Description

SB's Take

  • Gorgeous example of 330 Ci Sport
  • Rare Individual Atlantis Blue colour over Champagne leather interior
  • Enthusiast owned and maintained
As much as we love our M cars here at SB HQ we certainly appreciate well spec'd and well maintained non-M cars, too. And here we have just such a car; this stunning example of E46 330ci Sport in its striking, and rare, Atlantis Blue came across our desks and we were smitten. Under the bonnet lies the renowned 'M54' 3.0-liter inline-six engine that delivers a robust 225 horsepower that is mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox that sees the car launch from standstill to 60mph in just 7 seconds. Offered from long-term ownership, always garaged and used just as a summer car over the last 10 years, this car really must be seen to be appreciated. Don't let the slightly higher mileage put you off - this car has been looked after beautifully by the seller who is a bonafide BMW enthusiast. They've showcased this car at various meets over the years where it has always turned heads. Reluctantly selling it now despite overseeing an extensive paint restoration back in 2022, here is your opportunity to get yourself into a simply gorgeous example of E46 330ci Sport. As always the seller - this vehicle's 6th Registered Keeper - is available to answer all questions via the Comments section below and would like to highlight that this car is ULEZ compliant.
