Description
2008 BMW 325i M Sport Convertible (E93), 6-speed manual, finished in Le Mans Blue with grey leather. Approx. 88,000 miles, although this will rise slightly as the car is still in use. 5 owners, 2 keys.
I've owned the car with the intention of keeping it long-term and have spent a significant amount getting it mechanically up to standard. It has been inspected by a BMW specialist and I've addressed the outstanding mechanical items identified during my ownership. No warning lights or known engine/drivetrain faults, and I'm happy to show an OBD scan.
Recent work includes front discs and pads, brake pipes, rear coil springs, four-wheel alignment, oil servicing and other suspension work. Extensive folder of invoices, although some earlier service history is missing.
Fitted with Index 11 injectors. I don't have the invoice as these were fitted before my ownership, but the injector numbers can be physically shown on inspection.
Factory spec includes M Sport package, M Sport suspension and aero kit, 18-inch staggered Style 193M alloys, heated electric memory sports seats, Professional Navigation/iDrive, Xenon headlights with washers, rear parking sensors, cruise control, Bluetooth, automatic climate control, aluminium trim and High Gloss Shadow Line.
Subtle non-factory changes include M3-style wing mirrors, black kidney grilles and M Sport door/floor projection lights.
The E9x feels like one of BMW's last properly analogue 3 Series generations, with hydraulic steering, rear-wheel drive, a naturally aspirated straight-six and a manual gearbox. It has far more steering weight and feedback than most newer cars and feels balanced, predictable and engaging without needing to be driven hard.
The car presents very well for its age, with some normal age-related marks and wheel kerbing. Interior is also very clean.
The main fault is the folding-hardtop hydraulic pump. The roof is currently inoperative but fully closed, secured and water tight, and has been professionally diagnosed by a BMW specialist as requiring a replacement hydraulic pump. Diagnosis paperwork is available. This is reflected in the asking price.
MOT until 7 November 2026. For an agreed serious buyer I'm happy to put it through a fresh MOT, and a new tyre will be fitted before collection.
