Description
Selling my 2012 BMW 118i M Sport Auto (1.6 petrol) in Sapphire Black with cream leather.
Unfortunately selling because I bought it for my girlfriend but when we went to arrange insurance, her quotes came back at £3,500/yr because she only has a year's driving experience which just isn't feasible. We jumped on buying this car because of how well it's been maintained and how high the spec is, so it's a real shame to let it go.
Spec is brilliant and very rare for an F20:
Heated electric memory seats (cream leather)
Electric sunroof
Pro Nav (big screen)
Adaptive cruise control, lane assist & front collision warning
Power folding heated mirrors
Front and rear parking sensors
Auto lights & wipers
If you know the 1.6 N13 engines in these, you'll know they need proper upkeep. Unlike a lot on the market, almost all the big expensive known jobs have already been done on this one:
Timing chain replaced @ 87k
Electric water pump replaced twice (most recently Feb '24)
Common oil leaks sorted (sump gasket, rocker cover gasket, crank seal, shaft seal)
Blower motor & regulator done
New drive belt, tensioners, coils, plugs, battery, and brakes done

Car is currently on ~125k miles and will go up slightly as I'm driving it until sold. If high mileage bothers you, it's probably not the car for you, but mechanically it's been sorted properly.
I will put a brand new 12-Month MOT on it for the buyer. Drop me a message with any questions. More photos coming shortly.
