2003 (53) BMW 330Ci Sport Manual – Black Sapphire Metallic – Facelift Model

120,000 miles | Petrol | Manual | Coupe | Black Sapphire Metallic | 6 Owners

A very well looked after BMW 330Ci Sport manual finished in the rare and desirable Black Sapphire Metallic. This is a genuine facelift model so it has the later LED rear lights and factory xenon headlights. It runs the three-litre straight six engine with a manual gearbox which makes it a properly engaging car to drive and one of the best-balanced coupes BMW ever made.

The car has clearly been cared for over the years and comes with a full history folder including BMW main dealer and specialist invoices going back to the late 2000s. The maintenance record is extensive and includes all the usual preventative work these cars need such as a full rear subframe reinforcement carried out by ETA Motorsport, replacement steering rack, cooling system overhaul, fresh suspension components, brake lines, and regular servicing at BMW and BMS Surrey right up to date.

Cosmetically the car presents very well. The paintwork has a deep gloss, panels are straight, and all trims and badges are present. In 2020 it required a new door and front wing after light damage so it was recorded as a Category N for non-structural reasons. It was professionally repaired and has covered the last five years without any issues or further damage.

Inside it has been tastefully upgraded with genuine E46 M3 front and rear seats finished in light grey leather which suit the colour perfectly. It also has a discreet modern screen fitted that gives maps, Bluetooth and phone connectivity but still looks in keeping with the period interior. The car sits slightly lower than standard which gives it a better stance without ruining the ride, and it runs on nineteen-inch CSL style alloys fitted with four matching Michelin tyres.

It has had only six registered keepers in total, three of which were from the same circle of friends, and you can tell from the paperwork and condition that it has always been enthusiast owned.
