Hi there,
I am selling my beloved 330d Touring as I no longer commute by car. I would like it to go to a fellow forum member but will advertise next week on auto trader too.
I am a car enthusiast and non smoker/no pets/no kids and drive her very carefully. I have average 44mpg over the last ~10,000 miles, and one photo shows 61.4mpg on a motorway trip a year ago when I last recent the computer. Mainly A road commutes, little city traffic.

I'm the second owner & bought it in May 2011.
Car registered July 2009.
It's an 330d Touring LCI in a desirable manual (took ages to find one originally) in black with lovely red/brown leather interior. It's the SE spec with 17" wheels and being LCI has the revised suspension now designed with Run Flats in mind so very quiet and smooth.
241 bhp, 384 lb/ft torque. 0-60 6.2secs, Top Speed limited to 155mph.
Front Heated Seats.
Dual Zone Climate Control
USB/Aux input
60:40 folding rear seats
Rain sensing wipers.
Rear Park Distance Beepers
Chrome door liners (not sure if standard)
17" twin spoke alloys. Recent rear tyres (lasted 30,000 miles) fronts are ~ half worn.
BMW Professional Audio (no Nav)
It's done 75,000 miles (going up slowly) and with recent oil change and service by an independent. Previous has been BMW main dealer service.
MOT until July 2015.
Car in excellent condition, although a couple of the alloys are slightly marked.

Have looked at prices online and What Car valuations and believe £12,000 ONO is reasonable for this lovely car.
I will put more photos up at the weekend but this is what I have at the moment - the photo of the mileage is old but shows I drive carefully and have had over 700 miles to a tank. I regularly spray back-to-black on the tyres as I think it looks great, and clean with rain water to avoid water marks.
Happy to show it in the evenings - I'm based in Godalming - but have just moved house so quite busy. I am not in a hurry to sell, and would like it to go to a good home.

Thanks for looking and happy to answer any questions that you have,
Regards,
Laurence

^ that's not an SE as it has manual aircon, cloth seats too.

The white car also looks ex-Police. Marks on dash and on door and seat plastics. Missing boot trim. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

OP, you'll have better luck on Pistonheads and Autotrader in my experience. Your car looks very well cared for, so hopefully you'll find the right buyer.

hi chaps,
Thanks - Yes I saw that one and was surprised at the price - I know when I was looking cloth seats felt cheap in the 3 series - so ones without leather were irrelevant to me. I went for that price as I looked at a few (higher priced dealer obviously) and also the valuations (screen grab attached I hope) which shows private price of £11600. I think webuyanycar would give me more than 9k so I don't know why that white one is so cheap.
One always thinks their car is worth more than it is, so I am open to lowering it somewhat. Will have a think!
Regards,
Laurence

Hi Matt,
Thanks - friends at the weekend couldn't believe it had 75k miles - but yes, it's on Autotrader and Pistonheads so we shall see. If only my wife drove a manual we could sell hers and keep mine!

i would not say leather interior adds £3000 to the asking price and a few marks on dash doesnt batter it down by 3k either but maybe that car is just one off cheapy. but it does look like your car is looked after

if you list it on ebay be prepared to get numptys offer you half of what youve got it on for...very frustrating lol

[lozzingers]

For sure Cupraraj, I'm not sure what is wrong with that white car but hope something is! I'm not going to put it on ebay, but have already had half price offers with dodgy links from pistonheads advert!

[lozzingers]

Price Reduction to £11,500 ONO.
I can't see how to edit the original so hope this is ok mods? Please do edit original if that's what I'm meant to do.
Thanks,
Laurence

Ignore the daft comments re price that white car is an ex-police car its cheap and nasty for that reason, going rate for these is significantly higher and you have priced yours reasonably (eg I just sold my 07 325d touring with 82k for more than the price that white one is listed at) but it took more than a month on autotrader to sell it.

Hi Surrey335i thanks for your support!
As of 5 minutes ago it's now been sold. Deposit coming tomorrow - thanks for all your +ve & -ve comments.
Now I shall be car-less for a while and will spend the running costs on track days while I decide what to do next! Haven't been without a car for 14 years...
