Comments from the seller
For sale is a rare 2000 BMW 330Ci 5-speed manual convertible with 230,000 km and a full service history. Built by BMW during the golden era of the E46 platform, the 330Ci is widely regarded as one of the best balanced driver’s cars of its time. Manual examples were extremely limited in Australia, with an estimated around 200 factory manual 330Ci delivered to Australia, during production, making this a genuinely hard-to-find specification. This example comes well optioned with factory leather interior, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, premium sound system, multi-function steering wheel, cruise control, factory alloy wheels, on-board computer and full electrics.
The electric convertible roof is in perfect working order, operating smoothly as it should, and the car has had significant money spent on maintenance to keep it driving properly. The M54 inline-six runs strong, the gearbox shifts cleanly, and it delivers the engaging rear-wheel-drive experience that made the E46 so respected among enthusiasts. With documented servicing and proper upkeep, this is a rare opportunity to secure a sought-after manual 330Ci convertible that stands out from the rest and continues to appreciate as a modern classic.
