Description
For sale is my 2011 BMW 325d Convertible in white. This is the facelift model with the rarer 3.0-litre diesel engine, which was a big reason I bought it. The 3.0 diesel is generally seen as the more desirable choice over the smaller 2.0 diesel as it has a reputation for being the stronger, more reliable engine when properly maintained.
I am the third owner and the car has clearly been well looked after. The previous lady owner had it for most of its life, and it comes with lots of service history, which is not always easy to find on these now. It was last serviced around 6 months ago and has had 4 new tyres fitted within the last year.
The car has covered 99,400 miles and drives very well. Mechanically it has been kept stock, with no remap or silly modifications. The only exterior changes are subtle black M-style mirror covers, black kidney grilles and black indicators, which suit the white paintwork nicely. I also have the originals should you want them.
Inside, I have upgraded the iDrive screen to a modern touchscreen unit with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto. It works with the original BMW controls, so it makes the car feel much more up to date without ruining the factory look.
The folding hard-top roof works as it should, making it a great convertible for summer but still practical for the rest of the year. I have recently polished and waxed it myself, so it is looking fresh and ready for the new owner.
The only reason for sale is that I have recently had a second child. I originally planned to keep it as a weekend car, but with two children under two years old, it barely gets used now.
If you are buying purely on price, there will always be cheaper examples out there. This car is for someone who understands the difference between a well-kept 325d with the 3.0 engine, good history, sensible ownership and tasteful upgrades, versus a tired example that has simply been bought because it was cheap.
For the right buyer who knows these cars and wants a clean, honest one, this should make a lot of sense.
No swaps and no silly low offers please. Genuine buyers welcome.
