Highlights

- Three registered keepers
- Very good condition and specification
- Recently serviced and injectors replaced
- New tyres and alloys
The Appeal
The E93 is widely rated as one of the best of the firm’s many 3-Series convertibles. That is quite an achievement. These cars handle well and deliver a great mix of sporting engagement and relaxed cruising comfort.
There are bigger engined options but arguably the 170bhp N43 2L is the pick of the range for modern motoring. It has quick but also economical. This well specified convertible has that engine, mated to the 6spd sequential automatic gearbox, and must be one of the lowest mileage E93s on the market.
It has covered just 13,466 miles from new in the hands of only three keepers. The sparing use is confirmed by the history file and MOT records. The result is a car in close to showroom condition.
With the option of convertible or coupe hard-top motoring, this E93 is as versatile as it is driveable.
