SUMMARY
Offered without reserve, this manual gearbox, E46 M3, is on offer from from long-term ownership.

- Powered by 3.2-litre straight-six generating 343bhp at 7,900rpm and 269lb/ft at 4,900rpm optioned with the desirable 6-speed manual gearbox
- Finished in Carbon Black with a matching removable hardtop and a black soft top roof, over a black Walknappa leather-trimmed interior, featuring embossed ‘M’ emblems on the front headrests, and brushed aluminium-effect trim sitting on set of 19-inch ‘Style 67M’
- ABS, switchable dynamic stability control, cornering brake control and traction control
- Supplied with original handbooks, service book, invoices, previous MOTs, tool kit, stand for hardtop, and vehicle appropriate number plate
- No car combines fun, practicality and relative affordability with quite the same panache as the soft top, E46 M3 and with some TLC and detailing, this could be a great buy
