barberarot Metallic, it stands out from common silver or black models. It offers the low insurance, fuel economy, and ULEZ compliance of a 2.0L engine, but with a luxury cabin usually reserved for flagship models. This facelift (LCI) model looks modern and sharp, ready for many more miles of enjoyable driving. Mechanical peace of mind is the priority. This N43 engine has been meticulously maintained according to its specific service schedule. The vital and expensive timing chain was replaced at 92,000 miles. The rear differential has been professionally refurbished, and it has a new genuine BMW NOx sensor, oil pressure valve, and thermostat. It comes with a 12-month MOT expiring April 2027, with brand-new brake pads just fitted to all four wheels. This car has been maintained with an open-wallet approach, addressing every common BMW concern before it became an issue. The factory specification separates this from the typical "rep-mobile". It features a fully functional Panoramic Glass Sunroof and Adaptive Xenon headlights that turn with the steering - options almost never found on a 318i. Inside, there are heated Dakota Black leather seats with full electric memory and lumbar support, offering a premium environment far beyond standard SE spec. The factory-fitted retractable tow bar is a rare addition that stays hidden behind the bumper until needed. The car also features front and rear parking sensors, cruise control, and the BMW Professional audio system with DAB radio plus 6-disc autochanger in the boot. Provenance is exceptional. It includes two keys and a comprehensive ring binder with every receipt and service record. Recent servicing includes a fresh oil change at 106,000 miles using premium Shell oil. The car drives exactly as a well-cared-for BMW should: tight, quiet, and responsive. It is in very good condition for its age and is ready for the next owner with no immediate maintenance required. It is fully ULEZ compliant, making it a sensible daily driver while the estate body offers great versatility for families or lifestyle hobbies. If you want a reliable, high-spec Touring that stands out and has had all the major work done, this is it. Viewing is highly recommended. First to see will buy.
