I think you managed to buy the most plain BMW for sale, luckily it has MV3s.

I guess it has 'potential', but it's needs a lot IMO.

At least has a sunroof, all E92s had Xenons though, and cruise I think?

I dont think silver trims work well with light colour dashboards...only black.

The darker trims and lighter dash work good etc IMO.

Wood isnt bad aslong as it is a dark colour

Do u plan on doing anythin to this

Not quite that was the last one i bought

320d ES with nothing on it.

It was local and a good price. I like the spec it has.

Its not an msport but not every bmw needs to be an msport, plus would be an extra couple of grand


Almost anything has potential.


My old 320d

Well i think it might have msport suspension on it anyways? But if not probably eibach sportline springs

Rear colour coded boot spoiler

Fit my wheel spacers to bring the wheels out a bit

Subtle tint on the back windows


And that'll probably be the lot

You can actually spec msport suspension on any varient from the factory. I've seen 320d SE's with msport suspension.

I'll just check the springs, if they are stamped D then its winner winner chicken dinner, but if they are stamped C then its Eibach time. But looking at it again it does look high 😂

Nice looking car Jase,I always find the SE's are better condition/looked after than similar aged Msports.My first e92 was an SE in Monaco blue immaculate.My second E92 Msport (same age) was a dog when I got it.And this echoes what I see day to day at work.Youre right about the suspension too,any e9x can be specced with sport suspension regardless of trim.

Yeah it is pretty immaculate. No dents /dings very little stone chips aswell

The silver always helps it aswell to mask any swirls etc
