The Appeal
Purchased by the Seller in December 2021 at approximately 67,000 miles he has added a mere 4,000 miles since, using it mainly for a short commute to work. He reports that it drives as it should with plenty of power, and being a diesel it has a mountain of torque. It was a Category N car when he purchased it, although he believes the damage was superficial.
Having only passed his test a couple of months before he purchased the BMW he admits that the scratch along the nearside is of his doing! The paperwork with the car is limited to a V5c in his name and an MoT certificate.
Although there is no invoice on file he assures us that the car has been serviced with oil and filter changes, and he says it drives beautifully, without no warning lights and no untoward noises.
With M-Sport badging and bodykit the BMW looks the part, with minor marks that are only obvious close up. Perfect for someone who would like a real M-Sport 3 series with the economy of a diesel and plenty of performance as well.
The 318 diesel engine is recognised as the pick of the bunch in the E90 series. More economical than the petrol engines, it provides plenty of power that makes for an entertaining drive. The 3 Series has always been the defining car of the compact executive class. Loaded with plenty of desirable options as standard, and with an M badge this one offers a great driving experience combined with exceptional value!
