Indicates 37,585 miles - averaging only 1,600 miles per year

The Appeal

The BMW 325ci Convertible is one of the most prized E46 3-Series, which, in itself, is one of the most desirable BMWs of the last 30 years. Top-notch dynamics are the language of the E46, and adding a drop-top only packs in more cool than ever for the discerning driver.

This particular 2003 example stands out for its remarkably low mileage and comprehensive BMW main dealer service history. Having spent most of its life garaged in a small Welsh town, it's in fine order. Recently serviced at BMW Broad Oak at just 37,570 miles, it's by all accounts ready and raring to go. These are rapidly becoming a definitive modern classic - so don't let this chance to get behind the wheel of an E46 pass you by.
