ABOUT OX04 EMJ
This particular BMW 3 series
convertible is a 2004 04 registered vehicle with a genuine, guaranteed
mileage with only 2 keepers from new initially a Doctor and then
a lady keeper since 2007 from whom we acquired the car following
her purchase of a new BMW. This is a 320 Ci SE automatic which offers
the refinement and smoothness of a 6 cylinder engine without the
fuel consumption of the larger 6 cylinder engines. Performance is
more than adequate for most people's requirements and the power
delivery is lovely and accompanied by a pleasant engine note which
you only get with a 6 cylinder engine. The automatic gearbox is
super and makes the car relaxing and comfortable to drive while
offering a Sport and tiptronic function if you want to get more
involved in the driving experience. This car drives beautifully
and feels like a much newer vehicle such is the feeling of solidity
and quality that BMW product offers.
As well as superb engines, great
driving experience and overall quality the 3 series convertible
was designed to be a practical car too which further contributes
to its popularity. Unlike a lot of convertibles you can take rear
seat passengers in comfort and even with the hood down you can fit
golf clubs, bags and other items in the boot - this is a proper
convertible which is also practical and therefore can be used as
a main vehicle for day to day driving. As you would expect from
a quality product safety and security are well taken care of with
many airbags and safety features as well as an alarm and immobilisor.
The roof is really simple to use as it goes up and down with the
push of a button in a matter of seconds - no annoying handles or
catches to fiddle around with just push the button and the roof
will go down or up without you needing to do anything else. The
roof is in excellent condition on this example. The boot is a good
size and if you are not planning to put the roof down you can fold
away the roof storage compartment in the boot area to enlarge the
boot further. Roof up or roof down this is a good looking motor
vehicle and the metallic blue exterior with grey leather interior
is a super colour combination.
This SE specification model offers a high level of specification
on top of the fully automatic convertible roof. Inside this car
you will find climate control air conditioning, electric windows,
electric door mirrors, radio/CD player, full leather, electrically
adjustable front seats with driver's seat memory function, cruise
control, front armrest, on board computer and rear parking assistance
which makes reversing so much easier. Externally alloy wheels, colour
coded body parts, front fog lights and the handsome styling make
this a super looking car.
With the roof up even at motorway speeds the insulation inside the
car is great and frankly you would be hard pushed to tell when driving
this car with the roof up that it was a convertible. Heated rear
screen and super quality mean this is not some kind of summer use
only convertible but a practical all seasons every day car. The
2.2 litre 6 cylinder engine develops over 170bhp is more than adequate
and the car will accelerate briskly and cruise all day at motorway
speeds without even trying. This is the smallest of the 6 cylinder
engines in the 3 series range which offers a great balance between
silky smooth 6 cylinder power and overall economy and running costs.
The engine and 5 speed automatic gearbox are both very, very smooth.
The car is HPI clear and the certificate is available for you to
view on this website and a printout provided to the new owner -
this means no insurance loss serious damage, no stolen recovered
and no 3rd party finance so you can buy with confidence. This is
a great car with the only a Doctor and lady keeper from new with
a guaranteed mileage which is nothing for a car of this quality.
