Our Verdict
A low-mileage example of the performance-oriented BMW 435 that offers a compelling engine-driven experience, though it shows a history of steering and suspension wear that requires a thorough mechanical check before purchase.
The primary draw for this car is the low mileage, which suggests significant life remains in the 3.0L engine. However, you must verify that the steering system has been addressed; the history notes 'play in steering rack inner joints' in 2023 and 'slight play in steering area' in 2024. Ensure these have been professionally repaired or replaced, as steering issues on BMWs can be expensive.
Check the service history meticulously for oil change intervals. Given the frequent MOT advisories for 'pitted or scored' brake discs across multiple years, it appears the car may have sat for long periods, leading to surface corrosion. Ask for proof of the rear suspension leveller repair, which was a major failure in 2024, to ensure it is currently functioning correctly and not causing further wear.
