The Interior
- Sand beige leather
- Driver’s seat refurbished
- Smart overall condition
- Air conditioning
- Multifunction sports steering wheel
Inside, this BMW is a lovely place to be with the sand beige interior giving the cabin a light and airy feel, regardless of whether the roof is raised or lowered.
The factory air conditioning still functions and features automatic climate control. The vendor informs us that the driver’s seat has been refurbished at some point to a high standard.
It matches the remainder of the interior well, both in colour and finish. A nice touch is the optional multifunction sports steering wheel which shows some signs of wear but no damage we could see.

There is some minor damage in the rear of the interior, including some small nicks in the back of the front passenger seat and on the rear passenger armrest.
There is also a crack in the driver’s side door speaker, although the stereo and CD changer still function correctly. The carpeting and boot are both very clean and tidy, with little wear to speak of.

The Exterior
- Mystic Blue
- Smart alloy wheels
- Blue soft top roof in good order
On the outside, this 318Ci is very well presented, finished in Mystic Blue which really complements the sand beige interior.
The soft top roof works well and we couldn’t see any signs of UV damage. The 7-spoke alloy wheels are also in fine order, as are the tyres which all have a fair quantity of tread remaining.
Underneath, this BMW looks to be particularly smart.
