Pre-facelift E46 coupe with the M54 straight-six and Steptronic auto. In my family since 2017 (bought from my brother in 2018), and only 5 former keepers in 23 years; the second owner kept it a decade. Selling only because I'm moving abroad. Spec: - 2.5 M54 straight-six, Steptronic automatic - Topaz blue Metallic / Sand Beige leather (Leatherique treated) - Xenon head and side-lights, front fogs, 18" alloys, 225/40 ZR18 - Cruise control, rear PDC, folding rear seats, ice-cold air con - Aftermarket Bluetooth so modern phones can play through the car's speakers - Custom Longlife secondary cat-back exhaust, twin 3" IRS tails (fitted 2025) deep, not shouty - ULEZ compliant. 2 keys, V5C in hand, no finance, never written off History: Invoice folder back to 2006. All work by BMW independent specialists. Oil changes done by me every 12-18 months: Fuchs Titan Supersyn Longlife 5W-40, new filter, Liqui Moly flush and Cera Tec; injector cleaner every other change. Recent and major work: full cooling overhaul at 70k (pump, thermostat, rad, expansion tank, hoses, sensors); lower control arms and bushes; brake pipes, front wheel bearing and ABS sensor (2022); plugs and coils (2022); rear discs and pads (2022); both airbags done under BMW recall (2023/2025); new front wings with sealant (2024); xenons (2025); new tyres (2025); valve cover gasket and MAF (2025); oil filter housing gasket, lambda sensor and crankcase breather kit (2026); front discs, pads, drop link and rear shock (July 2026, at 115k). MOT until 9 Dec 2026. Full history online. Advisories: trailing arm bushes, parking brake efficiency, front tyres perishing (I left for the new owner to spec their own). Honest faults: it's a 23-year-old BMW, so: some rust, including minor bubbling on the rear arches (corrosion is what did for the old brake pipes and exhaust, both since replaced). Passenger door lock is temperamental - part not stocked by BMW until Dec 2026. Electric mirror adjustment doesn't work, needs setting by hand. Minor scuffs on rear bumper corners and front right; some grazing on the alloys. In short: one for someone who wants a proper analogue BMW and understands the deal. Hydraulic steering, a straight-six that loves revs, and a timeless shape that still catches the eye. Things will need doing on any E46 by now; the difference here is a car that's been kept on top of with the paperwork to prove it. May not be able to answer during working hours. Feel free to call after 5pm on weekdays
