THE APPEAL

When it comes to enjoyable driving experiences, a winning recipe has always been open-top, rear-wheel-drive, with a spritely motor under the bonnet and that’s exactly what you get here with this attractive 330ci E46.

Renowned for being a fun and enjoyable ride all year round, the E46 is still a sought-after car, years after its release. It brings executive class with a touch of a rebel to the party, with gorgeous sporty styling and low-slung stance. This Orient-blau convertible looks quite seductive surrounded by the Autumn foliage, especially with that roof tucked away, and as E46s go, it's pretty good, there are a few small blemishes but the factory original charm still draws in passerby after passerby.

A great car to have on the driveway that will satisfy you all year round.
