Beschrijving
This car is an a 2003 E46 M3 SMG Convertible in Mystic Blue metallic with a dark blue cloth hood. The car is also provided with a body colour factory hardtop.
The interior trim is grey leather with eucalyptus wood trim. The vehicle is completely stock with factory 18-inch wheels, providing arguably a slightly more compliant ride compared to the optional 19-inch wheels.
Being a ‘facelifted’ car, the rear lights are the recognisable LED clusters and has new badges all round. Additionally, the car includes park distance control, hardtop roof, auto-levelling Xenon headlights, cruise control, Hi Fi speaker system, and electric memory seats. I also have a new set of lenses for the headlights which just require fitment for a fresher looking appearance.
To complement the completeness of the car this M3 also comes with 2 keys, complete tool kit, torch, complete original first aid kit factory light grey carpet mats and a secondary set of mats to protect the original set.
Condition
It is currently sat at 46751 miles and the bodywork and internal condition reflects just that. The car was delivered new to Guernsey and arrived in the UK in 2021.
Throughout the move to the UK, the car has maintained an impeccable service record, and is provided with a detailed history folder charting the care and attention it has received with endless invoices, receipts MOT certs to validate just how well cared for this car has been to date. The rear sub-frame has been recently inspected with no sign of troubling corrosion or damage.
It is up to date with servicing and recent MOT with no advisories, giving any new owner the benefit of immediate miles with no additional maintenance required.
Cosmetically the car is extremely well presented with some minor stone-chips, almost imperceptible blemishes in the paint, and some barely visible slight bubbling on the wheels. The interior is tidy with a small mark on the plastic gear gator (which can easily be replaced).
The soft-top is in excellent condition and operates perfectly well.
In summary, this is a car that is ready to be driven and enjoyed as an M3 should be. Those reading this add know exactly what they are looking at.
I wanted a completely stock original, good condition E46 M3 Convertible inc hardtop with a full service history and supporting invoices and provenance, this is exactly what this car is.
This M3 is 'turn key' with zero outlay from day 1 in terms of service and maintenance.
As with most cars of this age there will be minor flaws and if you wanted to spend money on it you could but there is nothing on this vehicle that a, causes concern, b detracts from the vehicle value or c is in need of immediate attention.
In my opinion, this is the best placed M3 E46 both by way of condition and price.
