The Appeal
The E46 330D is proof that you can have your cake and eat it. Very quick - 60mph arrives in 7secs - and yet highly economical, the 330D was also imbued with all the qualities that make the E46 so beloved of enthusiasts.
Here is a chance to discover why owners and reviewers love the 330D. It is a very tidy example whose duo of keepers have clearly looked after it since it was first registered in 2002. The mileage is low for the year and it has been carefully maintained - including regular coolant and brake fluid changes - with few miles covered since the last service.
Well equipped, in a smart colour scheme and with MOT to May 2025, this is a fine example of one of BMW’s best compact saloons.
