Well-Known Forumite
The girlfriend's new company car has finally arrived so it's time to say goodbye to the beloved BMW.

It's a superb car, excellent to drive and looks great too. Very comfortable and plush. I'll let the photos do the talking, however, the facts are as follows:

2004 (54 plate)
318i Petrol engine - 2 litre - 148bhp - we average 37mpg
5 speed manual
140,000 miles - car no longer in use
Alloy wheels
Full M-Sport model so looks great outside
Climate control with air conditioning
Sports seats with 6 way adjustment including extendable knee support trimmed in jacquard cloth and alcantara
M-Sport steering wheel with controls for stereo and cruise control
Six speaker BMW business CD player and radio
Cruise control
Electric windows all round with locking function
Electric and heated mirrors
Auto-dim mirrors
Six airbags
Anti-lock brakes with emergency brake assist
Power assisted brakes
Traction control and DSC - works very well and keeps you safe
Power steering
3 x 3 point (proper) seat belts in the back
Remote central locking with boot release
Split tailgate - see photos
Removable retractable parcel shelf with integral dog guard (also retracts)
Full spare wheel
BMW tool kit
BMW first aid kid (unused)
Rear parking sensors
Separate front and rear courtesy lights with front footwell lighting
Rear armrest with integral cup holders and also storage cubby
Front armrest with integral cubby
Carbon-effect interior trim accents - see photos (this is original BMW, not shoddy add-on stuff)
Roof bars.

The car has just been serviced, today. Oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, sparks and coolant. Other service items include:

Brakes - all new brembo discs and EBC ultimax pads all round and ATE Type 200 brake fluid - 10k miles ago. Brakes are phenomenal with another 30k miles left in the pads yet.
Tyres - 2 were new two weeks ago, around 500 miles old (rears). Fronts are about 10k miles old and have 5mm left on them. All four tyres are the same brand/model.
Cooling system - replaced as a matter of course when we got the car - radiator, header tank, thermostat, upper radiator pipe and one other hose, i forget which.
One coil pack failed so we replaced all four with brand new bosch units.
Rocker cover gasket was leaking so was replaced. A few other seals have also been replaced in the engine bay.

Mechanically the car is excellent and will come with 12 months MOT (being done this week).

Bad points - all cars have them!

The oil sump gasket seal has failed and needs replacing. I simply haven't had time, but will do it for the asking price. This does sometimes cause a light oil smell in the cabin, which i manage by cleaning the oil off the sump from time to time (when she complains).

The lower rad hose is dropping coolant (around 1/2 pint every 1000 miles). Causes no issue and the car tells you when its low.

There is a scratch on the rear passenger door which i haven't been able to polish out, it's too deep.

Driver seat bolster has started to wear though a little - see photos. The rest of the interior is superb.

All in all, a great car we don't want to get rid of, but it's surplus to requirements.

Located near Eccleshall, viewings welcome evenings and weekends. Test drives welcome but I hold the cash and you must have valid insurance (it's currently insured so if your insurance lets you drive other vehicles, bring that policy along and we're good to go). £2,450 ono.







There are loads of other photos, but apparently I can only show three. Links below:
