For sale is my beloved BMW 135i E82 Coupe, in beautiful Black Sapphire Metallic with the award-winning (engine of the year on multiple occasions) N54 3.0 petrol Twin Turbocharged engine.

I regretfully have to sell the car as need to use money for a deposit for a house.

This car has wanted for nothing, No track days, no burnouts, no launches. It's such a capable car (420bhp+), far beyond my driving style but I just like to own something nice for the weekend to bimble around in hence the exceptionally low mileage.

She has been detailed regularly by myself and serviced on time or ahead of time at BMW main dealers. No door dings or bumps, just the odd stone chip and minor marking to the very lip of three wheels.

The car has no faults and no error codes, it idles smoothly, powers through the revs cleanly and has been a very reliable car. It's a happy machine with no expense spared; dare I say it one of the best on offer.

The previous owner spent a great deal of time making this car a little individual.
Head turner is such a rubbish expression as it's used for things that turn heads for the wrong reasons but I can honestly say that every comment passed has been incredibly positive and it appeals to pretty much everyone, old or young; it's tastefully modified and functionally at that. He searched long and hard for the best parts, most are imported from the USA at great expense.

I've priced this car taking into account the value it would be worth as a factory standard car and in line with other offerings with similar spec and mileage as advertised here and elsewhere which are within the £15-£16,000 range. I appreciate that modifications are subjective and do not add great value, hence I have priced this marginally above factory standard cars with similar or more mileage yet this car has over £8000 in parts (not including labour or import taxes) of which most you will essentially be getting for free.

That's over £8,600 in parts without labour costs included. As you can see, this is a great indication of what you'll spend making a factory standard car into this, meaning even the lowest priced high mileage and sparsely spec'd cars will be an expensive proposition.

I guess there's not much more to say other than this car handles and drives superbly. It's not only a blisteringly fast performance car that operates way into other leagues but also a comfortable town and motorway car; it'll do anything.

You're not likely to find a more 'well sorted' or cared for car for the money (or for more) and if your aim is to own something a little special then this is the car for you.

Viewings welcome any time after 6pm week days or any time on the weekend.

Test drives welcome with a negotiable cash deposit but I will be more than happy to take you out with me as the driver.
Payment as cash on collection.

Forum Price: £18,500 now reduced to £17500
