It’s rare to come across such a low mileage well cared for car, I am the 4th owner of the car it was originally owned by a doctor who unfortunately died and his wife took the car on until it was sold to a director of a car company who I bought the car off. The mileage is genuine and all verified with a stack of history, I have everything with the car, 2 keys, the key template, bill of sale all service books, leaflets absolutely everything including the full spec list from factory of what the car has, it’s the most comprehensive service history you can get with any car. The car drives perfectly and it’s by far the best e46 I’ve ever driven, no knocks or bangs and the suspension rides, brakes stops and goes as it should from the factory.
Engine
The 3 litre straight six is very well maintained by a specialist in Warrington I trust and has been given a complete clean bill of health, in my ownership the car has used no oil at all and runs very well which I would expected given the very low mileage, pulls well and VANOS kicks in correctly.
Exterior
Lovely Topaz blue original colour, the car has some scratches and stone chips to be expected with its age but no dents and absolutely no rust at all, particularly on both front and back arches, the rear arches have been treated as preventative maintenance and are in lovely condition. The paint is completely original and hasn’t had any resprays and work carried out.
Interior
The leather is BMW Individual Yellow Mosaic leather, I had my reservations about yellow leather but it really does work with the interior and black carbon trim. The interior is in very good condition a few light scratches to some of the interior panels but amazing for its age, the leather is in excellent condition as well.
Brakes/Suspension
Are in excellent condition, lots of meat left of the pads and discs look fine, the car stops well, suspension is as it should be rides brilliantly with no noises and creaking even lock to lock.
Wheels/Tyres
Recently refurbished genuine MV1’s wheels in almost perfect condition the tyres are brand new on the front and 2 years old on the rear but covered less than 3k miles, 6-7mm of tread remaining. Brakes have lots of life left on them and work as they should. Correctly staggered setup with the 255 rear section.
Maintenance
The car is maintained by a BMW specialist I am very particular who I get to see looking at the car and they are experts with it and have given the car a clean bill of health in all aspects.
I am very sad to see the car go but I have a new job which requires me to drive long distances, it’s a waste to use this beautiful low mileage car for this job so I need something more fitting to travelling distances.
I’m not sure many E46’s will ever be classics apart from M3’s but I do believe this car will appreciate being the 330Ci

1999 T Reg

MOT February 2012
Tax July 2011
Satin Silver
Fully working electric sunroof
5-Speed
EW, CL, EW, FSH
BODYWORK
Full VW anniversary Bodykit
Sharan Badge Mod
Rabbit Badge
MK4 4 Motion rear valance with 4 Motion style exhaust
Excellent condition throughout bodywork, regularly polished and detailed, few stone chips on the front but not many, minor scratch’s around the car but generally excellent. Slight rush on one front wheel arch but is treatable no rush anywhere else on the car.
ENGINE
When I got the car it was puffing blue smoke when revving the car, because of this I sourced the help of Awesome Gti who fitted a brand new OEM K03s which is still under manufacturer’s warranty until December 2011. During the time it was in Awesome I also had a new cambelt and water pump fitted, full service and ECS Stage 1 clutch and flywheel, this was all done under 1000 miles ago and is all receipted to prove. In total I have a December 2010 from Awesome for over £2,500 to make the car perfect. After the engine work was completed I went to custom code for a phase 2 remap which complements the new turbo and single mass flywheel and the car is putting out around 225bhp and runs absolutely perfectly. During a recent MOT (February 2011) the car came back with no advisories. It hasn’t used a drop of oil since the new turbo was fitted. All boost related hoses have been replaced by uprated items to handle the additional power along with a Forge uprated DV. The car retains a very respectable 35-38 MPG and slightly more on the motorway. The gearbox is slick and operates as if the car was new with no notchy gears.
The car has a full Milltek turbo back exhaust with a de cat (I will supply a cat with the car for MOT purposes) The car sounds very nice for a 1.8T and has a distinctive roar under hard acceleration. It has a standard airbox with a Green Cotton air filter.
SUSPENSION/BRAKES/WHEELS
Full Koni Coilovers throughout car lowered approximately 80mm all-round
Gti Anniversary 312mm front disks and pads with R32 rear vented disk setup, all with red callipers
Neuspeed Uprated Anti roll bars front and back
MK5 R32 Replicas alloys with 225/40/18 in excellent condition and plenty of rubber left.
I will also offer the car with Brand new completely unused BBS LM Gold Centre 8.5” ET35 Replica wheels with Falken 215/40/18 neither wheels or tyres have turned a wheel, I have only put the wheels on the car for picture purposes. The wheels are not the poor quality Reeva Wheels but the much better built BM Autosport type
INTERIOR
Excellent condition GTI Recaro’s (Black and Grey)
Full anniversary brushed aluminium kit
Genuine R32 Steering wheel
Genuine R32 Dials
Genuine Anniversary gear knob and gaitor
Boost Gauge in A pillar
The car is superb and ultra-reliable and has had money lavished on it in the last few months, it handles very well and goes extremely well, I came from a remapped Leon Cupra R and it would certainly keep up with that even with less power. The only problem with the car is a noisy starter motor which I haven’t got chance to replace, its works perfectly well but has a bit of overrun noise which is a common thing on a MK4.
I have tried to be as honest as possible about the car and Awesome Gti can verify its condition and reliability.
As you can tell by the detailed description the car is cherished and I’m very sad to have to let it go, the only reason for sale is a new car purchase so me and the Mrs can share a car.
£4,000 as it stands or £4,500 with both sets of wheels
Thanks for looking

where did u find these wheels?
i am looking for some LM reps at the moment in 17" flavour.
Try www.bbslmreps.co.uk mate they seem to do the bigger sizes.
-
Your brakes mate not changed them, still with the drilled and grooved disc's, thanks for all the kind comments guys
-
No group buy just found them and bought them, there 16" with an ET20 which is quite low, I reckon the car is about 65mm, can't really go any lower or it'll cause me problems of the arch's
-
Honest opinions?

Thanks VWorks41, only running about 45mm at the moment so only want to go a bit lower than that
