2005 55 RUNOUT E46 FACELIFT BMW 330 CD FACTORY M SPORT CONVERTIBLE Rare Model & Sought After 6 Speed Manual Top Of The Line Specification A Stunning Convertible - Outstanding Condition Over £40000 New This is an extremely well maintained high spec example, its rather rare to find the cab with the big diesel engine and the six speed manual gearbox. The mileage may be high at 154000 though mostly motorway mileage and its drives like a fraction of them. Equally, the paint is in very good condition as this as arches and sills are common weak points. The service book shows 7 stamps all BMW dealer up to 126k. The last MOT was carried out by BMW dealer, this car has always been looked after. There is a variety of receipts and bills, the service light states next service not due for 13000 miles. All brakes bushes suspension component's are in excellent order. There are no warning lights other than side light out which I will remedy. The clutch is good, car pulls strong, engine very healthy. Its had the swirl flap removal upgrade with CNC machined blanking plates. All electrics work correctly. The E46 Take one look at the convertible and you appreciate the trouble BMW took to make the E46 convertible lower, wider and longer with a more steeply raked windscreen. It is from every angle nothing less than a stunning exceptional vehicle. This, a fantastic genuine specimen sporting the correct desirable options insuring long term solid residuals. The models secret lies in its rigid quality structure that makes it near impossible to determine the difference between this & four door coupe motoring. This is the final incarnation of the E46 model falling on an 55 plate, these cars have now stopped depreciating and are becoming rather sought after. A great investment modern classic. Look/Drive Note the keen aggressive looks of the factory M specced car. This facelifted model features the broader kidney grill and the higher setting of the indicators to the front wings. Deeper & broader front and rear bumpers, fully de chromed & revised side skirts. Lightweight 18 inch rims, bigger more powerful brakes and the main event being the M suspension and dynamic stability control, the M sport models also have a tuned exhaust. The Party Piece A clever piece of kit as well. Should the Automatic traction control and stability systems included as standard not be enough to prevent the car flipping over, strong steel beams instantly shoot out from behind the rear head restraints to protect the occupants skulls. When folded, the hood sits neatly under a metal cover. Redesigned front seats, unique to the convertible, incorporate the seatbelts into their structure, rather than attaching them separately to the car body. The triple-layer hood itself has a padded lining to reduce wind noise and there is a proper glass rear window, with demister, in place of the old easily scratched plastic pane that plagues so many soft tops. The BMW 3 Series Convertible is the best in the business. What Sets It Apart? This is a very highly specified model from the factory that specced cost in excess of 40000 pounds when you add up all the cost options. To this end as a used buy it represents exceptional value for money with little pain to be had with depreciation, its done all its going to do. The car drives like its been loved.

The bumpers front and rear have marks on them and the moldings on the doors have the odd mark. the mirror shrouds are in perfect order. The mohair hood is in excellent condition. Very straight for its age. Wheels & Tyres Proper genuine lightweight MV 2 rims, not cheap heavy poorly balanced imitations that compromise the ride.
