Description
March 2008 BMW 325i MSport Manual for sale. Factory Special Order Atlantis Blue. Supposedly 1 of 12 in the UK with this spec.
Probably the best history that I have ever come across on any car. Right down to the original factory order receipt which shows the car was built on 49th week of 2007 and delivered to the supplying dealer 02/01/2008. It also shows the extras that were added and the special colour order. 2 keys, All original books and manuals present
3.0L Inline 6 N53 engine paired with 6 speed manual gearbox makes this a true BMW recipe. Car drives absolutely brilliantly and has had thousands spent in preventative maintenance over the years including the all important common and expensive potential failures already taken care of.
MOT passed without a single advisory and is valid till 18/04/2026.
Just under 115k miles
The car has great spec including:
Full MSport shadowline package
Xenon Headlights with washer system
Rear PDC
Black Heated Dakota Leather with memory function
Powerfold electric mirrors
Widescreen iDrive system with bluetooth handsfree, voice control and nav
Interior ambient lighting
Auto lights
Auto wipers
Seatbelt butlers
The car is completely factory original apart from LED angle eye bulbs fitted last year to modernise the car and a subtle carbon style rear diffuser which was fitted at some stage by previous keeper.
Comes on MV4 alloys wrapped in Michelin PS4's which have only been on just over a year. These aren't cheap in this size!
These N53 engines are amazing and theres a few maintenance items that need taken care of to keep them at their best. If you google it you will find HPFP, Fuel injectors and NOX sensors are mentioned. This is thousands of £ in maintenance which has all been done in 2024 including a brand new HPFP from BMW direct at £1,000 alone.
All maintenance done within last year includes:
New Genuine HPFP with invoice from JKC BMW
New Noxem 129 from Bimmerprofs
3 index 11 injectors (used but perfect) these were replaced preventatively as per bimmerprofs recommendation and passed test
EKPM3 replaced
LPFP replaced
LPFP Sensor replaced
Blower motor replaced
Theres loads of other history but too much to list, all present for any buyers to look through. MOT history right back to the first MOT in 2011 also present.
The car is in excellent condition for the age, remember it is 17 years old so there is the odd mark here and there as to be expected. The alloy wheels ideally would benefit a refurb. Interior is in brilliant condition.
Obviously with all the history the car has, it starts, drives and stops absolutely as it should. Has plenty of power, sounds great and is surprisingly economical. If you know much about N53s you will be glad to know its using stratified mode as and when it should.
Ideally I would love to keep this car as an investment however we are building a garage and I need to free up some funds and so the BMW will unfortunately have to go. I would love it to go to another BMW enthusiast to appreciate it for what it is.
I am based in Northern Ireland but will be happy to travel to airport/port for any serious mainland buyers.
Please feel free to ask any questions about the car, I have no issues talking with seriously interested people however do not waste my time. I'm not here for a chat with timewasters.
No swaps, no part exchange and no offers until the car is viewed and driven.
