"These cars have quickly become sought-after youngtimers, and it’s easy to see why — they offer just the right amount of modern comfort without being overloaded with complicated electronics, and they feature a bulletproof 6-cylinder engine, making them easy to own and reliably enjoyable to drive."

Description

This car was sold new in Sweden in 1999 to its first owner, who kept it until 2013. The current owner has had it since then. When asked about winter use, the owner explained it has never had winter tires and has never been driven in winter, which matches its rust-free condition today.

The mileage is fully consistent with the service records, showing a realistic low average of 7,000–8,000 km per year. It comes with extensive service history — mostly performed by BMW during the early years, and later by a BMW specialist.

The current owner has a great understanding of these models and, over the last few years, has carried out much of the routine maintenance himself. The car has always been kept in tip-top condition, properly garaged over the winter, inspected yearly, and comes with virtually all inspection reports from new.

It’s so well kept that it’s hard to believe this car is now 25 years old — and there are only five years of road tax left before it becomes tax exempt.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Test driving this car brings back great memories of driving these models when they were new. It’s super comfortable, with M Sport package bucket-style seats and sporty trim details throughout the interior. The engine starts instantly and runs smoothly, delivering plenty of power on demand. The drive feels solid, the manual gearbox shifts well, and the brakes are strong and reassuring.

    The engine bay is immaculate and has just had a new vacuum hose and filler cap replaced. There are no warning lights, the car sits on beautiful alloy wheels with newer tires, and it’s inspected until 2026-05-31 — fully ready to drive home and enjoy.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is amazing — it hardly looks used, with no damage and beautiful seats wrapped in Alcantara, complemented by the M Sport steering wheel, gear knob, and sill kick plates. The door cards, carpets, mats, and headliner are all super clean, and the original dashboard is undamaged, with fully functioning instruments, including ice-cold AC. All electrical features work perfectly, including the front and rear windows, mirrors, and radio.

  • Exterior condition:

    This car looks wonderful and, best of all, shows no signs of rust. The body panels are clean and undamaged, apart from a small dent on the top edge of the right front wing, caused recently when the owner accidentally drove too close to a newly installed heater in the garage. The paintwork has a glossy finish, with just a few minor touch-ups on the bonnet and a light scuff on the left corner of the bumper. The underbody is super clean, with no damage or rust issues. The only other remark is a small blister on the left roof rail — not rust, but simply aluminium oxidation.

  • General condition:

    This is an ideal youngtimer for anyone — beautifully kept and well maintained by its owners, and an absolute pleasure to drive.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
