This BMW (E46) 330i is a stylish and sporting compact saloon, with a desirable factory specification, and an upgraded head unit with Apple CarPlay. Under the bonnet is a 228bhp 3.0-litre straight-six, with rear-wheel drive through a five-speed automatic transmission. Delivered new at BMW Sydney in July 2004, it has been cherished by its only private keeper from new, benefiting from regular routine maintenance. This E46-era saloon comes finished with black paintwork, beige leather upholstery and smart walnut veneer inlays. Factory equipment includes a set of heated front seats, parking sensors, cruise control, air conditioning, and an electric sliding sunroof. This example has been fitted with an aftermarket Alpine head unit, with Apple CarPlay and a reversing camera. However, the original radio and navigation system is also included in the sale. Its original owner’s manuals, stamped logbook and contract of purchase will be included, along with a spare key and a full collection of maintenance invoices. There has been no bodywork damage. The front and rear bumpers have been resprayed due to typical wear, though a few small blemishes can now be seen on the rear end. The bonnet also has some minor stone chips, which are in keeping with the car’s age and mileage. Inside, the beige leather-trimmed seats are in great shape for their age, and the walnut trim pieces are free of any notable scratches or wear. No electrical faults have been detected. Its most recent service was in November 2021 at 97,417 km, where technicians at Jack’s Auto Electrical replaced the engine oil and filter.
