SB's Take

Wonderful example of the lauded BMW 330ci
Individual Mora Metallic paint - 1 of just 51 in the UK
Previously sold on SB

SB are delighted to again offer this remarkable BMW 330 CI Sport convertible. In near show-room condition, this 330 CI in its Individual Mora Metallic paint (1 of just 51 in the UK) over a Champagne leather interior is a complete head-turner. 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 isn't your typical case of a car being handed down from one owner to the next, left uncared for. This vehicle has received thorough and dedicated attention throughout its ownership, evident in its stunning condition. Here is an incredible opportunity for someone looking for open-top fun to acquire a BMW that wants for nothing. As always, the seller is available to answer any questions. Buyers should bid with complete confidence.
