Description
For sale is my 2003 BMW E46 330Ci Sport Convertible, finished in one of the best colour combinations: black exterior, beige leather interior and light walnut trim.
This is a well-specced, enthusiast-owned example with the right engine, the right look, and a number of subtle OEM+ upgrades that suit the car perfectly.
It has been used as a second car during my ownership, stored over winter, and has recently been brought out, checked over and recommissioned.
BMW E46 330Ci Sport Convertible in black with beige leather, genuine M-Parallel alloys, hardtop, Android Auto OEM+ head unit and tasteful enthusiast upgrades. Stored over winter, recently recommissioned and ready for summer. Not a concours car, but a very good, honest, well-looked-after 23-year-old example with the right spec and the right look.

Maintenance and ownership
I have owned the car for the past 5 years and I'm a long-time BMW enthusiast. During my ownership, it has been well looked after and has had a number of important jobs carried out, including:
Cooling system overhaul
New water pump
New thermostat
New radiator
Replacement gearbox
Aftermarket stainless exhaust back box
As most E46 people will know, the cooling system is one of the key areas on these cars, so it's reassuring to have that already dealt with.
The car has only covered around 12, 000 miles in my ownership and has not been used as a daily.
Spec and upgrades
The car benefits from a great selection of factory options and tasteful OEM+ upgrades:
Xenon headlights with angel eyes and de-shrouded lenses
Electric folding mirrors
Digital climate control / air conditioning
Electric heated seats
Auto-lights
Android Auto head unit with OEM+ look
OEM-style app to mimic the original BMW onboard computer look
12" subwoofer in the boot
Genuine 18" M-Parallel wheels from an E39 5 Series
Hardtop in excellent condition, which is getting increasingly hard to find
The Android Auto setup makes the car feel surprisingly modern to use, with Google Maps and Spotify, while still looking sympathetic to the original interior
