The Appeal

The E46 M3 convertible doesn’t put a motoring foot wrong: sweet-revving 3.2L straight-six, manual gearbox, over 330bhp on tap and the practicality of a full four-seat convertible with decent boot space. Whether you’re in the mood for press-on driving or simply want to munch miles quickly, the E46 M3 works.

This 2002 example is classically finished in Titanium Silver with polished M Sport alloys and a well-kept black leather cabin. It comes to market with a useful Carfax report which is said to be clean and with no damage in the car’s history. The car carries USA title and arrived in Europe with duties and VAT paid.
