Description
MOT: Until 3rd October 2026
Location: Margate
Selling my exceptionally well-maintained BMW X3. The car was originally prepared for taxi use, meaning absolutely no expense was spared on its mechanical condition. Every major potential issue with this engine has been professionally addressed.
Unfortunately, due to a recent policy change by the Thanet District Council restricting licenses to vehicles under 7 years old, I can no longer use it for work. It has been sitting on my driveway as I use a Tesla for my shifts. Mileage will not go up as the car is completely unused and just sits there. I genuinely love this vehicle and it breaks my heart to see it sit, which is the only reason I am selling it.
Over 4,000 Spent on Major Mechanical Overhaul (14,000 km / 8,600 miles ago):
To ensure absolute reliability for the long haul, these parts were replaced entirely:
Full Timing Chain Kit (The notorious N47 timing chain issue is completely solved)
New Oil Pump
New Turbocharger
All associated gaskets, seals, and consumables.
Obsessive Oil Change Routine:
Since the rebuild, the engine has been meticulously flushed and maintained:
1st Oil Change: Just 4,000 km after repair (to flush initial debris).
2nd Oil Change: 10,000 km after that.
The car has only covered 400 km since the last service ready to drive 9,600 km (6,000 miles) before its next routine oil change.
Premium Interior & Tech Upgrades:
Starlight Headliner: 1,000 twinkling stars on the ceiling.
Full Ambient Lighting: Custom lights across dashboard, doors, and footwells. (Both starlight and ambient lights are phone app-controlled).
Upgraded Infotainment: Premium 12-inch widescreen display with Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto.
Carbon Fiber Interior Accents for a sporty, premium look.
Great Factory Specification & Features:
xDrive Intelligent Four-Wheel Drive (4x4)
Adaptive Bi-Xenon Headlights (Curving with steering + High beam assist)
Heated Front Seats & Cruise Control
Dual-Zone Climate Control
Auto-Dimming Rear View & Side Mirrors
Auto-Hold & Start-Stop Function
Automatic Rain-Sensing Wipers
Very good tyres all around; wheels in excellent condition.
Condition:
Mechanical: Top-tier, completely faultless, NO errors/warning lights. Drives beautifully.
Visual: As a 15-year-old vehicle, it has minor age-related wear on bodywork, as expected.
Structurally and mechanically, with services every 8k-10k km, this car will easily run another 100,000+ km.
