I have owned this car since August 2003 and although some people didn't take to the looks of this particular model, I for one quite liked it as it was a little different.

Exterior

The exterior is in very good condition, however, the front bumper and bonnet could do with a little work due to stone chips. I've tried to show in the photos but I didn't do very well.

Interior

The interior is also in very good condition. The grey cloth trim has no rips or tears and the original floor mats are still in good order. I have repainted the dash and door handle trims as the original matt black finish was a bit dull. I have also recently upgraded the head unit to an aftermarket unit but I still have the original BMW Business unit and this will be going back in.

Mechanicals

This has been a very reliable car and has been serviced regularly. The service book is fully stamped, however it's not BMW stamps in the book. ( I can provide photos if required).

My dad is a mechanic so all servicing and repairs have been carried out at the garage where he works. I also have all the previous MOT's whilst in my possession. The only major work to be done on this car, whilst I have owned it, other than routine servicing was a coil pack, a new rear spring as it broke (a common fault on E46's) and a new crank sensor.....and that's it!!!

The 1796cc engine isn't going to light any fires but it's runs well and the idle is steady. It's pretty frugal too as the photo below shows....

Price

I wasn't sure where to start with this but Glass's value a private sale at £3950...so with the current state of the front bumper due to the stone chips, I'm looking for around £3000 ono but I am open to sensible offers.

I will be sad to see this little workhorse go but now is the time

Plates now transferred.

Thanks for reading.

Looks like a great well cared for car in excellent condition given it's age & mileage.

Yes, have all MOT's since 2003. Only 115hp engine

Won't light any fires off the line but cruises well on the motorway.
