BMW - M3 Convertible - Manual- NO RESERVE - 2002

BMW M3 E46 Convertible 3.2 – 2002 – Manual – Titanium Silver Metallic This gorgeous 2002 BMW M3 Convertible belongs to the beloved E46 generation and combines the character of a true BMW M sports car with the joy of open-top driving. Executed in the stylish color Titanium Silver Metallic, paired with a black leather interior and a black electrically operated convertible roof, this M3 presents a particularly attractive appearance. What makes this example extra interesting is the desirable six-speed manual transmission, paired with the high-revving 3.2-liter inline-six engine with 333 American HP. This naturally aspirated engine is known for its direct throttle response, characteristic sound, and impressive performance. The car also features several attractive factory options, including Cold Weather Package, Bi-Xenon headlights, and Park Distance Control rear. The original new-price documentation (window sticker) is present and confirms, among other things, the extra factory options valued at $2,225. This BMW also comes with a clean CARFAX report, in which the maintenance history, recorded mileages, and the damage-free history according to available registrations are documented. BODY/PAINT: The body of this BMW M3 is in neat and well-kept condition and is finished in the original factory color Titanium Silver Metallic (color code 354). The silver metallic paint has a beautiful gloss and presents exceptionally well, as is clearly visible in the extensive photo report. The characteristic wide wheel arches, sporty front and rear bumpers, aluminum hood with power dome, and the distinctive M3 air vents in the fenders emphasize the sporty character of this special cabriolet. The body panels align visually at the seams and the car has a well-maintained overall appearance. There are some light signs of use appropriate to the age and mileage of the car, which do not significantly detract from the neat presentation of the whole. The original M3 alloy wheels, 18-inch, suit the silver-colored body perfectly and give the car its recognizable sporty look. The four exhaust pipes, subtle trunk lid spoiler, and the distinctive M3 details complete the package. The black fabric convertible top looks neat and visually blends well with the black leather interior. The rear window is made of glass. The visible window seals, trim, mirrors, and other exterior parts appear well-kept. The included CARFAX report also states no registered damage history. TECHNICAL: Under the hood lies the legendary BMW S54 3.2-liter inline-six engine, with a displacement of 3,246 cc and a power of 333 HP according to American factory specification. This naturally aspirated engine features double overhead camshafts, 24 valves, and BMW’s variable VANOS valve timing. The S54 is among the most valued engines in BMW M history and is known for its high-revving character, impressive power delivery, and distinctive six-cylinder sound. A particularly attractive feature of this example is the original six-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Unlike the also available SMG transmission, this variant offers a direct, mechanical driving experience with the driver having full control over shifting. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an M differential. The car also features the sport suspension developed by BMW M, Dynamic Stability Control, ventilated discs all around, and precisely tuned power steering. The engine bay presents itself neatly and largely original in the photos, with the characteristic black M engine cover and the distinctive intake arrangement of the S54 engine. INTERIOR: The interior of this BMW M3 is finished in stylish black leather and is in a neat, well-kept condition. The sport seats are covered in black leather and offer the characteristic lateral support expected of a true BMW M3. The seats are electrically adjustable and have adjustable thigh support. The driver’s seat also includes a memory function. The leather on the front seats shows light creasing and normal signs of use, but overall looks well-maintained. The rear bench is also finished in black leather and blends nicely with the overall look. The door panels, center console, and other interior trim look neat. The original three-spoke M-sport steering wheel is leather-wrapped and features the distinctive M stitches and integrated controls for the audio system and cruise control. Behind the wheel is the characteristic M instrument cluster with gray dials, red needles, and a oil temperature gauge. The manual gear shift lever, together with the black interior and aluminum-colored accents, creates a particularly sporty overall impression. This BMW is equipped with automatic climate control, power windows, central locking, cruise control, a trip computer, and a genuine BMW audio system. In addition, the Harman/Kardon audio system is present, recognizable by the speaker housing bearing the Harman/Kardon logo. Also present are the original M3 sport door sill panels, M3 floor mats, power-adjustable exterior mirrors, and the operation of the power convertible top. The interior of the convertible top is neatly finished with a black headlining, which appears well-kept in the photos. The interior retains its characteristic BMW M appearance, without noticeable modern modifications that would detract from the original design.
