The Appeal
Introduced in 1997, the 'new' BMW 3 series continued the company's love affair with the compact executive car. Excellent driving dynamics and a responsive character were what made the E46 such a beloved car, and 18 years after it left the market, the car has become a modern classic in its own right - a reputation that's continuing to grow as time ticks on.
Having been a 'barn find' and rarely driven since 2018, this low-mileage 2004 car has since undergone extensive repairs and maintenance, bringing it up to snuff with over £4,000 invested in new parts. With only 2 previous registered keepers and a recent MOT valid until June 2025, this 3 Series is ready to offer many more miles of enjoyable driving.IMG_9878 Ammar Alim.jpeg3.63 MB
