Here is a very special car that we have to reluctantly let go
Bought in July 2018 with 55k miles on the clock.
We’ve done around 13k miles and she’s on 68,500 now.
It’s been a 3rd car special daysZ
I’m a BMW enthusiast but promised to leave this car standard, as it’s just so good out of the box.
The only change has been moving Michelin PS5 non run flat tyres which improved the ride, handling and smoothness dramatically. They’ve covered around 1k miles and are like new.
The car has not wanted anything when it come to maintenance using genuine BMW parts or OEM equivalent only.
Even the new battery is a BMW item.
It’s had lots do preventative maintenance and servicing:
When we bought it had a gearbox service using the genuine ZF kit changing fluid and oil sump as preventative maintenance.
In summer 2023 the car had a lot of work done for the common issues at BM Sport Bexleyheath:
Rocker cover gaskets replaced (both banks)
Aircon service and new drive belt
Oil pressure sensor and switch
Genuine BMW 110ah battery
Fresh battery connector elbow
Front suspension wishbone (both sides)
Wheel alignment
The car has been maintained and documented history with backing invoices.
Whilst these cars are now very affordable it still drives and feel like a £50k car and it always been treated that way.
I’ve more pictures and service history invoices etc.
Car can been seen in the Gillingham, Kent.
Price £6,250

To add it’s recently been detailed as follows:
Prewash ,snowfoam, 3bucket method,tyers clean ,wheel barrel cleand, wheels face cleand ,seats steam cleand,seats reproteced ,footwells hovered, mats wet and dryed clean dashboard cleaned and reproteced, windows cleand and ceramic coated ,wheels ceramic waxed ,roof deep cleaned and rewater proofed ,engine bay clean and redressed, single stage machine polish,
paint glaze,finished with a 12 months ceramic wax.
Wheels: no cracks - I’ve replaced the wheels with a refurbished set that had no cracks or welds (one rear wheel had cracked and needed welding. When I found a set with no welds I replaced all 4 wheels and ditched the run flats that seem to cause more hassle than they are worth)
