Default 1995 BMW 318ti Cheap

All details and photos on this ad:

Text repeated here for convenience:

Original BMW alloys, rear parking sensors, ABS, 12 months MOT, 3 months tax, cloth interior, cd player.
It's done 116,700 miles. All past MOTs come with the car so you can see the mileage tallys as it does with the service history. Engine sounds sweet, starts on the button, doesn't use oil, doesn't leak oil and pulls cleanly. It's been a second car for us and we have done 4000 trouble free miles in it since purchase last May.

Reasonable condition all round with good service history.

It had fresh oil and a new oil filter, air filter and spark plugs 3,500 miles ago in June 2010. I did this work myself so there is no service stamp but I do have the receipts for the purchase of the parts. I have just fitted a new set of front pads which I again have the receipt for. I have a garage receipt for a clutch replacement in January 2010 which from the MOT history would suggest it was done less than 11,000 miles ago as the mileage in April 2009 was 105,133.

I has just gone through it's MOT so has the full 12 months, expiring 7th May 2012.

Tyres are BF Goodrich at the front and Pirellis on the rear. They are all a couple of mm off the wear indicator all round.

Private plate (that will sell with the car) hides it's age. It has a suffix plate on it, TSN xxxM

Paintwork is in reasonable condition, a few scratches once you start looking but generally it is tidy enough.

Bodywork is fine with one exception, the front drivers side wing has taken a bash above the arch, see picture. It has also just caught the bonnet. This was done by the previous owner, a fence panel fell on it. I have kept my eyes open for wing the same colour to replace it but one hasn't yet turned up. For me it wasn't worth the money to replace it and then have it painted and I wasn't willing to do quick fill and rattle can spray job! (You might for a quick fix?)

Interior is a bluey denim cloth. Drivers bolster has been patched with the same material but it is less faded and so is a slightly darker colour. Carpet is showing wear in the drivers footwell but it's generally ok for it's age. It's dry inside with no signs of leaking.

It's not the tidiest 318ti you can find out there but it's a solid reliable example at a good price.

I want £525 for it. New car is on it's way now, a friends 328i M sport coupe .

More pics on request, I can take them of any particular area you want me to.
