Description
For sale is my Individual E46 330ci Coupe in Messing Metallic with an Ecru Extended Leather Interior.
I originally purchased this car in August 2023 from the previous who owned it for 11 years. Since purchase of a new car he could not part with the E46 and it was left stored and SORN since 2018 (hence the gap in MOT).
There are 3 former keepers and there is a large amount of paperwork with this car including its original stamped service book, old MOT Certificates and all original tax discs from its first registration (See images).
I have spent a fortune restoring this car both mechanically and cosmetically and it has been my daily driver. Invoices are present for all work carried out by an independent garage. The car is mechanically sound and is rust free due to the work carried out in my ownership as detailed below along with the service history.
