Wanted - 330d touring

For anyone planning to trade in if your getting the new G20 Touring. Happy to pay a little over trade price. Cash waiting.

Looking for a 2012-2014 pre LCI 330d Touring.

I'm quite picky on the spec though which is why I'm still looking after 2 months of searching for the right car

Ideally M Sport but Luxury considered
Non X drive
Harmon Kardon (Premium Hi-fi considered if all other options are present)
Pro Nav
Adaptive lights with high beam assist
Adaptive dampers
Black carpets (ie not cream!)
Sub 100k miles

Those are the must haves.

Other options such as Pano Roof would be nice as well but definitely not essential

Feel free to contact me direct as I won't be checking on here that regularly
07710494878

Thanks in advance.

Nathan.

Don't get too hung up on the adaptive dampers, mine had them and they were noisy and didn't really add anything to the driving experience. I'm now back to standard and much happier.

Good luck in your search buddy

thanks for the feedback. Its partly for the ride height and partly because I don't want it to be too hard.

I've not had BMW adaptive before but with Porsche lets say the standard suspension is a 6/10 hardness, the adaptive on soft is like a 3.5/10 and then on hard is a 7/10.

Is the BMW system similar? Standard suspension is harder than the soft setting on Adaptive?

Mine were on their last legs but to be fair my car has done 137k but mainly motorway miles so should still be ok. Now I've felt both I feel comfort is the same as the standard Bilstein shocks I have now. Mines a 330d Sport RWD and a saloon.

I don't have one for sale but my old 330d which I recently P/X'd with BMW has ended up for sale here.....
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...e=80000&page=1

I can vouch for the service history and car, I had no problems at all with it.

I would mention though that in my ownership the wheels were diamond cut OE, it didn't have the cill blades and the stickers & the roof rails were also aluminium. If you decided to look and want more info let me know.

I am looking for one of these too! My criteria is similar, but I am looking for an LCI car and am also looking at 340i's too. Budget is up to about £23k.

If I find the right car, my 2012 330d touring will be for sale which meets all of the criteria above except HK sound, plus it is on exactly 100k miles at the moment.

Bought one the other day.

2013 Alpine White 80k miles
Msport with tints and black window trims
RWD
Adaptive Xenons
Pro Nav
Premium Hifi

Not quite the spec I wanted but it was a good price and only just up the road.

Great condition other than the rear window surrounds have shrunk up slightly (which I gather is a common issue)

Was in a very similar position myself till recently. Looking for a RWD 330d Sport in estoril blue. Must have options were memory seats, xenons, pro nav, heated seats, HK sound, black panel display and under £15k. Got fed up in the end and after 2 months just bought one. Only thing it's missing is the HK sound, but I have sunroof and rear camera as a bonus.
