BMW, 3 SERIES, Saloon, 2012, Manual, 1995 (cc), 4 doors

Description

Taken in part exchange but I have driven it for over 1000 miles, including a 5 hour journey and it drove perfectly.

In generally great cosmetic condition for age, a few minor issues detailed at the end.

2.0L Diesel with MSport package which is just styling really including the front black grille and other sporty things.
6 speed manual, with cruise control, infotainment screen, sport mode and much more.

Tax: £35 per year
MOT due: 30/07/2026
184bhp
Top Speed: 146mph
0-60: 7.5 seconds
61.4mpg combined (40-45mpg in normal everyday use is to be expected)
Clutch is good, gear changes perfect, firm and smooth.
Push button start, the key fob is used just to open and lock the doors.

For transparency, here are all of the issues that I have identified with the car, I can't see there being any others given the testing I have done and they are mostly just minor:
- Drivers door side mirror lacquer peel from paint, you can buy mirror covers for £10 on Amazon in black and I think it would look really nice adding to the red/black colour scheme, there is also a small amount of lacquer peel on the roof where roof bars can attach, probably not worth doing anything with or you could put a strip to protect it.
- Rear driver's side bumper scuff and small cracks (pictured), someone has clearly scuffed the bumper on a wall or similar, I think a good polish would get most of the white scuff marks out which would make it almost invisible unless you are looking close.
- One of the bulbs seems to have gone and is showing side/daytime light fault (pictured)
- Air Con needs regassing.
- Drivers side front can be a little hard going over bumps, a new shock absorber would fix that, not a huge job and drivable as it is.
- The previous owner had a private plate on and did a pretty poor job of trying to put the old plates back on so there is some residue around the rear plate and on the plate on the front, just needs a little bit of solvent and a scrub with a cloth, I would also take the rear plate off and put it about an inch higher.

Overall a good car, runs well, I trust it and I can sleep at night selling it so I would be happy to recommend it.

Happy to take part exchange for cars, vans, motorbikes or mobility scooters.
