Description
Sadly, its time to list my pride & joy - I've taken a job overseas long term & can no longer store this, facing the reality its much better for someone get to use it than let it sit. It comes with a fresh MoT, with no advisories, a recent service & a car cover to keep it protected. I also have Thule aero roof bars in black to go with the vehicle with the correct attachment & keys. - This is a unicorn of an E46 - 330Ci M-Sport spec with the M54 engine, in one of the best & rarest colours of Oxford Green Metallic, pre-facelift for the best front end looks, with incredibly rare Kiwi leather high spec interior with walnut wood trim in excellent condition (I've never seen another E46 with this package), plus an E46 M3 6 speed manual gearbox - Originally an SSG (Hence the paddle shifters), which was great until the slave cylinder failed, when it was prohibitively expensive to replace, so a BMW expert technician professionally swapped the gearbox to a 6 speed, with a (tough to find) pristine walnut trim gear knob to top it off. I have put approximately 6,000 miles on this gearbox without any issues, it selects all gears without fault & the engine pulls strong throughout. After a recent Cataclean she is now achieving 32.2 MPG or 570 miles on a full tank & is ULEZ compliant! - Some of the work I have done through my ownership:-Replacement of the front fenders & re-spray (no collision, but to address the common wheelarch rust) -M3 manual gearbox swap (Over $1500), including new clutch-New Bilstein front shock absorbers-Replaced Vanos seal & cam cover gasket-Replaced with upgraded DISA valve-Replaced alternator-Replaced thermostat & water pump - It has a huge mechanical history, nearly all at BMW, if you have any questions or want to see any specific record then please reach out. It has just passed a MoT with 0 advisories. This car has been meticulously taken care of by myself & prior owners it is honestly one of the cleanest E46's I've seen. - Now of course this is not a brand-new car, as such it's been driven for 22 years, so has minor scuffs & marks on the exterior which I have tried to show I the images & no warranty is offered. I have provided as much information as I can for this vehicle, but please ask any questions & please inspect the vehicle (with appropriate insurance if you wish to drive it). If you're searching for an E46 then there are cheaper ones out there - but none as clean, as rare or interesting as this & none with this plus an M3 6 speed.
