Description
UPDATE : Have had a few questions about the previous MOT fails with regards to the Airbags - The previous owner (son of the elderly parents) took the car out of covered storage after they became unable to drive and it failed on restraint system (airbag light) in Jan 2025. He then sold it to me in May 2025, as he was moving abroad. As the car had no MOT I took it to my usual garage who also failed it on the airbag light. After they did a diagnostics, recommended changing the airbag module under the centre console. After fitting and coding this sorted out the problem.
2003 BMW 316i SE – ONLY 42, 000 MILES – Excellent Condition
A rare opportunity to own a very low-mileage example of the much-loved BMW 316i SE. With just 42, 000 genuine miles, this car is in excellent condition and drives exactly as a BMW should – smooth, solid and refined.
Key Details:

The engine and gearbox are spot on, clutch is smooth, and the car feels tight and responsive thanks to the very low mileage. The bodywork is in superb condition for its age, and the interior is clean, tidy, and well cared for.
The car was originally owned by an elderly couple, husband, and then wife. Afterwards it was passed to their son for a short time, who then sold it to me as he was moving abroad.
These E46 models are becoming increasingly sought after, especially in this condition and with mileage this low. The car is 23 years old so has some small marks corresponding with the age of the car.
Ideal for someone looking for a reliable daily, a future classic, or a well-kept example of a timeless BMW.
