Description

The BMW M3 3.2i delivers a raw, engaging drive that rewards every input. With a manual gearbox and a responsive rear-wheel setup, this E46 convertible feels purpose-built yet composed; the engine’s character and the tight chassis make cornering and open-top cruising equally satisfying. The gearbox’s mechanical connection and the audible soundtrack add a very analogue, rewarding driving experience.

Practical enough for daily use, the cabin offers comfortable supportive seats and a well-presented leather interior that brings a sense of occasion. With full service history, recent MOT and thoughtful specification, this M3 blends usable everyday manners with true sporting appeal.
