Rare opportunity to acquire a coveted post-facelift 2004 BMW M3 E46 Convertible - some say the best of all naturally aspirated M cars. Driven by the legendary 3.2L S54 straight-six engine, this M3 delivers a hands-on, analogue driving experience unmatched by modern cars. This example boasts the desirable Manual 6-Speed Gearbox, essential for enthusiasts (and huge fun to drive). The car comes with a Partial Service History (PSH). Included is the stamped service booklet as well as all invoices/receipts accumulated during my ownership (from 2019). Please see detail for services at end of the advert. With just over 60,800 miles on the clock, this low-mileage gem has been kept in total original specification and is a rare appreciating classic. I am the 3rd owner - first owner was a father who then passed it to his daughter (2nd owner). MOT: just passed, valid until 28/05/2027 (some advisories) 1 Key. Road tax is 430 per year. The car is ULEZ compliant! *Please note that there is currently an outstanding recall for the passenger's side airbag. This has been booked in with BMW, however is delayed due to part availability. More information: Paintwork is in great condition, rust free arches apart from slight bubbling on driver-side front wheel arch - Slight bubbling on driver-side side mirror - Front brake discs & pads replaced June 2021- New battery fitted September 2025 - Display screen in good condition - Fold-down tool kit is partially complete - Windscreen wipers were replaced in February 2025 -- No warning lights on the dash - big 3 have not been addressed to my knowledge. To note: Signs of wear in certain parts of the interior as expected for a 21 year old car, e.g. wear on driver seat. Car comes with a custom-made all-weather cover with permit window & storage bag (value GBP300). Absolute head turner. Reluctant sale as I love this car. Open to offers but please no "Best price" messages. I am not interested in swaps or parts exchanges. Viewings only for serious buyers.
