How do we do it I hear you ask? How do we keep unearthing these beautiful gems and how are we becoming the go-to place for rock solid top quality E46 M3 models at a time when the country is awash with cars of a distinctly dubious quality. Well I shall tell you, its 32 years experience and a procurement network built on trust. Now this February 2005 registered manual convertible is a direct reflection of exactly that. It’s covered 86500 miles and has clearly been looked after all its life, with an excellent service history and remarkable unmarked paintwork, it was fully serviced 2000 miles ago but it has had our rigorous main dealer safety and quality check, 4 wheel alignment and fresh MOT, like all our Heritage and Prestige vehicles. Just register an interest and I’ll talk you through every item that we and the former keeper has done to the car in great detail. Of course you’ll be wanting to know about the rear subframe mounts and Vanos unit and I can assure that it has a clean bill of health on both counts.
Registered 18/ 02/ 2005 at BMW UK, you’ll notice it’s completely standard with the much sought after manual gearbox. I’ve completed about 200 mies in this car now and it drives exceptionally well. The steering is straight and precise with loads of feel and cornering grip, the brakes are perfect as we have replaced the front discs and callipers that were showing signs of wear and the car pulls up smoothly without a hint of a judder. The soft top is practically perfect and the seal is good with very low noise when it is up, although you’ll want it down for the summer of course. The engine pulls really strongly through the all the gears which are light, precise and easy to find. The clutch is clearly a recent replacement. Excellent colour combination of Alabaster silver, black hood and black leather it’s a high quality finish throughout. The most recent MOT test was completed in June this year which resulted in a clean pass with no advisories and have a good look at the previous MOT history, it reads really well with just basic service related items advised of. The tyres are excellent too and the original hand book and service pack are present along with a perfectly intact tool boot mounted tool kit.

Just give me a ring for a friendly chat and I’ll answer any of your specific questions and send you a link to over a hundred more images and of course our now customary all angles nothing hidden close up video.
You’ve all been watching the values of these E46 models rising over the last couple of years, there’s a simple reason for that. Desirability and rarity of good ones. I rest my case.
Thanks for reading and all the best, David
