Description
At Hitchin Autohaus, we're excited to offer this exceptional 2006 BMW E46 M3 Convertible, finished in Carbon Black Metallic with Black Nappa Leather. Built on 3rd August 2006, this late-production M3 features the revered S54B32 3.2L straight-six, paired with the lightning-quick SMG II Drivelogic gearbox. With its high-revving engine, iconic soundtrack, and perfectly balanced chassis, the E46 M3 remains one of BMW’s greatest M cars—and this example delivers the full experience.
This M3 comes impressively specced from factory, including the rare OEM hardtop with prep, Navigation System Professional with TV function, Harman Kardon Hi-Fi, heated electric M Sport seats, Bi-Xenon headlights, Park Distance Control, rain sensor with auto lights, cruise control, electric memory mirrors, and 19” forged Style 67 wheels. The black soft-top roof is in excellent condition, and the hardtop adds year-round usability.
