Registration - N459 HWS Chassis No. - WBAHB52040BC16249 M.O.T. - February 2023 Odometer - 101,000 It’s long since been fashionable for the British motoring fraternity to change cars every few years, but when you happen upon a 27-year old vehicle in such excellent order as this remarkably tidy BMW, you have to wonder about the wisdom of such actions. The previous husband and wife owners retained it for almost 20 years and Experian Autocheck confirms that there had only been three keepers prior to them. Finished in silver and trimmed in grey cloth it presents extremely well, with only a very few age related marks, blemishes and blisters to prevent it being described as immaculate. Certainly, the vendor appears fully justified in classing the straight-six engine, five-speed manual transmission, paintwork and upholstery as ‘excellent’ and the bodywork as ‘good’. It is currently missing its wheel and bonnet badges, but that situation can be simply and inexpensively resolved by the next owner. The car’s excellent specification includes: driver’s air bag, power steering, period correct alloy wheels, cruise control, air-conditioning, electric windows all-round, electrically-controlled mirrors, front fog lights, the original radio/cassette stereo unit, and wood trim for the facia, doors and gear knob. The total mileage from new currently stands at a very reasonable 107,560 – a figure that’s fully supported by the BMW’s fully documented service history which shows main dealer (BMW Heathrow) stamps up to 68,236 miles and those of an independent garage thereafter. This fine example of one of the best family saloon models ever made is now being offered complete with it full book pack, original tool kit and spare wheel, pair of keys, and a current advisory-free MOT valid to February 1 next year. Whichever lucky buyer drives home in ‘N459 HWS’ will have acquired an awful lot of car for their money. In summary: • In stunning overall condition for its age • Comes complete with full service history and a year’s MOT • Just four former keepers and 107,530 miles from new
