alex163 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have decided to sell my beautiful E46 330ci, It is a 2002 manual sport model in Topaz blue having only covered a very low 31,000 miles. I purchased the car in September last year and the only reason i have decided to sell her is due to my increased commute meaning i really could do with a diesel. It took me a long time to find a low mileage manual (much rarer than the auto) sport model. This car is in stunning condition it is regularly detailed using only the finest cleaning products to keep it in perfect condition. It has a full BMW service history up until the last inspection II which was done by myself @ 25,826 miles(then i know everything is done as it should be) this included – oil and filter change, coolant drain flush and refill, spark plugs changed, pollen filter changed, fuel filter changed, brake fluid changed. Using genuine BMW parts and BMW spec fluids (invoices to prove). The air filter has been replaced with a K&N panel filter. Currently the car is showing 9500 miles to the next oil change. I have also in the last few weeks changed the gearbox and rear diff fluid with BMW spec fluids. When I purchased the car it was still fitted with the original Michelin Pilot Sport tyres (which speaks volumes of how this car has been driven) I have replaced all of these (not due to tread depth but the deterioration of the original rubber) with identical Michelin Pilot Sport tyres with the same tread pattered as advised by BMW. I have recently had a four wheel alignment done at Demon Tweeks to ensure it is handling as it should. The car benefits from a remap performed by Simon at E-maps; this has increased the BHP from 231 to approx 249 and torque from 300 to 325NM. The most significant difference is the throttle response which has increased massively since the remap. I have always run her on Shell Vpower and have averaged almost 31mpg since i have had her. This is with a mixture of town, A & B road driving, which i have been very pleased with. 38-40 mpg can be easily achieved on a motorway run. The car sailed through its MOT in May this year and will have a full 6 months tax added at the end of the month. Many options list boxes were ticked for this car. Specification list – Cruise control, auto headlights with wash, auto wipers, auto dim rear mirror, power fold mirrors, 6 disc cd changer, full leather interior, arm rest, multi function steering wheel, ipod connection, climate control, tilt slide sunroof, electric memory seats and mirrors. I have many images of the car so if there is anything imparticular you would like to see this can be emailed to you. The price i have set reflects the stunning condition of the car and low mileage. Reduced to £10,995 *Oil and filter change just done, showing 15k untill next inspection I* If you have any questions at all do not hesitate to contact me by phone, email or PM 07515061070 or amolyneaux@hotmail.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam_Burns Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Cars very neat and tidy buddy. Good luck. Just a trhought but have you thought about dropping the price a little more just as you havnt sold it yet? Somebody might buy it at that pricem just that you might be waiting longer than youd expect...Very nice example tho like i said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex163 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Thanks mate! i have dropped it slightly already. Looking around, many with higher mileages and no where near the condition seem to be up for around 10K. So mine has to be worth 1k more with the milage and imparticular the condition, it really does need nothing. I'm in no rush at all to sell her and tbh i dont really want too. As ive said in the ad i could do with a diesel for the commute but untill i get one ill just keep using the train to keep the milage down as much as possible. Thanks all for the comments btw!

There's a reason there are still lots up at that price though, no one buys them at that price. You are right though yours is worth a considerable amount more than the high milers out there. Yours looks like it only came out the showroom yesterday! Good luck with the sale. It's a beautiful car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
