Selling my former longtime daily driver: 2012 328i single hump, RWD, auto, sport package, Tasman green over oyster, around 130k miles. Beautiful color combination with a very, very good condition interior. Exterior is not perfect, 2 minor accidents: 1 was a low speed impact to the rear bumper which inflicted minor damage to the paint only. I never repaired that one, so the bumper as you see it is reflective of that very minor damage. The more recent one (early 2023 I think) was a front corner impact where another car drove into me at maybe 10 MPH, damaged the front bumper (replaced), passenger side headlight (replaced w/ OEM BMW part, not aftermarket), and the corner of the fender. All was professionally repaired at a shop with a good reputation locally. They clear coated the driver headlight lens to repair pitting and make it look new so as to match the new passenger side headlight. I have pictures of the damage from that accident— again, it was pretty minor.

Anyway, the interior is really clean, everything works (except maybe the 12v power outlet—I blew a fuse with a loose plug on an accessory a couple years ago) I can’t seem to find the fuse/circuit breaker - if someone can point me in the right direction on that I’d appreciate it! Glove box fuse is good— maybe it’s under the hood in the fuse box there?

Mechanically, many parts have been replaced over the years, I have a folder of receipts. Suspension is good, new water pump/thermostat, new lower control arms, new serpentine belt, good brakes, good transmission, etc. The only flaws mechanically are a slight exhaust leak under the car somewhere (I’ll try to get it taken care of next week) and the oil pan has a very slight leak. The car does not get driven much anymore, and the oil leak leaves only a couple of drops over a few weeks. I have it on a battery tender when it’s not being used these days. I think the sunroof drains might need a little attention as I did find water inside (driver side) but I keep it in the garage now and it’s dried out. No mold or mildew smell or anything like that. I’ll look into this further as time allows.

I have a few extras that can go with the car: rubber mats, wiper blades, trunk mat, that sort of thing. I’ll look around and see what I can find. I’ve had the car since 2017 and have maintained it regularly. It was daily driven until around spring of 2023 when I parked it so the thermostat could be fixed (preheater had failed triggering a CEL, emissions part only - never overheated, it was driven that way reliably for months), then I bought a new truck. It comes out on the weekends every so often since it’s been repaired but has had minimal mileage put on in the past 2 years.

It’s an MA car, so it’s not 100% perfect underneath, but NO body rust anywhere. The subframes do have some surface rust but are sound.

Please reach out with any questions. Long shot, but I’m very interested in a trade for an e93 or e36/46 convertible, or some other older BMW or another sporty car.
