Comments from the seller
I have owned it since 2015 and it only had one previous owner prior.
It has run smoothly except for one major event- The engine had to be replaced in 2020 due to the plastic cooler line connection splitting and causing fluid leak and the engine to overheat.
I sourced a donor engine and transmission from a 325i 2.5L which at the time had 37,000km on the odometer, and the cooler line connection was replaced too. I can provide the paperwork of the donor car. Although not planned, the upgrade of the engine has had a noticeable difference in the performance compared to the smaller original engine. So basically it is a 320ci e46 with a 325i e46 engine.
Servicing has been done at Memmotts, and most recently in September 2026.
No history of accidents.
Other upgrades since owning:
🔉Pioneer Apple CarPlay and Android system
💡LED headlights
🕶️ Aftermarket window tint
🪩 LED internal lights
🛞 Recently fitted with Bridgestone RE003 tyres
The paintwork is in great condition as it has always been stored in the garage- but due to recently downsizing, I no longer have the room for it. Registered until March 2027. Located in Windsor.
