Exterior

This low mileage 328i Sport presents immaculately in metallic Arctic Silver with a very subtle ice-blue tint that really pops against our studio backdrop. It has clearly been cherished by each of its keepers as every aspect of the car is exceptional. The entire body has a deep and even shine with no scratches, dents, or major chips at the front end. The headlights and indicators are clear with no signs of moisture ingress, and even finer details such as the window seals, rubbing strips, and front splitter are first-rate. The car not only boasts the original M body kit but also M3 door mirrors and 17-inch M3 alloy wheels, all pristine and shod in matching Michelin tyres.

Interior

Opening the door, you’re presented with a fantastic ‘90s interior boasting full leather upholstery and digital climate control AC. Sit inside and the deeply bolstered sports seats still feel textured and soft, the leather remaining in excellent condition with no damage or wear to speak of. Other commonly worn items such as the steering wheel and armrest also show few signs of use. The cabin is lifted further with glossy walnut trim and a subtle Bluetooth/USB Blaupunkt radio upgrade. All the switchgear is reassuringly solid to operate, and everything works as it should including the electric sunroof. In the footwells are a full set of tailored mats, and in the boot you’ll still find the BMW CD changer, first aid kit, warning triangle, luggage straps, and the complete toolkit. The original BMW tape deck is also included with the sale.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

As to be expected, the engine bay is remarkably clean and tidy with no signs of any damage, corrosion, or previous poor repair. All the plastics look fresh and the only upgrade over standard is a K&N performance induction kit. The 2.8-litre M52 straight-six is as smooth as ever having always been well maintained throughout its life. The last service was completed only 3,400 miles in 2024 ago by marque specialists, BM Automotive Solutions Ltd. For additional peace of mind, the car has just been fully inspected and the AC re-gassed.
