EXTERIOR
This low mileage manual E46 M Sport is finished in majestic Orient Blue with a matching hardtop and black electric hood. Both sides of the car are very straight, the headlights are crystal clear, and the original 18-inch MV1 alloy wheels are in great kerb-free condition having previously been refurbished. The rest of the car is really honest and original making it an excellent example to be driven and enjoyed this summer. There is no rust in any of the common E46 weak spots and the underside is also sound but, in line with the age and originality, some blemishes and lacquer defects are visible in the paint. Given the car’s low mileage and desirable manual gearbox it would be an ideal candidate for some cosmetic improvement – or it could simply be enjoyed as-is.
INTERIOR
Inside, passengers are treated to all the usual E46 M Sport features including heated and electric sports seats, sumptuous leather upholstery, and ice-cold air conditioning. The leather is well presented with some expected surface wear on the driver’s outer bolsters and a couple of small nicks on the base of the rear bench. The steering wheel retains a nice texture, and glancing across the dash there is little more than a few small marks on the ash tray lid to report. All the buttons are fully operational and the switchgear is clean. The original wooden gear knob is cracked but the rest of the walnut trim is in good order. In the footwells the original grey velour overmats are still present.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The 3-litre straight-six is the pick of the bunch, offering effortless silky-smooth driving while still packing a punch when you need to get a shift on. The 5-speed manual gearbox is a perfect match for the 330 and we’re pleased to report that on test everything feels as tight as a drum. Barely run-in with only 35k miles under its belt the car has just been serviced and inspected by our trusted classic car workshop who also carried out a pressure test and re-gas of the air conditioning system. The advisory-free MOT is valid until February 2026.
HISTORY FILE
This low mileage example was first registered in April 2001; the supplying dealer was Almondbury Garage Ltd. and their original sticker can still be found in the rear window. The car resided in Guernsey from 2006-2024 and during this time it was cared for primarily by the island’s BMW main agent, Jacksons Garage Ltd. Included in the accompanying History File are the original owners’ manuals and stamped service booklet, various maintenance invoices, a spare remote key, and the current V5C showing 2 former keepers.
