2009 BMW 1 Series 125i M Sport Coupe (E82)

A very well-maintained example of BMW’s acclaimed sport coupe, with a suite of desirable M Sport upgrades. Under the bonnet is a smooth and powerful naturally aspirated 3.0-litre straight six, now pushing around 190kW/258hp through a six-speed automatic to the rear wheels. A true driver’s car with responsive steering and a compact sure-footed chassis, this 125i is also very practical, ready to take on the daily commute or your favourite country road with equal aplomb. This 125i is presented in gleaming Black Sapphire Metallic over matching black leather, and sits on a set of factory silver M Sport 18-inch alloy wheels. It is fitted with an extensive list of factory options from new, including M Sport suspension, an M Sport Aerodynamics package, and the M Sport steering wheel with shift paddles. Other notable options include an electric glass sunroof, automatic air conditioning, parking distance control, cruise control, and fog lights. It has been fitted with a K&N air filter and benefits from an EVOLVE-R performance tune, giving enhanced throttle response and drivability with an approximate 30kW power increase. It comes with its original stamped service books, all handbooks, two original keys and the original first aid kit. This BMW has all the hallmarks of car that has been cherished by sympathetic owners. The black paintwork has a deep shine and all panels are straight and accident-free. There are only minor stone chips and blemishes are found on the front bumper bar, entirely commensurate with the car’s use. Likewise, the black leather interior presents in very good order for the mileage, with only light wear on the driver’s seat bolster, and some wear marks on the steering wheel. The factory 18-inch M Sport alloy wheels are all in excellent order, with no gutter rash. All electrics work as they should, and the car is mechanically sound.
