Summary:

She is in extremely good condition for her age and is below average mileage, cared for within the BMW dealer network since new. She has been extremely reliable and has had all maintenance completed with no expense spared. There is slight scuffing on the outer edges of the leather seats in the front but nothing excessive. The 1,8ltr engine is quite economical on longer runs giving high 30’s / low 40’s and she is simply a pleasure to drive and has been extremely enjoyable to own. The bodywork has a few stone chips on the front and the odd minor scratch here and there, nothing more than you would expect for a 7 year old car.

Both keys are still present and the leather service booklet.

She is for sale to make room for a new car arriving in March.

Any inspection or test drive can be arranged by appointment, the car is based in Hartlepool in Teesside. Any test drivers must have their own insurance otherwise the test drive will be as a passenger only.
