2004 BMW 3 Series 330ci SE Convertible E46

Highlights

  • Smart dark blue metallic with matching roof and beige leather 
  • Desirable 3L M54 231bhp engine with versatile 5spd automatic gearbox 
  • Lots of recent work to engine, brakes and discs with receipts available
  • Approximately £3,000 has been spent on mechanical maintenance and improvements, with supporting invoices available
  • Serviced in December 2025 
  • Recently used for a long distance European trip without issues 
  • MOT valid until April 2027 with no advisories 

The Appeal

This tidy 2004 car adds an attractive blue-over-beige colour combination to its appeal. It is a factory SE, so it features full leather, plus a set of well-kept upgraded multispoke alloys. It has BMW’s versatile automatic gearbox. The car appears largely standard, save for a Kenwood touchscreen infotainment system. 
In December 2025, the car received a long list of mechanical work, including a service, brake overhaul, and coolant refresh. With an advisory-free MOT to April 2027, this tidy 330 looks ready for more road trips. 
The vendor says: 
“I originally bought this BMW 330Ci Convertible for a road trip across Europe, and it turned out to be the perfect companion. The combination of effortless performance, exceptional driving comfort and that wonderfully smooth six-cylinder engine made every mile an absolute pleasure. Whether cruising along the motorway or enjoying the winding roads through Europe, it was simply sublime. With the roof down, the sun shining and that beautiful engine doing its thing, it's hard to imagine a more enjoyable way to travel. And then there's the styling. Even today, I think it's a stunning-looking car — elegant, beautifully proportioned and a design that has aged remarkably well. It's a car I've genuinely loved owning and driving, and one that still puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. Quite simply, it's a beautiful car that's every bit as enjoyable to drive as it is to look at..”
