Here is a fine example of the E46 3 series m sport touring in metallic Swartz Black, complete with the bulletproof 3.0L straight six M54B30 engine, known and trusted for its long lasting performance and reliability. It's a pleasure to drive shifting quickly and smoothly through the gears delivering more power than you'll often get to use fully. The engine sounds beautiful and idles perfectly with a reassuring deep rumble. The bodywork is in pretty good condition for a 24 year old car, there are noticeable age related marks but it cleans up very well and the original paint still shines as the photos show. The m sport interior is clean with black carpets and ceiling and the original walnut trim and gear knob, the Nappa leather m sport seats and door cards are a unique tan colour which still look good but do show their age. Chunky M Sport steering wheel with cruise control and audio controls. It is ULEZ compliant! There are NO warning lights on the dash There is NO rust on the front wheel arches ( which is rare) and minimal rust on the rear arches. The rear windscreen wiper and jet washer works, as do the electric heated wing mirrors (also rare) All the electric windows are in good working order and the key locking immobiliser function works. It has a working, original radio with 6 CD changer in the boot and a cassette player! Rear heated window works. Working original torch in glove compartment. Comes with spare wheel, fully stocked first aid kit, jack and complete tool set and wheel locking nut. The stylish MV1 alloys and tyres are in good condition with plenty of tread. It's barely broken in with a mere 198k on the clock! It does have the common oil leak that comes with high mileage on these old e46's, but that doesn't affect the drive performance in any way, but it should be addressed for the longevity of the car. It's not perfect but it's a fully functional workhorse, ready to use as a daily driver as it is, and with a little tlc it could last for another 200k! Make no mistake of what a beast this thing is - a powerful, timeless, future classic with amazing build quality you just don't see in modern cars. There aren't that many good ones available anymore, it's stylish, sporty and functional, what more could you wish for! 1 year MOT New front bushes New radiator New rear brake pads Original booklets pouch and service history records included Ready to drive away
