The Appeal

The E46-generation 3 Series is widely regarded as one of BMW's finest, and the 325 CI SE Convertible represents one of its most appealing variants. Its 2.5-litre straight-six engine is paired with a five-speed automatic gearbox, while the electrically operated soft top allows for open-air motoring. Finished in Samoa Metallic paintwork, this is a striking example of a model that continues to gain recognition as a modern classic.

This particular car has led a sheltered life. Its first registered keeper retained it for nearly 15 years, and with just two former keepers in total, it has clearly been valued by those who have owned it. The current owner has had the car since May 2022 and has kept it garage stored throughout. The odometer shows 46,147 miles, a figure supported by the MOT history, and the car holds a current MOT valid until March 2027 with no advisories recorded.

The vendor states the vehicle is in excellent condition throughout, though minor age-related blemishes are visible in the paintwork, as one might expect of a car now over 20 years old. With its combination of low mileage, careful ownership, and desirable specification, this 325 CI SE Convertible is well worth a closer look.
