The Appeal

The E46 330Ci Convertible pairs BMW's silky 3.0-litre straight-six with open-top motoring and rear-wheel drive - a combination that has earned it a devoted following among enthusiasts. Specified with the factory M-Sport package, this is one of the most sought-after configurations in the E46 range, and for many represents a bit of a peak for the Bavarian marque; a true modern classic, and one that constantly proves its worth to even the most cynical driver who gets behind the wheel.

This particular example was imported from Japan earlier this year for a private collection. Since arriving in Poland, it has undergone mechanical servicing at a BMW specialist in Warsaw, had new tyres fitted, and received professional detailing. Finished in blue with the M-Sport styling, it's certainly a handsome machine indeed. The vendor states the car presents very well and is ready for its next custodian to enjoy.
