2003 BMW 330ci Convertible

The current custodian of this three-owner-from-new BMW purchased the sporting car from his father in 2009. It has been continually serviced throughout its life and in the current ownership at least, it has been very well maintained as evidenced in the history file. The 3 Series is described as being in good condition generally, the vendor is honest with his assessment and tells us the bodywork is good apart from a shallow dent on the lower off side quarter panel.  We are told that there are no issues with the floor, boot, chassis and underside and the original paintwork is presentable, apart from a minor rust blemish on the bonnet. All run-flat tyres were renewed in 2019. The original interior is smart, there is wear to the driver’s seat in particular, but commensurate with its age. Instrumentation is thought to be all working. The heater blower control module was replaced in 2022. The hood is presentable and generally in good condition.  The hood itself is obviously electrically operated and really does work very well. Mechanically we understand that there are no known issues, everything works well and the car performs excellently; being a 330, it certainly has the power! The coolant tank was replaced in 2021 and we are told that there is an intermittent fault with the alarm interior sensors, but it is possible to disable the sensors.  A drive belt was fitted in 2021.

The history file contains the original wallet / multiple handbook bundle, together with service history from 2005 at 13907 miles to July 2023 at 106051 miles. Also supplied are numerous servicing, parts and labour invoices from current ownership, MOT test certificates and the V5C registration certificate. All in all, excellent value for money.
