BMW 318Ti Compact Sport M - SOLD

Er, no, it's not a bike:



It's got to go by the end of the month, as I've now committed to a new (to me) car. But I've only been offered a stupidly low part-ex for it, and I'd really like it to go to a proper enthusiast rather than a back-street car lot.

Photo taken spring of last year but I've only added a couple of 1,000 miles since then.

2000 'W' Reg. 102,000(-ish) miles, full service history from new. MoT until end-March.

Owned by me for the last 6+ years and 40,000 miles, before that by my next door neighbour and before that (from new) by a partner in his brother's law practice.

Good Conti SportContact tyres (as originally fitted), recent exhaust and discs and pads all round, plus a new windscreen earlier this year (the old one was chipped beyond repair).

As it's the M-spec sports model it has a few extra bits on it like the spoiler, side skirts and fatter wheels, plus sportier suspension (it really does stick like the proverbial) - and the odd 'M' badge for street cred. I've actually never seen another one quite like it, so it has a degree of exclusivity. But the engine is the standard 1895 4-cylinder putting out 110 Kw, so it goes well enough without being silly money to insure, and I still get high-30's mpg (8-9 miles per litre). And being a 3-door hatch it's a darn sight more practical than most BM's.

It has to be the bargain of the year at £850. Or might consider a bike in part-ex, small cash adjustment either way.

Now provisionally definitely sold. Waved it goodbye as it was driven off down the road - sniff, sniff.... :(
