BMW M3 E46 Convertible for sale

The BMW E46 M3 Convertible is a high-performance variant of the E46 3 Series, produced from 2000 to 2006. It is powered by a 3.2-liter S54 inline-six engine, delivering 338 horsepower, and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. Available with either a 6-speed manual or the SMG-II automated manual transmission, the M3 Convertible offers an exhilarating driving experience. While slightly heavier than the coupe version, the convertible retains excellent handling, with a top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h. This particular E46 M3 has outstanding documentation and history, with only 93,000 km on the odometer.

Exterior: The exterior of this BMW E46 M3 is finished in carbon Schwarz. Despite the name, the color shifts between blue and black, depending on how the light hits the car. The exterior is in excellent condition. The car was repainted about 10 years ago, and the work was done very professionally. The paint is even when measured, confirming there is no hidden damage or previous repairs. There are a few minor stone chips, but nothing out of the ordinary. Additionally, the car has a brand-new windscreen. It sits on original 19-inch wheels that were introduced with the facelift of the E46 M3. The wheels have good Dunlop tires, though there is some slight curb rash on a few of them. The car is fitted with high-quality lowering springs and spacers to give it a more aggressive appearance. These are the only modifications done, and they can be easily reversed if desired.

Interior: Inside this convertible BMW E46 M3, you’ll find a gorgeous Imola Red leather interior that contrasts beautifully with the dark exterior. The interior is in great condition, and all electronics work perfectly. The cockpit is equipped with an array of convenient features, including heated seats, cruise control, a Harman Kardon sound system with phone connectivity, a ski bag, navigation system, fully functioning AC, and more. The car comes with a black soft top, which is in perfect condition and operates smoothly. Additionally, the car was ordered with a hardtop that is also in excellent condition. The hardtop transforms the car, providing the benefits of a cool coupe design and a super airtight cabin. It also comes with the original hardtop holder, complete with wheels, which can be quickly disassembled and stored in the trunk. The car also includes its original BMW wind deflector in its original packaging. These accessories are listed on the car's build sheet, and their well-preserved condition reflects the care the car has received over the years. The rear seats are also spacious enough to comfortably accommodate passengers of most sizes.

Engine and Mechanics: This BMW E46 M3 convertible is powered by the renowned 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine, known as the S54. The engine revs to around 8,000 RPM and produces 343 hp. The exhaust note is particularly enjoyable, especially with the top down. The engine is paired with a 6-speed sequential manual gearbox, known as SMG. While it may take some getting used to, once mastered, the SMG is great fun, adding to the car's unique driving experience, with the added benefit of fully automatic mode. The SMG gearbox was after all the top-of-the-line option at the time. Since this is a later facelifted model, it is not prone to some of the mechanical issues associated with earlier versions. Mechanically, this car is in excellent condition, with everything working perfectly. Thanks to the lowering springs, the car handles brilliantly, making it a joy to drive on twisty roads. With the wind deflector in place, you can enjoy an open-top experience with minimal wind disturbance.
