Might be the wrong place to put this but I thought while I'm selling the Mercedes, I'd stick my personal car up just incase someone fancies a nice daily car!
The time has come to sell my much much much loved BMW 328i Sport due to buying an E46 M3. Really do not want to sell this car but needs must. I spent a good 2 months looking for the right car and I settled for this car as it was the best of the bunch I looked at! Has had enthusiast owners before myself so it has always been in good hands! This is a very nice car, has subtle classy looks while having a powerful 193bhp 2.8 straight 6 engine which sounds better than most cars i've heard, including my own VR6 and soon to be E46 M3
Built June 1997

All parts have always been BMW! No cheap GSF rubbish!
Has all receipts and MOT's and bills. 2 keys and 2 remotes, over 1000 pictures since my ownership showing my what I've been upto with it and so on.. Carpets are mint, boot is mint, toolkit complete, all fluids are clean and topped up, doesn't burn ANY oil what so ever, no leaks what so ever. No engine vibration through the cabin
It's been used as my daily, covering about 100 miles a week.. It's been great and always treated well. I let the car idle for about 1 minute to get oil pressure up and then drive off gently without revving over 3k until the temperature needle is pointing dead straight. The car is then driven under 3k when I know I'm nearing the end of my journeys and left to idle for about 2 minutes before shutting off, this is to allow a nice cool down period which is very important.
The car has a FULL BMW service history, since my ownership it has gone to my local dealer because my friends dad is a technician there and he goes that extra step to check the caris 100% for me, so no hungover apprentice spanner monkey has been looking at my car.
Top quality car cleaning products have ALWAYS been used by myself on the car, Mequairs shampoo and lambswool wash mitt using 2 buckets, Zaino, Poorboys, Klasse polishes, Poorboys and Klasse sealent, Pinnacle and Zymol wax. When the car is clean, it really does gleam. The car is hoovered once a week and washed at least once a week. Wheels are removed at least once a month and under the arches are cleaned and inside the wheels. No time has been spared and I'm very particular with my cars
The car does turn a suprising amount of heads which I was suprised about. I didn't buy the car to appeal to others but it does which is kind of nice for a car that remains near factory standard and for little money. I've had past offers to buy the car from me, people stop me and comment on how clean it is and general good feedback.
The pictures shall do the rest of the talking
Bad points:
-As to be expected stone chips, nothing major
-Rust bubble on rear drivers side arch
-Wheels could be refurbished due to corrosion to all (Overly common fault with these wheels) and kerbing to 2. I will be including newly chromed split rim bolts which cost £110 when they turn up. If they don't come before the sale, I will post on to you
-Front wheels could do with balancing which I may get done as tyres have about 3k left in them. I have 1 goodyear eagle F1 tyre to go on which I will include with sale, came from a spare wheel I had. Is a slightly different profile as I wanted a better looking tyre on the front as the factory size is a bit big for my liking but haven't got round to buying another.
-Squeaky clutch pedal bush
-Shocks have surface rust. No leaks, just me being picky with the looks of them
-Fan belt is making a quiet nose due to being new (not really a bad thing)
Test drives available but only after you show an insurance certificate stating that you can drive OTHER cars under your policy.
SOME PICTURES ARE FROM A LITTLE WHILE BACK SO NOT SHOWING CURRENT UPGRADES SUCH AS GROOVED FRONT DISCS, chrome split rim bolts
For sake of rules
£5000
Based in S. London
Will be taking more detailed pictures this weekend
