V rare & Immaculate: E46 BMW 325ti M-Sport Compact 6 Speed Manual. Titan Silver. Black Leather

Description

E46 325ti M-sport Compact 6 speed manual.

Listed briefly last year but I took it off again. This time it does need to move on very sadly.

Extremely rare & bespoke specification in the best colour combination.
Black leather & bright Titan Silver.
A collector's/enthusiasts dream car. Hence finally being convinced I should treat myself after wanting one for many years.
Low mileage at just over 110k now.

Haven't had time/weather to do a 'proper' photoshoot as yet.
Any inspection/drive more than welcome for genuine buyer.

It is the only one of this spec in the UK for sale (on the main sites), however with the subtle upgrades & Condition it is a complete one-off.

I'm gutted to have to move towards selling her
After 4 other Compacts in the family I finally got my M-Sport 325ti & with incredible spec. I’ve only ever had older BMW’s & this one is just so special.

However. I have spine injury plus knee & foot injuries (on left side of course) just getting worse so I had to look for an auto. I also rescue Dobermanns but I had a cheap 'dog' compact until being sadly scrapped recently. I have now bought an E83 M-sport X3 Auto after looking for a good while. So it's time.

I Thought I was going to start going to shows again with it but my back etc & other commitments/responsibilities I’m just not up to cleaning & ‘playing’ with cars like I used to. Much as I hate to admit it.
A clean & few little things tidied up & you have a ready-made show car with big jobs already done.

This car is an incredible drive & so comfortable & safe feeling. Suits both sporty & more relaxed driving easily with plenty of power & torque, it just takes you.
I have been stopped by people many times as it’s so rare & such a beautiful example. I travelled 350 miles to fetch it. It’s stared at and smile/respect-nodded etc everywhere I go.

Beautiful M-sport refinements throughout
Carbon trim
Black leather interior in beautiful condition. Back seats look new & have never been used by me. Front seats have no tears or anything that doesn’t dye/polish up.

This was a much loved ‘project’ of a car but the owner was forced to sell it due to a separation. All the work was done by his friend who has a garage specialising in older sports cars in Irvine.

Details when I bought it-
All new brakes ,discs ,pads and callipers (330i m sport brakes front and rear)
Bushes replaced (Powerflex front and rear subframe and trailing arms)
New ball joints, track arms and track rods
LUK flywheel & LUK Clutch fitted at about 108,000 miles
Tinted rear Windows
Maxrod 24 way adjustable shock and height and preload adjustable spring, Coilover suspension all around.
Currently set soft and is totally comfortable whilst also feeling very stable if you want a bit of a smile on corners.
Very smart Custom Tony Banks stainless steel Exhaust system. Has a beautiful deep grumble but is not offensively loud at all.
Outstanding mechanical condition
Very well serviced over the years
MV1 18” wheels with new Toyo Tyres all around (£600)- (The wheels were newly refurbished and only have a few tiny marks & one small scuff on one wheel)
Very smart Xenon headlights conversion.
New Wipers
Smoked lenses all around

I Bought her as a very rare present for myself. I just had to have one before the 'automatic stage' in my life.
I really don’t find it as thirsty on fuel as you’re lead to think either. Nowhere near what I was expecting. Tax is £430 so not in the ridiculous £730 category.

Even has a ‘LOVE’ number plate.

Under my (lady BMW lover) ownership I have had a few more things done-

Subtle 12mm spacers fitted on the back.
New rear ABS/Speed sensor
Both primary Lamda sensors replaced
GM5 Electrical Control unit serviced
Main Key serviced with new battery- All fully working. There is a spare too.
Oxygen sensor replaced
Full set of NGK platinum Spark Plugs fitted
New Bosch Coil pack fitted

Completely clear MOT until April 2026. Happy to get this done before sale if the timing is right.
No warning/dash lights.

All work done by Fast Road Vehicle Solutions- BMW specialist.

Everything electrical working inc cruise control which is so useful.
Electric folding mirrors & Parking sensors.

I only do about 70 miles per week in her usually but we've had 2 700 mile round-trips to Scotland to visit my mum. She doesn't miss a beat & I feel totally safe in the chunky & bullet-proof BMW frame & interior.

The front bumper does have some curb damage underneath. Not visible unless you get under it. 1 small patch of 'top coat rubbed off' on one corner but you really have to look to notice.
Personally I would just have the bumper wrapped in the same colour if you wanted it perfect for not much outlay.
I have sanded & treated some tiny micro-blisters on the rear arches & that’s it rust wise. I will leave that to the new owner as to what they want to do but it doesn’t actually look bad.
I have cleaned & rust treated all the arches & door sills.

I am gutted to sell her but if an appreciative buyer comes along.

I don't have off-road parking so with two cars it's a difficult & and expensive additional parking space on a busy street.
I have to prioritise mine/mum's & dogs' increasing health costs :-).
Will accept £6995 or thereabouts for these reasons only.
These are going up in value quickly.

Please whatsapp ideally or email/message as calls rarely connect here.
