Description
Showing 120,790 miles; six-speed manual
gearbox; recorded as a Category D Insurance Loss, registered in October
2015; economy of diesel power alongside the sleek appearance and grand touring
nature of the Coupé body style.
First registered in December 2005, this
late-model facelift BMW E46 320Cd ES Coupé is powered by the proven 2.0-litre
M47TUD20 four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine paired with a six-speed manual
gearbox, offering an excellent blend of performance, economy and long-distance
refinement.
Finished in Black with a Black cloth interior,
the car shows 120,790 miles and benefits from a desirable specification
including electric windows, electric mirrors, onboard computer, air
conditioning, radio/CD player, traction control, front fog lights, split-folding
rear seats, tyre pressure monitoring system, together with an M-Sport steering
wheel and gear knob.
The vendor has owned the BMW since 2023. Having
spent a period in storage, it was subsequently returned to regular use and has
covered approximately 5,000 miles during current ownership, proving economical
and practical with reported fuel consumption more than
40mpg.
Significant expenditure has been incurred
during current ownership, with a comprehensive program of maintenance and
refurbishment including a major service, replacement rear window motor,
retrimmed A, B and C pillars, brake pressure sensor, rear axle bush, two new
front brake calipers, front tyres, ABS/DSC control unit, coil springs, rear
upper suspension arms, battery and a replacement bonnet release cable. Most
recently, the car received a new MOT valid until July 2027 together with two new
rear tyres.
Prospective bidders should note that the
vehicle is recorded as a Category D Insurance Loss, registered on 5th October
2015, indicating that following damage sustained at that time the insurer
elected not to repair the vehicle. The car has subsequently remained in use and
is now offered with the benefit of considerable further maintenance and
expenditure.
The
E46 generation is widely regarded as one of BMW's finest modern designs,
combining handsome styling, excellent build quality and rewarding
rear-wheel-drive handling. The 320Cd was particularly popular, offering the
practicality and economy of diesel power alongside the sleek appearance and
grand touring nature of the Coupé body style.
Accompanying the vehicle is a history file
including the V5C, MOT valid until July 2027 and invoices supporting the
substantial maintenance work carried out during current
ownership.
A
well-maintained and increasingly sought-after E46 Coupé, benefiting from
extensive recent expenditure, a long MOT and BMW's dependable six-speed diesel
drivetrain.
