2006 BMW M3 Convertible

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The BMW E46 M3 was unveiled at the 2000 Geneva Motor Show and quickly captured the attention of car enthusiasts and the motoring press. The sleek design, available in both Coupe and Convertible variants, was paired with a nimble chassis engineered by the legendary M Performance division of BMW, creating an unforgettable driving experience. The design was easily distinguishable from the standard versions with its wider and lower frame, aggressive front bumper, and polished quad exhaust pipes. Unlike its predecessor, the E46 was a world-market car that featured a powerful “S54” inline-six engine equipped with six individual throttle bodies, drive-by-wire, and BMW’s VANOS variable valve timing system, making it another impressively powerful and responsive six-cylinder powerplant from M Performance. Nearly 20 years later, the E46 M3 is still a critically acclaimed performance car that offers a tremendous driving experience. With its perfect balance of modern technology and analog feedback, it has earned a well-deserved place among the automotive greats.
