Description
For sale is my Estoril Blue E46 Clubsport.
These are one of the rarest E46's ever made and with less than a thousand of these produced they are already becoming highly collectable.
Of the three gearbox options this is the rarest and most prized manual.
It has the fantastic M54 3. 0 engine which has received some sensible performance upgrades and has been mapped by E46 specialists DG Maps. The result is a significant increase in throttle response and drivability as well as an increase in power, low down torque and overall driving pleasure. Everything can be reverted to standard should you so wish.
The car has been serviced in my ownership and was previously owned by an enthusiast who has also cared for the car well. A number of bushes have recently been replaced to correct some play in the suspension.
The alloys have also recently been refurbished at JS Autoworks and are shod in matching Michelin Pilot Sport 4 rubber.
The fitted splitter is being removed and the original corner splitters are to be refitted to the car. The Motorsport splitter having been fitted prior to my ownership.
The paintwork is in very good order with only a few minor marks commensurate with the fact the car is almost 20 years old.
The interior features grey leather which is in good condition although I was about to have the drivers seat re-dyed. There is an alcantara gearshift and handbrake gaiter and the original stereo has been replaced with a touchscreen Sony unit featuring bluetooth and an upgraded built in charging port as well as upgraded speakers. The original stereo is also supplied with the car.
The car is currently on a private registration featuring the number 46 as a nod to the E46 model.
I've noticed that the clutch is becoming tired and have decided to replace the clutch prior to sale to ensure no problems for the new owner.
I would possibly take a px at trade money if it helps however I am trying to thin out my collection of cars to focus on a couple of big restoration projects I am on with.
The car will come with a fresh MOT.
