1999 BMW 328Ci (E46) Only two previous keepers; earlier pre-facelift example in SE spec with automatic transmission showing 57,000 miles; offered here with most of a tank of petrol! Privately owned locally since 2016, this 328Ci was first registered in September 1999 and appears to have only had one other owner since new.
Sparingly used over the years, it has yet to brake the 57,000 mile mark, having been put through its annual test almost every year.
The online database shows a regular check every year back to 2005 – the most recent expiring in May 2023 and showing no advisories.
A thoroughly presentable car equipped with everything you would expect from BMW In the late 90s, including the obligatory cassette player, the nifty auto/Tiptronic gearbox and the exciting rear driving wheels.
Unfortunately, there is no recorded service history but on file along with the old MOTs, V5C and BMW brochures there are bills from Tice Wimborne in Dorset for servicing between 2012 and 2015.
