Description
Showing just 64,342 miles; 3.0-litre M54
six-cylinder petrol engine; six-speed ZF automatic transmission; the
330Ci offered the perfect blend of refinement, performance and open-top
motoring
Supplied new in September 2005 this
well-presented E46 330Ci M Sport Convertible is finished in Space Grey metallic
and trimmed with a full Black Dakota leather interior, complemented by Black
Aluminum Cube interior trim. Showing just 64,342 miles, the car presents as a
particularly desirable example of BMW's increasingly sought-after E46
generation.
Powered by the acclaimed 3.0-litre M54
six-cylinder petrol engine and paired with the six-speed ZF
automatic transmission, the 330Ci offered the perfect blend of refinement,
performance and open-top motoring. Widely regarded as one of BMW's finest
naturally aspirated straight-six engines, it provides effortless performance
together with the character and soundtrack for which the marque is
renowned.
Factory specified to a high standard, optional
equipment amounted to over £4,000 when new and includes automatic transmission,
Black Dakota leather upholstery, Bluetooth telephone preparation, heated front
seats, High Gloss Shadow Line trim, sports suspension, headlamp wash system and
automatic headlights with rain-sensitive wipers. Further features include
electrically adjustable sports seats with driver's memory function, cruise
control, onboard computer, electric windows, electric mirrors, rear Park
Distance Control, multifunction M leather steering wheel, front center armrest,
BMW six-disc CD changer, front fog lamps and tyre pressure
monitoring.
The
car benefits from full M Sport styling, including M aerodynamic front and rear
bumpers, M side skirts and sports suspension, and remains fitted with its
original 18-inch MVII alloy wheels. These have recently been professionally
refurbished to factory specification, including acid dipping, crack and buckle
testing, powder coating and clear coating, and are fitted with matching Z-rated
tyres.
Attention
has been paid to both presentation and maintenance. Recent expenditure exceeding
£1,500 has included an engine oil service using Castrol Edge oil and OE Mann
filter, six new Denso spark plugs, OE air and cabin filters, coolant
replacement, a new Duracell battery, new front tyres, professional soft-top
treatment, alloy wheel refurbishment, new under-bonnet insulation, front bumper
refinishing and ceramic coating. Reassuringly, the desirable and often essential
boot floor strengthening modification has also been
completed.
The
black mohair power hood looks to be in good condition, operating correctly and
having been recently sealed and protected. The car also features BMW's
convenient remote opening and closing function, allowing operation of both the
windows and convertible roof from the key fob.
The E46 is widely regarded as one of BMW's
greatest modern generations, combining elegant styling, superb driving dynamics
and outstanding build quality. Convertible 330Ci M Sport models are increasingly
sought after, particularly well-specified, low-mileage examples such as
this.
A
beautifully presented and highly specified example, showing just 64,342 miles,
benefitting from significant recent expenditure and offering one of the finest
combinations of BMW straight-six performance and open-top
motoring.
