Description
Item description from the seller
£850 as is
£1200 with the spare door and suspension and cracked wheels
On the V5 it says
1. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SALVAGED BECAUSE THE ESTIMATED COST OF COMMERCIAL REPAIR WAS MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE.
so I believe its a Cat N and can be put back on the road once fixed
** UPDATE - I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DVLA AND I AM UNABLE TO GET THE PRIVATE PLATE REMOVED FROM THE
VEHICLE AS ITS NOT MOT'D AND CANT GET ROAD TAXED
SO THE SALE WILL COME WITH THE PRIVATE PLATE in order to retain the Private number plate you will need to
repair the car and get it MOT'd and taxed
I TRIED TO get the Plate on Retention by registering the vehicle in my own name
(NEW V5) in August 2025 So I could try and get he private
plate on retention but the DVLA rejected my application
recently
I am selling my Good Friends BMW 645ci ( I only just registered it in my name to attept to get the number plate on retention)
Originally my plan was to repair the car and get it back on the road then give it back to my Friend ,if I could resolve the valve
stem seals issue but the Forte method but did not work so I dont believe for me at least it worth repairing
The V5 and key are present
it will need to be trailered away although the car does drive and can be moved short distances .
I think this car would be better suited to a breaker as its worth more in parts rather than to someone who wants to fix it and get it
back on the road .
I will write about all the errors I have noticed (Please bare in mind I have never driven this car on the road and was given its as
an undriveable crashed car so I am am not sure how it drivers and if there are any other issues with it )
This sale is for spares or repair and its the buyers responsibility to check the vehicle for any further problems and also mistakes
with my listing
I therefore advise come and check the car yourself prior to buying it .
I have no reason to lie and I have no time to check the car
if you come to buy the car you can spend as long as you want checking the car and if your not happy its not a problem just
cancel the sale .
The indicated milage is 76K miles
here is the milage history check [link removed by eBay]
Crash History
It was involved in a crash and was written off see pictures
it was in a previous accident and the rear quarter was poorly repaired with filler
the boot leaks water I am not sure if this is a common issue as the boot is made from a plastic derivative
issues wit the car
BODYWORK
The I-drive sometimes works and most times does not
Driver side mirror glass cracked but mirror looks intact
Airbag warning lights on dash
electric steering wheel column adjustment does not work
does not come with the private plate
parking sensors error
the rear quater panel paint is cracked and will need to be repainted
Has not MOT or Tax
The Airbags have deployed following the accident (drivers side roof and door card )
the front right suspension strut its cracked
it will come with the black wheels unfortunately one of the wheels has been cracked and has a chunk
of metal missing
the silver wheels are also damaged and do not come with the sale
has mould in the interior
water ingress in boot oxidisation on spare tyre fusebox
needs new battery
has some cheap and tacky chavtastic mods such as the badges and the fake Shark tail Ariel
has front splitter
Engine issues
1. oil leak by Alternator
2. oil leak under car
3. The engine produces black smoke but as I am not a scumbag I will give a full disclosure as I suspect
its the common issue with the valve stem seals I did add two bottles of Forte valve saver over a year
ago but the issue persists maybe it needs some milage put on the engine to work but more likely the
valve stem seals are damaged beyond repair
positives
1. engine runs
2. has the catalytic converters I believe but buyer will need to check ( these are worth quite allot )
accord to A.I A BMW 645ci typically has two catalytic converters, one for each exhaust bank. These are
usually located in the exhaust system, between the engine and the
muffler.
3. Ac appear to work
4. Appears Has the expensive logic 7 sound system (This is worth allot relative to the sale price
5. has moon roof
6. I have a used replacement door and the front suspension and hubs these will be for sale in a separate listing
or the buyer can make a deal when he collects the car and take them .
I dont have the time to fix this car
The New owner is responsible for checking the vehicle description as I may have missed something by
mistake
I have also include the V5 picture with the model variant and also VIN number so you can check the build
sheet and the full spec of the car as I believe it has the logic 7 hi fi but I may be wrong and dont have time
to go to bmw and check this or to check if it is fitted to the car . This is the duty of the buyer to check
before the sale
if you go to Bmw and give them the vin they can tell you all the options this car came with and the full
spec I believe
insert At
if you want to look or buy please give me 3 days notice as I need to swap the wheels and move some
other cars out of the way
if you want the silver wheels in the pictured car they are cracked and need welding and may not be
repairable but you can buy them for £250
I also have 2 front suspension strut assembly with the hubs and brake discs and calibers and a
replacement door which is black and you can buy that for £400 extra
*YES I know there a Spelling mistakes
