2005 E46 320 Cd M Sport Coupe

[ciars]

After more than 4 years, I've decided that me and my trusty diesel coupe need to go our separate ways. In the 5 years of ownership, I've added my own few subtle touches, but still keeping close to that original factory look. I've also kept on top of servicing and carried out preventative maintainence to keep the car in top condition. All of the areas of concern with the M47N engine have already been addressed, details of which are below.

It has a fully documented and receipted service history. The first 5 years of which was in the hands of BMW's 5 year service plan. The car exterior is in good condition with 2 items worth noting. There are slight marks on rear bumper (bought with this present, looks like a carparking incident) & the front bumper could do with a touch up due to stone chipping. The interior is fresh as can be seen from the photos.

Full and complete details of the car, in my ownership can be found here in my project thread: http://www.bmwhaus.ie/forum/showthread.php?tid=60

The car currently has 136k miles and is NCT'd until 2016. It is also taxed until March 2015.

Price: €6995 with the BBS wheels.

Have been fortunate to meet Ciars and see this car on a few occasions.
If I was doing more miles to justify a diesel I'd be making an offer.

Good luck with the sale and keep us posted on the replacement
