BMW M3 CS

Good morning all,first sales post on here so feel free to correct me.

This BMW M3 CS was first registered in the UK in 08/04 and imported to Ireland in January 2007.Its been here since and I took ownership in October of last year where its been my daily driver without fault.
I had intended to get the few things I wanted sorted done before the summer but an impending house purchase means the car won't receive the tlc it needs from me now.

The things I wanted to address were the stone chips on the front end,a few areas of rust bubbling on the usual places(where the front wing meets the bumper,on the rear apron)the mirror bases are both suffering from BMW' terrible decision to make these from aluminium and so suffer from corrosion.The alloys have not been refurbished in my time and so would benefit from a refurb.The rear PDC was not working so after a diagnostic I found I had to replace the module,which I did but I never got round to replacing the two faulty senders which I have and will include in the sale.

The interior is in great shape with all electrics working as they should.The alcantara steering wheel would benefit from a re-trim.I would have also invested in some preventative maintenance by installing some form of subframe reinforcement,maybe the one from reddish.

On purchasing the vehicle I got a health check by BMW and an oil change,they checked the subframe and told me there was nothing to worry about.While only covering a couple of thousand miles there is plenty of life left before the next fluid change.

This car is an actual development vehicle for the CS program and so has the CS upgrades associated with that.
The mileage is high but the car has been well maintained and as such pulls like a train through all the gears.
I have fallen in love with this car but needs must and the new owner will have lots of fun in it
Milage 127450.

What is the mileage?

Lovely car in a great colour combo

Few things you left out
Nct
Mileage
Service history

Not me mate,Im in Cork city.

That is a bargain , glws

Liking this interior. Glws

I think your confusing orange peel with rust bubbling

You are right I guess,it is indeed rust bubbling.An issue worth bringing up with BMW and their anti corrosion promise.I have heard they require full main dealer service history to even begin to investigate a claim.

Not necessarily, what they do is take it in, carry out some paint depth measurements in order to assess if the car was in any accidents or had any paint post factory..that seems to be their get out clause.

If the car hasnt been hit or hasnt had paint post factory, you have a good case for BMW to fix it for you.

Well after a ten day auction,the car sold to a chap in the Uk.After a very sparse week of little communication between ourselves,including him taking three days to complete a hpi check,I reported him to eBay and removed the deal.
The amount of daft questions was tiresome from other buyers.

What would you guys do next?

Re advertise or keep her and sell the e92 325??

Any help would be great.

Frank.

Sell the 325 IMHO , as this will drop more in value than the CS in the next couple of years.
You'll have more fun in the CS vs 325
If you put it on donedeal, expect the same stupid tiresome questions.

If you're ot doing mega mileage, keep the CS and sell the 325...Any pics of the E92? @[ciars]:happy: is still looking for one i think

The e92 is gorgeous with lots of nice bits! :cool: I forwarded it to ciars a good while back but alas, it's not a sport and that's just about the only things ciars asks for really. I considered it myself when I got sick of waiting for a 335/M3 but I needed something with lots of fire power right out of the box.

Here's the carzone ad :) http://www.carzone.ie/used-cars/bmw/3-series/used-2007-bmw-3-series-325-325i-s-cork-fpa-201513232170063

HaHaHa

You boys don't miss a trick do ye :wink: Ive just recently replaced a rtab and given the 325 fresh fluids and filters.So she is ready for a fresh advert maybe,this one with better pictures of course.

Pass the word around lads that she may be for sale again.As for her being a non sport,all she is missing is the anthracite headlining and rear apron.

She has tax till the end of may and a fresh NCT.

Frank.

is this still on the market?

The 325 sold a couple of weeks ago,I'm back in the CS since.Smiles all round,the M3 tax is out last day of July so will run her until then.
So in theory;yes the car is still for sale.
