[Basel] FS: BMW 330CD Coupe

My wife is selling her fully-loaded 2004 BMW 330 CD (coupe diesel).
The car is in excellent condition, and drives beautifully. The torque and speed from the diesel lump is phenomenal, it pulls like a train and yet feels effortless and refined on the highway. Its a fantastic touring car which has taken us around Europe, and driven carefully you should get 40+ mpg.

Looking for offers in the region of CHF 23,500.

Standard details
Silver-grey metallic
3 litre diesel engine
Automatic gearbox with sports and manual mode
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
126,000km on the clock with full BMW service history (12,000km till next service)
Both sets of keys present

Extras
Full leather interior with electric, heated front seats
Brushed aluminum trim
BMW professional Navigation system (All Europe with TMC - live traffic updates)
Integrated CD/Stereo with steering wheel controls
Climate control (icy cold)
Automatic Bi Xenon headlights with head light washers
Automatic Dimming Rear View Mirror
Electric rear sun visor
Rear parking sensors
Cruise Control
Full trip computer
Rain sensing wipers
Front fog lights
Bridgestone run-flat tyres
etc..

Points to note
A few trivial stone chips on front of the car
Some scratches on the alloy wheels

Specs

Engine: In-line 6-cyl turbodiesel
Max power: 204bhp @ 4000rpm
Max torque:302lb ft @ 1500-3250rpm
0 -60mph:7.2sec
Top speed:151mph (243 Km/ph)
Efficiency: 42.8mpg combined cycle

Sorry, so much to put down It was first registered in March 2004, but with regards to the MFK I will need to get my wife to confirm it (its on the grey booklet thingy right??), off the top of my head I think it was late 2008

Re: [Basel] FS: BMW 330CD Coupe

OK folks, the last MFK was done in June 2008 (4 years after matriculation) and according to the rules the 2nd check is due in June 2011 (3 years after the first check).

The following intervals apply for cars and motorcycles: 1st Check: 4 years after the first matriculation 2nd Check: 3 years after the first check Thereafter: every 2 years

There is often a lot of banter on this forum about car sales that are often overpriced; this car has dropped 25% in price since it was first advertised !

I originally priced the car according to the cheapest examples I could find on the web.. its now even cheaper and probably the nicest example of a 330 coupe out there . I guess most people prefer 4-door cars, but in any case at least I've had an offer from a dealer so it'll eventually find a home.

Re: [Basel] FS: BMW 330CD Coupe

It's certainly a fine car, but as you say 2 doors only and in general anything with over 100k makes the Swiss very wary...

I'm not sure about that, its a diesel Beemer with a bullet proof engine and mainly highway miles (lots of trips to the UK and my wife's daily commute on the highway). I'd agree if it were a base petrol Ford or Opel with >100km. In any case the Swiss also don't like cars > 3 years old, which is great for bargain hunters

I hear that.

Last year I was thinking of trading my 06 Laguna estate for a new Koleos. The garage said 22-23k in part ex', saw I'd clocked up 108,000 km's back and forth to France and changed that to 12,500.... not sure it was the km's or French plate that caused the price drop.

Re: [Basel] FS: BMW 330CD Coupe

Gorgeous pics Too bad only that I'm in process of looking around for decent BMW 320d with first imatricualtion date around 2005. Unfortunately it is not 5-door and station wagon type. I love manual gearbox too, it's a pitty that do not have spare cash now otherwise I would have reserved that one for my wife.
