Description
Highly desirable 'Oxford Green' Metallic 330ci; 2979cc straight six;
M-Sport trim; £3,915 worth of options when new; private plate included; no
reserve
The BMW E46 Convertible remains one of the
marque’s most usable and desirable modern classics, combining timeless styling
with refined driving dynamics and everyday practicality.
Presented in highly desirable Oxford Green Metallic with M-Sport
trim, this E46 330Ci Cabriolet is powered by BMW’s well-regarded 2,979cc
straight-six engine, paired with an automatic gearbox. Unusually, the car
features a dark green convertible hood rather than the more traditional black,
complementing the tan leather interior particularly well and giving the car its
distinctive appearance.
The car has had eight
previous keepers, including the vendor who has owned it for the last ten years,
and is currently showing 118,713 miles. Offered for sale at no reserve solely
due to lack of use, the BMW passed its last MOT in November 2022 and has
reportedly been stored indoors since. Reassuringly, it has covered only
approximately 1,500 miles since, suggesting little has changed in that
time.
Invoices are present for various belts,
hoses, servicing, oil changes, and wheel alignment work, indicating regular
maintenance and upkeep. The car has started and driven on site for photography
and video purposes.
Currently, the electric roof
is not functioning and remains in the closed position, with an illuminated amber
warning light displayed on the roof switch. Despite this, the hood itself
appears to be in fair condition with no obvious rips or tears, while the leather
interior also presents well overall aside from a broken glovebox. The desirable
paintwork remains generally presentable, although damage to one wing and
imperfections to the bonnet are visible in the photographs.
In summary, this E46 represents an appealing opportunity to
recommission and enjoy a desirably specified 330Ci Cabriolet ahead of the summer
months, particularly given its attractive colour combination and being offered
with no reserve.
