Description
Genuine reluctant sale. I'm only selling because I've relocated abroad and the car has been sitting on my driveway - my brother is handling viewings and the sale on my behalf.
I've owned it for 3 years as my daily driver (since June 2023). I bought it from a private owner in Cornwall who'd used it as a cared-for second car, at just over 80k miles. I then moved to Cardiff, so most of my mileage has been steady motorway running rather than hard use.
The car:
N55 3.0-litre single-turbo straight-six, around 322 bhp as standard
8-speed Sport automatic with steering-wheel paddles
Dakota black leather
Full service history: 9 stamps from 2016 to Apr-2026 (listed below)
4 previous owners
MOT valid until Jan-2027
Notable specification:
Harman Kardon loudspeaker system
BMW Professional media package
Heated front seats; electric front seats with driver memory
Front and rear parking sensors plus reversing camera
Cruise control, high-beam assistant, Concierge Service
Fineline Stream Wood interior trim
Folding, auto-dimming door mirrors; sun protection glazing and package
Bluetooth with USB and full Bluetooth display
Work carried out (paperwork/receipts held):
Oct-2023 (~90k): coolant pipe replaced using a genuine BMW part - a well-known N55 item (receipt held)
~95k: oil filter housing gasket and valve cover gasket replaced at Joe Darby Cars (paperwork held)
These are the common N55 maintenance jobs, so they're already done for the next owner.
Condition - honest summary:
Bodywork is in very good order for the age. To be completely transparent:
Light scratches on the rear left that should polish out
A few stone chips on the left wing from motorway miles
Alloys would benefit from a light refurb to be perfect
The windscreen washer line is currently blocked (likely gunk) - the only outstanding job, and a minor one
Everything else works as it should. It's a mechanically sound, well-maintained car and a reliable daily driver.
Viewings and test drives - please read:
The car is currently uninsured as it's not being driven (since I'm abroad). If you want to test drive it, you'll need to arrange your own temporary/day insurance beforehand - I cannot let anyone drive it without that.
Viewings are only available to prospective buyers aged 25 and above.
