This silver E46 BMW M3 Convertible, with the highly desirable manual gearbox and 19-inch alloy wheels, is excitingly being offered at No Reserve. It benefits from a full service history, the majority main dealer and the rest through a BMW M3 specialist, including a recent full service and gearbox service; the vendor says the file is full of bills and receipts going right back to the date of manufacture. “It has nearly every MOT as well, and the original service books, original jack and tool kit, and two sets of keys.” Even the registration, ‘M300OOF’, is very desirable! The car also comes with a hard top, alongside the electric folding soft-top.
‘M300OOF’ has had, E46 BMW M3 experts will be pleased to hear, both the rod bearings and VANOS attended to. It’s also had a full new exhaust system, full new tyres, new coil springs, battery, clutch and alternator, and even new fuel lines. The engine, transmission, electrics and interior are all said to be in ‘excellent’ condition, with a new M3 steering wheel and gearstick, and the leather upholstery has been refinished to make it look showroom-fresh. The vendor’s expert attention to detail even stretches to all-new badges, front and rear light lenses, and fresh indicator repeaters.
The BMW E46 M3 is considered by many experts to be the finest BMW M3 of all. Introduced in 2000, it took the superb fundamentals of the E46 BMW 3 Series and built on it further, with an extraordinary 3.2-litre straight six engine and either manual or SMG automatic gearbox. The S54 engine produced nearly 340bhp and has a redline of 8,000rpm – and clever lights in the rev counter helped vary the redline as the engine warmed up. The E46 BMW M3 ran until 2006 and today is considered a real cult car that will be a sure-fire collectable in years to come.
