Chrish Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Exceptionally well cared for by both myself and previous owner. You get the best of both worlds with this car, performance and economy, it is awesome on the road, really need to go in the car to appreciate it. Figures: Dyno Proven 286bhp, 485LB/FT (655nm) GPS Proven 164 MPH Top speed This is just a little bit more than a normal ‘remapped’ car Car returns great economy when needed; for example on a run from Liverpool to Portsmouth it averaged 57MPG over 230miles in its current state. Bodywork is in good condition, has a couple of really minor dents on the door. A couple of the wheels have minor kerb marks, bought like this. When clean the car looks lovely as can be seen in the photos. It's not a new car so isn't perfect, just as you would expect from the mileage the car has done. Front bumper has some stone chips. Interior is in great condition, drivers seat bolster has a tiny bit of surface wear, no tears! Rear seats are in immaculate condition and look to hardly have been used at all in its previous life The car: 2004 '54' 106000 Miles FULL BMW SERVICE HISTORY has always been to the same local BMW dealer for everything. Original sale £32000, traded in there, bought as an approved car there and always serviced/maintained there regardless by previous owner. History confirms this. 2 previous owners. 1st owner was a company for 18 months, 2nd owner owned car until 2011 when I bought it. MOT September 2012 Tax September 2012 Original Spec: 3.0L Diesel M Sport 6 Speed Manual Titanium Silver Black Leather Black headlining and trim Electric Heated and Memory seats (wing mirrors are also memory) Rear centre Headreast and seatbelt Black 3D carbon effect trim in excellent condition BMW Business Headunit with 6CD Changer Bluetooth phone connectivity Multifunction 3 spoke M sport steering wheel Auto Lights Headlight Washers Climate control/air conditioning LED rear lights & side repeaters (standard facelift coupe) M-sport 'Clubsport' weighted gear knob Cruise Control Rear parking sensors Tyre Pressure Monitor Genuine staggered 18x8 and 18x8.5 MV2 Alloy wheels All original tool kit, first aid pack and warning triangle present. As well as original dealer number plates and surrounds. 2 original keys and all sale documentation. Things since owning the car: I wanted this car to be able to be driven properly, not abused. I've added a few things as stated below for more power and replaced the bushes (essential to make these cars drive as they should). I’ve done anything that I thought necessary to keep the car in its best condition and a bit of preventative maintenance, as a result, it drives great, really precise and tight, no knocks and clunks and the engine is really healthy. -Custom re-map, with EGR system disabled and top speed limiter removed. -Full custom 3” Stainless Steel turbo back custom exhaust. Twin 2.5” downswept tailpipes -Custom Large Front Mount Intercooler -Allard EGR delete -BRAND NEW OEM CLUTCH AND DMF fitted less than 1000 miles ago -Brand new Prop donut bush done at same time as clutch and dual mass flywheel -PMW swirl flap removal blanks (swirl flaps are in the intake and are very prone to braking up and scrapping the engine, this kit removes them for piece of mind) -K&N air filter element -Height adjustable coilover suspension (standard M-sport will be supplied with car) -Genuine E46 M3 18x9” alloy wheels all round. -Ferrodo DS2500 Performance brake pads all round, really good fast road/track pads -4300k HID kit, with the projectors and headlight washers, are just like OEM Xenons -OE Spec front wishbone bushes (common problem) -OE Spec R/H engine mount -6x new glow plugs, had a fault on cyl 5 but for the money I replaced all 6 -Turbo rebuilt 6 months ago, comes with a 12 month warranty (common problem on these engines due to the breathers failing and causing oil starvation to the turbo. Turbo didn't fail but was noisy so was rebuilt with new bearings and seals for piece of mind) -New genuine oil separator/breather, oil change, oil filter (at time of turbo change to prevent failure as described above) £8750 ono.
