The Appeal
The E46-generation M3 is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished driver's cars in BMW's history. Powered by the S54 naturally aspirated inline six, the last of its kind before the turbocharged era. The Convertible variant adds open-air enjoyment to a thoroughly rewarding chassis. In this guise, the E46 M3 offers a blend of performance and grand touring ability that few rivals can match.
This 2003 example is finished in Carbonschwarz Metallic and is equipped with BMW's SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox) with manual overdrive, allowing the driver to choose between automated and manual shifts. The specification is generous, with factory-fitted options including Xenon headlights with auto-levelling, the Harman/Kardon sound system, satellite navigation, rear park distance control, and 19-inch M Double Spoke Style 67 polished alloy wheels. The interior features Aluminium Shadow trim with ambient lighting.
Originally delivered to the US market, the car has since been imported to Europe via the Netherlands, with EU customs duties and VAT fully paid. The seller is also able to assist with worldwide transport and shipping.
For those seeking an open-top E46 M3 with a strong specification and clear import paperwork, this Carbonschwarz example warrants close attention.BMW M3 (7).jpg1.97 MB
