This rare 73,000-mile manual car boasts a 3-litre 6-cylinder inline turbo diesel engine. It features the M57 engine, considered one of BMW's best, delivering 270bhp and achieving an average motorway fuel economy of 50mpg. The car has been chipped to match the performance of the 530 model while improving economy. It comes with two keys and a full service history, the last service being at 70,000 miles. This included all the car's filters and fluids changes and an air con recharge. The car is in excellent condition, having been lovingly maintained. It recently underwent a full main dealer BMW health check to complete an outstanding recall for a battery cable. The check passed with flying colours, and I can share the dealership health check video upon request. The car has no corrosion, having been garaged most of its life, and is in solid mechanical condition. It's recently been anti-corrosion treated underneath to extend its lifespan. New Brembo brake pads and drilled discs have been fitted, along with upgraded LED sidelights, tinted windows, and H&S front lowering springs (the original springs are available if you'd like to revert). The rear features air suspension for a controlled ride regardless of vehicle load, with manual adjusters for the ride height. The boot lid wiring harness has been professionally upgraded to prevent the common fault with this model. Genuine BMW "style 32" alloy wheels are fitted, and the tyres are nearly new. The only issues are a few scratches on the bumpers and a scratch on the driver's seat. A six-disc CD changer is installed and can be converted to an Apple or Android system if desired. I'm a well-regarded professional mechanic with experience in moto GP and McLaren, who has meticulously maintained this car and used it as my family car. Now, I reluctantly have to sell it for financial reasons. This car has only had two real owners, including myself. The third owner was a car dealer who used the car personally before handing it over to me. It's a solid, good car that's very smooth and comfortable to drive, with ample space inside..
