Wanted to offer on here first before advertising elsewhere
2014 F31 D3 Biturbo, Sapphire black with black leather, now on 91k
I brought the car from a fellow register member in Jan & a change in circumstance means I am doing a lot less miles now & reluctantly it has to go. I has a few marks, stone chips & scratches but it’s overall in great condition.
It’s just had oil & micro filter service at main dealer & 2 new front mich PS4s last week. Hasn’t missed a beat in my ownership. I am looking for £26500 for the car. I’m located in Wiltshire near Marlborough.
The last advert was so detailed I have copied and added the vehicle info below, Thanks C
Please PM me, happy to send over my number if anyone is interested & wants to discuss in more detail

“Equipment
2014 F31 D3 Bi-Turbo Touring, finished in sapphire black metallic with black leather interior.
The car is no. 002, which is a nice touch.
I am not 100% sure on the standard spec before options, but I have listed most of the options/spec of note, it is quite a well specified car.
Optional 20 inch classic wheels.
Panoramic glass sunroof.
Electric folding wing mirrors.
Front and rear parking sensors and reversing camera.
Heated front seats.
Privacy glass.
Gloss black shadow line exterior trim/window surrounds.
BMW tow bar – never fitted in my ownership, it looks like it has seen very little use!
High beam assist.
Professional navigation, with touch pad controller.
Black panel LED display.
Enhanced Bluetooth with music streaming/USB.
Piano black trim as opposed to wood.
Alpina floor mats with contrasting silver leather edging/piping. Silver stitching on the steering wheel. Silver Alpina stripes on the front headrests and roundels on the front and rear seat backs.
Optional black headlining as opposed to the standard light grey.
Exterior
Finished in Sapphire Black Metallic, overall the exterior is in very good condition. There are a few small marks present, commensurate with the age and mileage. There are some stone chips visible on the front bumper/spoiler and edge of the wings, the is a small 1 inch mark on OSR arch, but otherwise this it is a very clean honest example. The car benefitted from a 2 stage paint correction and a 3 year ceramic coating was applied earlier this year. This was completed by Pro-Detail UK in Swindon at a cost of £650.
The only change I have made is to fit genuine BMW F31 LCI rear light clusters. These were professionally installed and coded by Autoworks Services. I ensured a genuine BMW retro-fit wiring loom was also used. I much prefer the look of the LCI rear lights on this car.
Interior
The interior presents well and is finished in black leather with Alpina stipes on the headrests. Overall the interior is in very good order, there is some minimal wear and minor marks, but to my knowledge everything works as it should do. The boot has a genuine BMW load liner in it.
Wheels & Tyres
The car is fitted with the optional 20 inch classic wheels. These are very clean and were fully refurbished at the end of 2020. As part of this process the centre caps were also refurbished and then rebuilt with new genuine Alpina badges and the correct genuine anti rattle pads. Unfortunately, one of the front wheels has picked up a small kerb mark, the other three are unmarked.
The tyres are the correct staggered sizes and are matching Michelin PS4S. The fronts have a good amount of tread remaining and the rears were fitted this week at a cost of nearly £500.
Engine & Transmission
The car has been very reliable during my ownership, it had the EGR re-call completed by my local BMW Dealer.
History and Maintenance
Supplied new on 13th January 2014 to Sytner Nottingham. I think it was registered to Sytner before being sold to the first owner in around March 2014. In July 2016 is was sold by Sytner to the previous keeper. I purchased it in June 2019. For an unknown reason there are a couple of additional keepers on the log book. Looking at the HPI, I think this might be down to it being transferred by Sytner early on in its life and then perhaps between say a business and an individual. This has never bothered me.
MOT History
The MOT history all checks out online, the car is booked in at my local BMW dealer the new MOT will be valid until January 2023.
Service History
The car has a very good service history, nearly all BMW main dealer, it was inspected recently by a trusted local specialist who completed an interim oil change and end of warranty check. I also have a spreadsheet print out detailing all expenditure by the previous owner (2016 – 2019).
I personally don’t agree with BMW long life servicing intervals, so I have opted to complete interim oil services.
The car has also been under BMW extended warranty for the majority of its life, however this had become expensive and I chose not to continue with it recently.
