Description

For sale is my 2001 E46 330ci Sport Convertible with the desirable 5 speed manual gearbox paired to BMWs famous 3.0L naturally aspirated M54 engine. It's also ULEZ and clean air zone exempt! Featuring leather heated memory sports seats, heated mirrors, ski tube, rare BMW wind deflector, Harman Kardon speakers with subwoofer and the M Sport trim pack, riding on MV1 alloys. It is the perfect car for year round, roof down road tripping. The back seats also offer plenty of space for grand touring. Finished in the classic colour combo of Topaz Blue 364 against Hellbeige leather, this car is still a real head turner at 24 years old, and I get a lot of positive comments about it wherever I've driven it. I bought the car at ~ 108,000 miles and since then have maintained and serviced it extensively using BMW specialists where feasible. Redish Motorsport in Bristol, and BM Specialists in Letchworth have both worked extensively on this car to ensure many more years of happy motoring. A short but not exhaustive list of the maintenance jobs I have completed over my 7 years of ownership: - Valve cover gasket - CCV - Refresh of entire cooling system including a new radiator, expansion tank and hoses - Front control arms + Bushes - Rear Trailing Arm Bushes - 4 New springs all around - New brake calipers - New ABS rings - Replacement steering rack - Braided brake lines - Gearbox Oil Change - Differential Oil Change - New Fuel Filter - New Fuel Pump - New serpentine belts and pulleys - Roof waterproofing every year I have also changed several other parts such as the windscreen scuttle cover which becomes brittle and breaks over time. You can no longer buy these! The car is not without its faults however. The roof is starting to have some electrical issues. It will unlock, open and lock on the electric button, but needs some manual assistance to complete the cycle. I haven't found this has hindered my enjoyment this summer and still had the roof down most days. There are also a few age related cosmetic imperfections. I've tried to picture them as best I can. Some small patches of surface rust, and a couple of small scratches. The drivers side wing is the worst, but these can be replaced or repaired quite easily. The car comes with a fresh MOT ready for its new owner to enjoy. Grab an end of season bargain and enjoy cruising through the colours of the autumn leaves in this future classic. You will not find a better example at this low price!
