Description

2003 BMW M3 Convertible (E46)

Appealing M3 convertible with six-speed manual transmission from 6-year ownership wearing attractive 19" CSL style wheels

Supplied new in January 2003 this pre-LCI (March 2003) BMW E46 generation of M3 Convertible is finished in desirable Titanium Silver with contrasting Blue Mohair hood, and sits upon a set of after-market CSL Style 19” alloy wheels with a polished finish, really setting the car off with added stance and attitude. 

Under the sculpted bonnet we find the M3’s superb beating heart, that wonderful 3.2-litre high-revving S54B32 straight-six engine which develops 338Bhp and 365NM of torque driving the rear wheels here, via six-speed Getrag 420G manual transmission – the purist’s and driver’s choice.

Inside, we find matching silver grey leather with electric adjustment and driver memory, electric Mohair soft-top with heated glass rear screen, multi-function M-steering wheel with cruise control, on-board computer (OBC), digital climate control with AC, radio/Cd player with Harmon Kardon sound system, three-stage heated seats, traction/stability control, tyre pressure monitoring, Sport mode, automatic Xenon lights, fog lights, electric windows and electric mirrors.

The M3 shows 100,199 miles and has been with our vendor for the past six years during which time it's covered less than 5,000 miles.  The car presents well with only minimal signs of age/mileage as expected and was driven to the sale from the Midlands.

The history file includes the V5C revealing eight former keepers, the owner’s pack with hand books, a print-out from BMW showing 12 main dealer service visits between October 2004 at 6,560 miles and June 2015 at 88,688 miles (useful should the next owner wish to have a service book stamped up).

In addition, we also find a ream of invoices for parts and maintenance including a £618 spend on brake pipes, new front OS lower radius arm in June 2020, a further £1,564 spend also in June 2020 on a service, front discs and pads, rear discs and pads, both rear top mounts, new oil gallery valve, new hand brake shoes, gear box oil change and replacement jacking block.

We also find a bill for a head gasket replacement with new head bolts in September 2015 at 85,465 miles costing £1,307 plus seven old MOTs.  The current MOT is valid until October 2023 with no advisories recorded, and thus looks ready to be enjoyed as its meant to be, roof up or roof down with that wonderful straight-six putting its ample power to the road via a proper manual ‘box.
