This is a wonderful example of a 325i, it is truly stunning and has to be seen to be fully appreciated. With excellent handling characteristics, a very nicely balanced platform and plenty of power from the 2.5 litre engine, this car is a joy to drive. A wonderful blend of performance and luxury, in a visually timeless exterior.
A lovely Japanese import, brought into the UK in May 2021 and registered August 2021. There is no service history prior to its import however there is paperwork showing a full service that was carried out in August 2021, at Valley Cars and Classics Ltd. Also present is a certificate from the British Independent Motor Trade Association which conducted a search of the Japanese Auction House database confirming that the milage of the car is accurate and original.
Stunning black leather interior with memory driver seat, this is an absolute pleasure to drive boasting loads of comfort and luxury. The condition is absolutely stunning, with very few miles covered for its age, and the miles it has covered this interior has clearly been very well looked after. The controls, gauges and surfaces are all in stunning shape, and very clean, with the exception of a small hole in the dashboard where a screen was mounted, which is now covered with a rubber grip mat for holding mobile devices etc.
The left centre air vent also has a small piece of plastic removed for wiring for the previously installed screen. And there is some scratch marks on one of the centre console compartment covers. That being said, aside from a few very small blemishes, this interior is exceptional. The car is also fitted with a BMW CD changer in the boot, Kenwood DVD player. It also has a full tool kit, and a can of puncture repair tyre sealant.
The exterior of this car is equally stunning, with the glorious Imola red paint gleaming and very clean, with almost no blemishes, this car is a sight to behold. One small oddity about the car is that the boot lid doesn’t always latch when closing, however using the key to close it rectifies the issue. All of the lights are clean and clear, the glass in great condition, and four new tyres adorn the lovely 17 inch wheels, all of which are in great shape. It also has the factory-option sunroof fitted as well which is a lovely touch for warmer days! Clearly a very well kept car.
This vehicle is excellent underneath and under the bonnet, with obvious signs that it has been very carefully looked after and serviced throughout its life. A comprehensive service was carried out upon its arrival to the UK including complete oils and filters changes, a full set of spark plugs and drive belts, airbag pipes renewed, and four new tyres. The filler cap was also replaced. The milage at the time of the service was 48,878. The Air conditioning is currently not blowing cold air, so it may need a Re-gas. Overall, this car wants for nothing mechanically.
This is a truly stunning, mint-condition 325i, with very few remaining of this age in this condition and milage. A rare opportunity to own a truly exceptional example of the marque.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
