It is important to make sure that the vehicle you are about to purchase offers you the best value for your money. When buying a used vehicle things can become even more complicated as the list of available vehicles are endless.

The popular BMW 3-series offers exceptional value for money. This vehicle can wear many hats and still be comfortable with them. It does not matter if you purchase the 3-series to use as a family car or as everyday transport to get to the office, it is suitable for both purposes.

Our used 323i has only done 22000km, making it almost new. It is clear that the previous owner loved his car as the exterior does not show any marks whatsoever.

Our model comes equipped with the Exclusive package that adds 17-inch wheels, Bluetooth, smash and grab window tint and a tracker system.

The interior reflects what is seen on the outside. Not only is the interior clean, but looks like that of a new vehicle.

The black leather seats are comfortable and supportive, especially on a long journey. As expected from a BMW, the list of standard features is very impressive. Standard are dual airbags, front loading CD-player, aircon, power steering and electric windows. The interior is neat and clean and the aluminium inserts give the vehicle that sporty feeling.

Many people might think that the 323i is a 2,3-litre, but it is, in fact, a stronger 2,5-litre petrol engine that delivers 140kW and 235Nm and makes use of a six-speed manual gearbox to transfer power to the rear wheels. This power is good enough to see you reaching a top speed of well over 200km/h and a 0-100km/h sprint of around eight seconds.
