Description
This… is the 2004 BMW 330Cd Sport Coupe—a car from that glorious era when BMW still made their 3 Series with straight-six diesels that could pull like a freight train, handle like a sports car, and cruise like a grand tourer.
Under the bonnet is the legendary 3.0-litre straight-six diesel producing 204 bhp and a torque figure that could tow the moon. 0–60? Just 7.2 seconds. Top speed? A very German limited 155 mph. Fuel economy? Around 42 mpg combined, so you can enjoy the power without wincing at every fuel stop. Insurance? Group 36. ULEZ? Sadly not—Euro 3 diesel means London will want its tax if you go near it.
When new, this car would have cost around £32,000, and given how few clean examples are left, prices for tidy ones like this are starting to creep upwards. This could be one of those rare moments where you buy a car, enjoy it, and it might actually be worth more in a few years. And as far as E46 coupes go, this is arguably the best of the lot—the perfect blend of looks, performance, and everyday usability.
Service history? Absolutely spot on: 21,026, 34,539, 50,217, 68,754, 82,139, 91,463, 104,873, 113,143 miles, and now on sale at 121,109 miles—and yes, we’ll service it before it leaves us.
Spec? Being the Sport, you get M Sport suspension, M body styling, sports seats, multi-function steering wheel, climate control, xenon headlights, rear parking sensors, cruise control, alloy wheels, and that solid BMW interior quality from an age when dashboards didn’t creak after five minutes.
This isn’t just a used BMW. It’s a future classic—fast, handsome, beautifully balanced, and powered by one of BMW’s all-time great engines.
