Description

Overview
A rare opportunity to acquire a genuine, one-owner-from-new BMW E46 Convertible in the highly desirable M Sport trim, finished in beautiful Topaz Blue. I purchased this car brand new in 2002 and have cherished it for the last 24 years. It has covered a remarkably low 65, 000 miles from new.

It is a lovely, reliable runner that has never let me down and has passed every single MOT. I am only selling because I am simply no longer driving it, and it deserves to go to an enthusiast who will appreciate and enjoy a low-mileage modern classic.

Service History & Mechanics
The car boasts an exceptional maintenance record.

Mileage: 65, 000 genuine miles.

History: Full BMW Main Dealer Service History for the vast majority of its life, with only the last two service stamps coming from a trusted local independent garage.

Engine & Drive: The car starts perfectly, runs beautifully, and drives exactly as an unmolested E46 should.

MOT: A superb MOT track record with current passing status.

Exterior & Styling

Finished in the highly sought-after Topaz Blue metallic paintwork.

Genuine factory M Sport styling package.

Wheels: The car sits on its original M Sport alloy wheels. Please note, as this is a 24-year-old, frequently driven (though low mileage) car, all four alloys are currently in scratched/ used condition and would benefit from a refurbishment to bring them back to their former glory.

Optional Hardtop: I also possess a colour-matched factory hardtop hood and the accompanying ceiling pulley/ hoist system. This is available by separate negotiation.

Interior

Full cream leather in good condition, reflecting the low mileage.

Factory M Sport steering wheel and trim.

Everything is entirely stock and original, just as it left the showroom in 2002.

Summary
Finding an E46 M Sport with just 65, 000 miles is getting incredibly difficult; finding one with a single owner from new is almost unheard of. This is an honest, unmolested, and deeply loved car that needs just a tiny bit of TLC to be a truly pristine modern classic.

Included in the sale is the full V5C in my name, the original BMW book packs, the fully stamped service book, and a comprehensive folder of paperwork from my 24 years of ownership.
