For sale is an extremely rare BMW E46 Compact– never sold in North America.
This was my personal car in Germany, where it was converted to 5spd
manual with a 330Ci (M53B30) engine making it an absolute blast to
drive.
I have full documentation since the car was purchased new from the
dealer. It took me a while to find this car with such desirable options
as: sport package, no sunroof, automatic climate control, rare BMW
aerodynamic package, automatic headlights, rain sensing wipers.
All the modifications and the engine/transmission conversion were
completed by me (I’m a former BMW technician having worked for several
years at a very well known BMW independent shop in the GTA).
The engine/transmission conversion have been certified and approved by
TUV German Authorities and meets their stringent standards (documents
available). Basically, everything was done as it would’ve originally
come from the BMW factory.
The car is very quick and also incredibly balanced in corners and offers a unique driving experience.
The body has no rust, no damage, no accidents. The body is clean 9/10
other than minor wear (i.e. stone chips) expected of a used car.
