Description
The E46 330i Touring has long been the thinking person’s choice – discreet, beautifully balanced and powered by one of BMW’s finest straight-sixes.
In rare pre-facelift M Sport Touring form, finished in Oxford Green over Hell Beige leather, this is exactly the sort of car we adore: understated, carefully cherished and mechanically spot-on.
Supplied new in 2001 and with just one previous owner (current custodian since 2003), this 330i has led a remarkably settled life. It presents today with 122k miles and a history file that speaks of consistent, diligent maintenance. Main dealer servicing is recorded up to 90k miles, followed by continued specialist and enthusiast care.
It comes with two keys, MOT until February 2026 and a comprehensive folder of invoices and MOT certificates.
The bodywork is superb – near immaculate, which is increasingly rare for an E46 Touring. The Oxford Green paint retains a deep, elegant lustre, complemented perfectly by anthracite headlining and warm wood trims.
Inside, the cabin remains wonderfully analogue and driver-focused. Hell Beige leather, genuine new BMW mats, Harman Kardon audio, factory xenons and a sunroof make for a particularly appealing specification – subtle, but very special.
Mechanically, the car has been thoroughly gone through in recent years, including:
full service
gearbox service
GM5 module replacement
new Lucas battery
new rear brake pads
new front shock absorber
wheel refurbishment and tracking
new wipers and more besides.
For the last three years it has formed part of a small private collection, stored in a controlled garage environment and used sparingly. Despite minimal mileage in this period, it has been serviced annually regardless – a testament to fastidious ownership and a desire to keep the car in excellent mechanical order.
Practical, handsome and increasingly sought-after, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a pre-facelift M Sport 330i Touring in exceptional condition, with provenance and presentation to match. A classy, discreet modern classic that will only continue to age gracefully.
