SB's Take

Well spec'd BMW 330ci Convertible
Individual Mora Metallic paint - 1 of just 51 in the UK
Hard top included in the sale

SB is delighted to offer this BMW 330 CI Sport convertible in its Individual Mora Metallic paint (1 of just 51 in the UK) over a Montana leather interior. Sitting just below the renowned M3 in BMW's lineup, the E46 330ci Sport delivers the expected BMW driving experience without the higher M3 maintenance costs, featuring a more comfortable overall setup. Keen observers will notice that this is indeed a Facelift model, showcasing newer lights, a restyled front wing, and an enlarged kidney grille. This car presents itself as a completely useable example with scope for cosmetic improvements should the next owner so choose. With plenty of service history and offered with a colour matching hard top, here is an incredible opportunity for someone looking for open-top fun to acquire a BMW that is ready to go. As always, the seller is available to answer any questions. Buyers should bid with complete confidence.
