About this car
This 2012 BMW 3 Series is advertised with 26,000 miles on the clock. Priced at £12,750, it is advertised £2,907 above the AskCar estimate of £9,843. The AskCar estimate uses UK dealer asking prices, including 6,822 BMW 3 Series adverts, and accounts for the car’s age, mileage and specification. We first recorded this car for sale 164 days ago. Ask the dealer why the advert shows fewer miles than the 60,709 recorded at the latest MOT. The recorded MOT expired on 3 June 2026, so ask the dealer whether it has been renewed.
