Description
For sale is a well-maintained pre-facelift E46 323ci Manual featuring the reliable M52B25TU engine. I’m the second owner, with the first owner keeping it until June 2024. The car is completely rust-free and has always been stored in a garage, which is reflected in its excellent body and paint condition—no repainted panels. It drives beautifully.
This high-spec model from 2000 comes with features like a sunroof, electrically operated sunblind for the rear windshield, powered seats, and a 6-CD changer. It also comes equipped with the factory option sport suspension for a more engaging driving experience. The interior is in great condition, with Myrtle wood trim and fabric seats adding a touch of elegance.
The first owner had the car regularly serviced at a trusted garage, with service stamps showing annual or biannual maintenance. I’ve recently updated the cooling system with a new radiator and water pump. Both the engine and 5-speed gearbox run smoothly, with the engine revving cleanly and sounding fantastic. This is truly a keeper.
The only issue is that the power-assisted rear pivot open windows no longer function, but everything else is in great working order.
The only reason I’m selling is that I’m upgrading to an E36 328i for track use. The car is priced fairly given its excellent condition. Serious inquiries only, please. This car is in excellent condition with absolutely no rust—something rare to find in E46 models, especially for a 25-year-old car. Powered by the dependable and sufficiently powerful M52 technical update engine, paired with a smooth manual transmission and a beautifully tuned chassis with rear-wheel drive, it offers a truly enjoyable driving experience. I had plans to upgrade the suspension and make subtle modifications, but given how it looks and drives right now, I didn’t want to disrupt the car's elegant, timeless character. This is truly a gentleman’s BMW.
