This is my partners car and we have owned it for three years.

It's a lovely example for it's age, and often gets nice comments, it has been maintained by myself since we've had it, and benefits from having most of the common E46 niggles sorted along the way.

Good:

Car is in excellent condition inside & out, and also in good condition mechanically. The engine pulls well from any revs, and the 6 cylinder engine sounds lovely.
The exterior is excellent, paintwork is very good and is only let down by some very minor stonechips on front, two very tiny door dents on drivers door and a small rust scab on drivers rear quarter. Both front wings are nice & clean without any rust (common rust point on E46). Alloys have some kerbing, front tyres are as new, rears 3-4mm.
Interior is also in excellent condition, all electrics working OK, climate control ice cold, seats in good condition, with some minor wear to the front bolsters. Also the door seal trims are showing wear (common on E46 coupes).

Servicing/Maintenance:
Stamped history-
05/02/03 15500 Oil service - Sytner BMW
05/10/04 30898 Inspection I - Sytner BMW
10/11/05 47375 Oil service - Scotthall Stanmore BMW
14/11/06 62921 Inspection II - CS Automotive BMW specialist

After that and up to our ownership there are some receipts for servicing, etc.

Since we have owned the car, I have done the following and have all receipts:
02/07/10 92695 - Coolant system overhaul, replaced water pump, radiator, expansion tank, thermostat, aux belts and coolant (common E46 weakness). Also replaced the FSR for climate control (another common fault).
31/10/10 95770 - Inspection II service
13/05/12 105126 - replaced coolant level sensor
27/05/12 105357 - Oil service (Shell Helix 5w-40, BMW filter)
26/08/12 106718 - replaced both front lower control arms & bushes (Meyle HD)
20/03/13 109791 - replaced front tyres (Falken FK453)
04/05/13 110691 - replaced battery & alternator
23/06/13 111590 - interim oil service (Shell Helix 5w-40 and OE filter) and oil level sensor replacment
27/06/13 111603 - replaced rear disks, pads & handbrake shoes

Next service due is Inspection I, which is in 8100 miles according to the indicator.

And being picky, the bad bits:
There is a small rust scab on drivers rear quarter just above bumper and the alloy wheels have some kerbing. The door locks can sometimes be a bit sticky needing you to lock/unlock a couple of times from the keyfob (usually just passenger side) first thing in morning. The blown bulb warning indicator is intermittently coming on for drivers rear light, although both rear lights are working totally fine. Rear number plate is lookin tired, I'll replace this over the weekend.

So there we are, a nice honest description as I don't like to waste anyones time. The bad bits are just minor niggles, but I like to mention them. On the whole the car is in excellent condition, and is certainly not a cheap E46 that has been neglected. Most of the common E46 niggles have been attended to since we have had it, we both love the car, but it's now time for a change and the missus now fancies a roadster!

If you would like to know more about the car, please get into contact!!

Price: £2850 £2500

 

Beatiful pictures !!! best of luck with the sale!

 

Thanks Dimitry. It's a lovely car, and we'll both be sad to see it go. Just time for my missus to have a change

 

I realise that the short MOT is probably a worry for a prospective buyer, so I will be getting the car MOT'd this week hopefully.

EDIT: Booked in for MOT 12/07/13 so will come with 12 months.
