BMW E46 316i 2004 – Manuaali Myyntiin siistikuntoinen BMW E46 316i. Auto on katsastettu 30.6.2026, ja sillä on ajettu 260 000 km. Manuaalivaihteinen ja ikäisekseen siistissä kunnossa. Ulkonäöltään näyttävä tummansininen väri. Auto on ajokuntoinen, mutta moottorista kuuluu nakutusta, joten mahdollinen jakopääremontti kannattaa huomioida. Myydään siinä kunnossa kuin on, ja sopii hyvin harrastajalle tai korjaustaitoiselle.
