BMW 316, 2003, Kirkkonummi

For sale: A 2003 Bimmer legend (E46) – More character than a new Tesla!

Dreaming of the joy of rear-wheel drive, genuine German design and a car that starts conversations at the petrol station? Here it is: BMW 316i Sedan (2003), with a reasonable 203,000 km on the clock!

This gift from Munich to the world combines classic driving feel with a suitable amount of weekend project. The mechanics and electrics work like a Swiss watch – or at least like a well-kept Bavarian engine. The air conditioning blows, the seats heat up and the electric windows hum as they should.

Why this particular car?

• Mechanics 10/10: The engine and transmission work flawlessly. It will reliably get you from A to B.

• Comforts in order: The engine block heater and interior heater socket keep you warm in winter, and the air conditioning cool in summer. The heated seats look after your rear end.

• Style first: Two sets of tyres with wheels included. In summer, it rides on handsome alloy wheels, perfect for cruising around town.

In the interest of openness – Patina and a little tinkering:

As this is a classic over 20 years old, the car has acquired a little character over time:

• Exterior: The wheel arches show signs of age (read: rust and a few dents). These give the car battle scars and attitude!

• The inspector’s love letter: It failed its inspection for two reasons: the handbrake needs adjustment/service, and there is a spot on the underside requiring hot metal (welding needed).

Who is it suitable for?

This is the perfect car for a hobbyist who can weld, a project-hungry young first-time driver, or anyone who knows how to use an angle grinder and a welding torch. With a little effort and a welding rod, you can turn this into a long-lasting and stylish daily driver ready for its next inspection!

The car will be sold at auction to the highest bidder. Bid for it and get your project gloves out – this classic deserves a new life on the road!

On the road: The mechanics work; in occasional situations there is a very small knock from the front end when turning the steering wheel.
The air conditioning blows hot and cold, and the heated seats work. The electric windows and mirrors work. The only faults concern cosmetic matters and the reasons for the failed inspection.
