2001 BMW 3 Series

SB was absolutely wowed by this E46 M3 Convertible when it pulled into our driveway with the condition best described as 'Show Car'. The particular E46 is a '51 Plate pre-facelift' and a defining feature is the exterior colour; its incredible Steel Grey makes it truly unique and was only available between Sept '01 and Feb '03. The dark, menacing grey looks all business with a range of hues that need to be seen in person to appreciate. In indirect sunlight and under fluorescent bulbs, the Steel Grey is true to its name with a subtle blue note emanating from the metallic. Overcast weather gives the shade a heavier grey tone while direct sunlight brings out the silvery shine from the metallic flake. Steel Grey is never one color but multiple depending on where and how the light is hitting the car at any moment. The car is offered with contrasting Black Nappa full leather interior and it currently sits on 110k miles. This E46 convertible was ordered with every option out of the factory bar climate comfort windscreen. The car comes complete with a full, comprehensive history file dating back to 2006 including running in service with stamps backed up by invoices along with 3 keys (2 central locking keys and 1 valet key). Have a look at the Service History section below to get a taste of the incredible amount of work that has been carried out which totals almost £34k. The car was purchased by the current owner in 2021 with every intention of keeping it; as such the work done has been done to his exacting standards with no expenses spared and garaged out of the elements. Today the seller's situation has changed and this much loved car is reluctantly being sold to assist with the purchase of a house. The seller has indicated that an age appropriate Reg plate (PF51 FGG) will return to the car for the next owner. Finally, have a look at the video below done by our very own Ghaleb to get a full sense of just how special this E46 convertible is. Buyers should bid with complete confidence.
