Description
For sale I have a beautiful example of a BMW e46 330ci M Sport in black. The car is an Automatic. It has a beige leather interior with electric seats, original cassette player. You really won't see many like this around. At 80, 600 miles it has a low mileage for its age but it really belies that age in condition and performance.
The car has had two previous owners, I am the third owner. The condition of the car is a credit to both of them. You won't see many E46's in this condition, it is really lovely. The second I saw it, I knew I was buying it. The man I bought it from had it in a huge garage full of stunning BMW's, BMW carpets, walls adorned in BMW memorabilia, all the cars on trickle chargers and gleaming clean. The exact type of person you want to buy from. The car has been stored inside for it whole life, which shows in the fact there is no rust on this car. The interior especially defies belief really. It is pretty immaculate inside, oozes luxury. The engine is smooth, responsive and starts on a button. The purr of the 6 cylinder is a joy. The car is fully original, nothing has been modified or upgraded.
The car sits on its original MV2 alloys. The car came with 4 new Landsail tyres on it. I am not overly familiar with those tyres and being a rear wheel drive car I replaced the rears with Continental Premium Contact 6. All tyres have 6mm or above, essentially new. If I drove the car more I would have swapped out the fronts too.
The car comes with a medical kit under the passenger seat, full toolkit in boot lid, spare tyre and jack.
If you want a clean E46 to cherish and keep, this is the one.
I bought the car in November 2022, it had just 79, 000 miles on the clock. Now in August 2025 it has 80600. The car has not been used very much, hence why I feel its time to pass it on to someone else.
The car has a full BMW service history. It had an Inspection 2 Service, the big one, last year in May at BMW Seafield. The car was bought originally from BMW Bowker in Preston. Seems to have spent most of its life in that area before I brought it north to Scotland. I had the car stored indoors until a few months ago. I have moved to a new home with no garage, that is part of the reason for the sale. I believe this car should continue to be kept indoors to keep it in its best condition.
It had its MOT in February this year. The MOT history of the car shows how well the car has been maintained. You can quite often tell by the failures on a MOT how the car has been looked after. The car is in fantastic condition. It is however not a show car so there are some age related marks to the paint. Being a black car there are stone chips to the bonnet. I toyed with the idea of getting these filled in but my detailer told me they often just turn out a slightly different tone colour, so I opted against it. There are some light scratches to the bodies paint, none of them are substantial and I believe they will buff out. There is a small scuff to the front bumper.
The most import part is there is no rust. With the car being kept inside, it is rust free.
The car comes with 2 original keys and an original plastic physical key template (photo added). It comes with all the original booklets, I will photograph these, service booklet etc. You can see the full BMW service history. All at BMW Bowker or BMW Liverpool, no doubt at fair expense. Then one here in Edinburgh
I did a Car Vertical check on the vehicle before I bought it, I am happy to share that with any perspective buyer.
I am more than happy to answer any questions, provide any further information somebody may want, by phone, email whatever suits.
Any viewing welcome. In person the car is really impressive. I know I am asking a very solid price here, I paid a solid price for it and you won't see many more like this. I also want to know the car will go somewhere it will be cherished.
Proof of car insurance will be required to drive the vehicle.
