About this car

This 2012 BMW 3 Series M Sport has covered 77,046 miles, around 20,400 fewer than typical for its age. The dealer is asking £7,995, which is £763 above our market estimate of £7,232. We use UK dealer asking prices, including 6,764 BMW 3 Series listings, and account for the car’s age, mileage and specification. The asking price is now £1,000 lower than when we first recorded the advert 145 days ago. That history is worth bearing in mind when speaking to the dealer. MOT records show an expiry date of 23 January 2027, and the latest recorded mileage is consistent with the advert. The seller is CMS Cars Bedford, based in Bedford.
