That does look very nice and with such low mileage should be in excellent condition. Few too many eBay badges for me and the ad details are bit off: there were 250 saloons made and #245 is the last UK car known.

E46 B3S #237

Post by Bob » Sat Feb 08, 2020 5:48 pm

I'd suggest the price is too high, given that Coupe #136 has been for sale 2yrs+ at £26k with <10k miles (still with the original owner) and Coupe #094 is sticking around at £20k with 38k miles, I think this is more likely an £18-20k car.

Agree a few too many bagdes for my liking but at the end of the day it's your car so each to their own. Price wise its tricky one...

Don’t know, but I’d probably guess not. It was advertised via an intermediary so it could be that the owner just decided to take it back.

Now up for auction with Trade Classics. It is such a nicely spec'd car but it's baffling why they have stuck so many stickers everywhere. It's also not the last UK RHD B3S 'loon, that is #245 and the fact it was apparently last serviced in 2015 will put a few people off I’d imagine.

This looks stunning and I suspect its never been a daily car, or at most for its first year or two.
I always love an E46 especially the LCI as the revised front wings are much improved to my mind.

However I do agree with the ebay badge comments above, with any luck they can be removed without marking the various components they are stuck to. And the labelling of the toolkit with an old mechanical Dymo printer off of the 70's is just unfathomable...

Stunning condition though :D

Could have been the last one 'registered' though Bob?
