Description
2002 BMW E46 M3 SMG Convertible - Black / Kiwi Leather | 104k Miles | Outstanding Condition| Full service history|
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a truly rare and desirable spec of the legendary E46 M3 - finished in timeless Black Sapphire Metallic over factory Kiwi leather interior, a striking and seldom-seen combination that sets this car apart from the crowd.
This example has covered 104,000 miles and remains in superb mechanical and cosmetic condition, a testament to careful ownership, regular maintenance, and the enduring quality of the E46 platform.
Key Specifications:
3.2L S54 Inline-6 | 343bhp
SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox) - smooth, strong shifts
104,000 miles with full stamped service history
Factory Kiwi leather interior - rarely optioned, beautifully preserved
Electric soft-top roof - fully operational and in excellent condition
Built-in Bluetooth for music streaming and hands-free calls
Continental tyres with excellent tread depth
No rust, no warning lights, no known mechanical faults
All 20 MOT certificates present
Original BMW leather wallet, owner's manuals, and book pack included
Recent Work & Provenance:
Water pump replaced recently - the only issue identified during post-purchase inspection
Believed to have had VANOS and rod bearings replaced by a previous owner (verbal confirmation; no paperwork available)
Purchased in March 2025 from Oakwood Specialist Cars (Whitley Bay) - supplied with a clean bill of health
Inspected during warranty by a trusted independent specialist - confirmed in excellent mechanical order
Why This M3 Stands Out:
Rare Kiwi leather interior - a bold and distinctive factory option seldom seen, especially in combination with black exterior
Low ownership - just 4 owners from new
Full documentation - all MOTs, service stamps, and supporting paperwork
Garage-kept and enthusiast-owned, never tracked or abused
Drives exactly as a sorted E46 M3 should - strong, linear power delivery, clean SMG shifts, and tight handling
The Enthusiast's Choice
The E46 M3 is rightly regarded as a modern classic - revered for its naturally aspirated S54 engine, balanced chassis, and analog driving experience. With the market beginning to appreciate clean, well-maintained examples, particularly in rare colour and trim combinations, this M3 offers both driving enjoyment and strong long-term investment potential.
