Description
BMW E46 320Ci Coupe (Manual) | 62k Miles | 1 Previous Owner | ULEZ Compliant
For sale is a rare, collector-quality example of the pre-LCI BMW E46 320Ci. This is a true time-capsule car, held by its first owner for 23 years before my ownership. It has been garage-kept by both owners throughout its entire life and remains in original, factory original condition. I am only selling due to a relocation.

Condition Report (Transparency):
Bodywork: Excellent shine and perfect lines. Minor stone chips/scratches on the bonnet and spoiler, and a tiny dent on the driver-side door.
Rust: The underside is exceptionally clean. There is a very slight start of rust on the rear right wheel arch, but the sills and other common areas are solid.
Interior: Classic E46 headliner sag; the driver-side A-pillar trim also requires a refresh.
Steering: Tie rods will need replacement in the near future (noted for the next MOT). The car is perfectly drivable, though the steering feel has softened slightly.
Front Grille: Clips are broken; I will replace the grille prior to sale.
This is an honest, low-mileage straight-six BMW with fantastic bones. It is ready for an enthusiast to either enjoy as a high-quality daily or preserve as a modern classic.
