This gloriously original 2001 BMW 318Ci Coupe is a refreshing antidote to many similar-age models available. Described as a well looked-after vehicle, its condition reflects this, with clean and blemish-free silver paintwork combined with fresh upholstery set off by silver trim. Despite its model moniker, the 318Ci uses an advanced 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, with the vendor describing both it and the five-speed transmission as being in ‘good’ condition. It has ‘good’ bodywork, paintwork and interior too, and the odometer reads just 33,800 miles.
In a further boost to its provenance, ‘MV51EZN’ has been in the same family ownership throughout its life, with records showing just two owners from new. It has a full service history that, up to 2016, was carried out by the highly-regarded Williams BMW outlet. “It also has loads of bills and receipts of work done.” This 2001 BMW Coupe comes with all the owner's manuals, service books and two keys.
The E46 BMW 3 Series was introduced in 1998. With styling by Chris Bangle, it was engineered by Wolfgang Ziebart, under the leadership of Dr Wolfgang Reitzle. An exceptionally well-developed car, the BMW E46 was a star car right from launch, and the sleek, understated coupe model, introduced in 1999, only enhanced this further. A favourite among BMW enthusiasts today, the reputation of the BMW E46 is set only to grow and grow – making highly-original cars like this a great investment.
In summary:
- Same family ownership since new
- The odometer reads just 33,800 miles
- Well cared for and highly original
