Description
1 Owner from new, 59k, Petrol, Automatic, £11, 750 -
Finished in the ever-classy combination of Orient Blue Metallic over Hell Beige leather, this beautifully presented E46 330Ci Cabriolet is a particularly special example. An early facelift M-Sport, it has covered just 59k miles from new with a single local owner, who we were fortunate enough to purchase the car from.
Supplied new by Sewell Limited of Cambridge, this is an exceptionally original example with the sort of history and provenance that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
The original vehicle order form is still present, detailing the factory specification, options, and price.
Preparation has been deliberately sympathetic. The car has received a fresh service, bringing the history up to an impressive 20 stamps on file, while the wheels have been freshly powder-coated and a new battery has also been fitted. That is essentially it.
Specification includes the M-Sport package, electric sports seats with lumbar support, automatic gearbox, sports suspension, multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, BMW Business radio, rear parking sensors, air-conditioning and cube black interior trim, amongst other period-correct options.
The original dark blue electric soft top is in lovely condition with no rips, stains or tears. Better still, the car comes complete with its original factory-supplied hardtop.
Cosmetically, the car is fantastic. The original Orient Blue paintwork has received only a very light machine polish, bringing back a superb depth and shine, whilst the Hell Beige leather has survived the last 25 years remarkably well.
There is, of course, no rust in sight.
The car sits on matching Dunlop tyres all round, which remain in great condition, and is supplied with two original keys, book packs and manuals
The MOT is advisory-free and valid until August 2027, and the car is ULEZ compliant.
A genuinely outstanding, one-owner, low-mileage E46 330Ci Cabriolet with exceptional originality, wonderful provenance and a superb colour combination. Quite simply, a lovely example of one of BMW’s finest 3 Series.
