The Appeal

The E90 is a legendary bit of kit. For many, it was a logical conclusion from decades of BMW development, and in the present day? It's a tonic. Analogue, remarkably balanced and agile to its core - it's sporty yet practical motoring that continues to stir the soul and continues to attract plenty of demand from the sporty enthusiast.

This particular example has benefited from a number of mechanical renewals as outlined below. With a valid MOT until December 2026, it's ready and waiting for its lucky new keeper, who will no doubt find it very rewarding!
