A stunning, beautifully presented and extraordinarily low mileage example of the BMW E46 SE with the full BMW sports kit fitted. It is powered by the 2.2 litre naturally aspirated 'M54' inline six, 24 valve engine delivering 168bhp to the rear wheels. Tyres are in excellent condition with a lot of thread left. The engine and bay are immaculate as you would expect from a car with 9900 miles on the clock (genuine). It was rescued from an elderly lady who averaged about 300 miles a year doing her weekly shop and pension run until she was incapable of driving anymore due to health / age. It was classified as Cat N from a minor crease to the rear nearside wing and was repaired by BMW (hence why Cat N due to exorbitant prices). It has been fitted with the genuine BMW sports kit and looks stunning. Full BMW history (including same technician) until 2016 and then independent specialists since then up to date. All mot history available. Inside the black Nappa leather is in excellent condition and is as you would expect from a "Time Warp" car. Has a few stone chips to the bonnet (where she drove along the M27 every week to collect her pension) and the roof rack plastic covers may need respraying (common issue). This really is as good as it looks and reads and would take very little to bring it up to concours condition if so desired. Full tool kit and even original first aid kit plus all the manuals present. I am a 100% genuine and honest ebayer and can rest assured it really is as good as described (probably better tbh). Doubt you will find a better one. Located in Bedford, don't miss this opportunity to own an amazing piece of history, which will give years of 'next to new' driving pleasure.Work done during the time I had it:07/10/2023: Anti Roll Bar Link End (Febi 33551094619)01/10/2023: Rear right + front right window regulators (Valeo) + Left Wing mirror glass (due to age)23/09/2023: Rear coil springs SACHS 996 717 (33531095736)11/09/2023: Sound insulating engine hood (genuine OE 51488193941) + Set of wiper blades (genuine OE 61619071613) + MAF sensor (genuine OE 1432356)10/09/2023: Spark plugs (NGK genuine OE) + Fuel filter (bosch F5953) + Rubber boot (genuine OE 13541705209)01/09/2023: rear break lines replaced12/08/2023: Castrol 5w-30 LL 6.5L oil change + oil filter (Febi 26686) + Air Filter (Febi 27030) + Cabin filter (Febi 18641)July 2023: New front calipers and discs/pads Next MOT due 07/09/2024, Full service history, Silver, 3 owners, £9,900
