Description
Up for sale is my 2000 BMW 323Ci manual with around 93, 000miles on. I'll be very sad to see this one go as its been a fantastic and reliable vehicle, however now it's just time for a change.
Finished in Topaz Blue, it comes with full black leather interior and rare full piano black gloss trim. I am the 3rd owner of the car, taking ownership in Febuary 2021. I purchased the car off a guy in London that had owned for 2-3 years, but was selling due to the him living within the ULEZ expansion zone. Overall the car has been incredibly reliable over the years. Its bodywork, although solid, looks tired however its been a very dependable vehicle for me, with it often 250 mile motorway runs in comfort and at 42mpg. Typically the MPG averages out to roughly 37-38, when combined with commutes and town driving. I have both sets of keys and plenty of paperwork to go alongside it, including original sales invoices and lots of receipts
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IT IS A CAT D – circa 2015 for a dent in the rear wing/ door (can be seen in photos but happy to send more)
MOTed until 04/ 12/ 25 with the last MOT on 05/ 12/ 24

Good points
• Clean arches and sills – Underside very clean with little/ no surface rust
• Interior is in very good condition for age and quite a rare specification – no major signs of wear other than slight bit on back of drivers head rest and scuff on middle rear seat
• No oil leaks, runs very smoothly and quietly
• Full BMW toolkit and accessories in boot
• All switches and buttons work - no electrical issues
• Tonnes of history and receipts in the paperwork
• I've fitted a Bluetooth kit into the input where a 6CD changer could have been specced from factory, so simply change to 'CD' on the headunit and you have faultless Bluetooth connect to your phone available
Bad Points
• Bodywork does look tired - Dent in rear wing and door (CAT D write-off) – Nothing major and can likely be pulled out, however it has damaged the bracket on the underside of the bumper / Lacquer peel on rear bumper / Scuff on front bumper / Passenger wing mirror plastic is broken (but glass okay)
• Door seal on passenger side split – Still seals and without any leak, more of a visual problem
Open to offers and happy to call and discuss the car. It will be available to view at evenings and weekends, or could be arranged whilst I am at work too
