2005 BMW 330cd M Sport E46 Black Coupe
Welcome to my auction. Unfortunately, the time has come for me to sell my beloved BMW E46 330cd. I am selling as a coupe isn't practical for my growing family so I'm going to be driving sensibly for a while. Someone out there will be getting a really great car as it has been superbly maintained and the subtle modifications really add to the already long specification.
I have owned the car for just over a year now and in that time I have cleaned and serviced it regularly with the best parts available. I bought the car on 73k miles and it came with full BMW service history until 63k. Having owned an E46 325ci for 3 years prior to purchasing this car, I set about the servicing the car as soon as I'd bought it and changed the oil & filter with Castrol Edge 5w-30, oil separator with newer vortex type, air filter, cabin filter, fuel filter and engine coolant. Since then, I have changed the rear brake pads and had the starter motor replaced (common problem on these especially when it gets cold!). Mileage is now 88k and it has been serviced throughout the last year as I like to keep everything running well. I have a lot of receipts for parts bought and can go through the fitting process with anyone who wants to query my mechanical skills!
The BMW service book has the following stamps (also shown in the pictures below):
The car is metallic black sapphire and the bodywork and paint are in very good condition. The chassis is straight and true with no accident damage. The interior is beige leather with walnut trim and this combination is very nice. I was sceptical at first as I thought it would look quite 'mature' but it actually looks very sleek and stylish and sets the black paint off extremely well.
This is the full M-Sport version. It even has sport on the V5 to verify this and as such comes with the larger brakes, stiffer suspension, tweaked gearbox for sport mode, m-sport door sills etc etc. The car also has the winter package which includes headlight washer jets, heated front seats, xenons and fold down rear seats.
Here is the full spec list:

Here is the full spec list:
Vehicle Features
- BMW 330 3.0 24v 6-cylinder Diesel M57N Engine - this is the later version of the M57 engine and does not suffer from swirl flaps issues
- 204 BHP but I also have an Abrieb chip which can increase power and torque by roughly 35hp. This can be easily fitted but was removed by me recently as I wasn't using the car regularly enough to warrant the need for extra power. Negotiable whether supplied with car. The car already has bags of torque and is comfortable at low and high speeds.
- 5 Speed Auto/Steptronic Gearbox w/ Sport Mode - this is a very smooth gearbox with the option of manual shifting and sport mode for extra fun
- Full Beige Leather interior with walnut burr dash and trim. Also comes with anthracite headlining which was an optional extra
- Electric Windows all round, Electric heated door mirrors, Electric memory heated seats, Auto Lights which are activated when it detects low light levels, Auto-dimming rear view mirror, Tyre pressure sensor, Climate control, Ice cold air conditioning, bmw velour mats, m-sport door sills, Front/Rear fog lights, 6 Airbags
- Drilled & Grooved Front Brake Discs and new pads fitted less than 3 weeks ago. Stopping power is excellent and the discs are much better than standard in the wet although are a little noisier
- Metallic Black Sapphire Paint- the car is washed with Poorboys shampoo, polished with a Silverline Rotary Polishing Machine using Menzerna polishes and then waxed using Poorboys Natty's Blue Carnauba Wax once every 2 weeks. This keeps the paintwork in top condition and gets me out of the house for a few hours ;)
- Alloys have been upgraded to Genuine 19" MV4 alloy wheels which were removed from a 2007 BMW 335i. These are very expensive wheels and I waited for quite some time before finding some that weren't buckled or damaged. The rear tyres are 235/35/19 Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's and are probably the best tyres I've ever had on a car. The grip is unrelenting and were it not for a lack of availability I would have put them on the front too. These were fitted brand new in August so have plenty of life left in them. The fronts are 225/35/19 Yokohama Advan Sports. One has 5mm left and the other slightly less but they should be good for a fair few miles yet as the fronts don't wear as quickly on these cars
- Rear genuine LED lights from factory
- Front 6k bi-xenon projector headlights from factory with 6k angel eyes fitted. The xenons are very bright and really help illuminate the road at night. The angel eyes are very hard to fit on the facelift coupes so this is quite rare and looks excellent
- Front and rear BMW M-Tech number plate surrounds with new number plates 6 months ago. Also has LED number plate lights in the rear
- Full Beige Leather Interior including front and rear sports seats and door cards. Front seats are electric memory and are also heated which is excellent for the winter.
- Brown Walnut Burr dash trim including gear knob and surround
- Black/Anthracite Headlining which is only available on some models. I'm not sure if this is included in the winter or m-sport package but I know it's only found on the top spec models
- Multifunction Black Leather Sport Steering Wheel with telephone/radio controls
- Silver/Chrome Dial Surrounds similar to those found on the 330i. These are not available on the 330cd and are a nice subtle upgrade
- M-Tech Chrome Door Lock Pins which, again, are a subtle upgrade
- Velour BMW floor mats - show some signs of wear but generally in good condition
- Centre Arm Rest in leather
- Rear Centre Detachable Seat Belt which is very rare on the coupes as they usually come with the standard belt or none at all for the middle seat!
- First Aid Kit under front passenger seat
- Widescreen Colour Satellite Navigation System - this has been upgraded to v32 software and is now running 2010 map disc. The software upgrade also means that you can search by postcode which the older version didn't support. There are also additional features such as night/day mode toggle, voice speed camera alerts, points of interest and various other useful mods. The splash screen which displays when you enter the car has also been updated to an M-Sport logo and Nurburgring design which is 100% better than the original. The map display background is also updated and perspective mode is activated meaning the road layout is much clearer and not just from a birds eye view.
- Digital TV Tuner with all freeview channels and teletext available
- Bluetooth Telephone Prep which can store up to 5 phones and can be controlled from the steering wheel and display names/numbers on the screen
- Harmon Kardon Speaker Upgrade - this includes the full amp setup in the boot in addition to the speaker upgrades. If you love your music like me, then it makes a massive difference having this as the acoustics and sound-proofing in the car are superb.
- Alpine 6 CD changer with mp3 support in the boot and single CD slot behind the sat nav screen. The CD changer has been upgraded to an alpine unit that reads mp3 discs and is a lot sturdier than the OEM unit.
- MP3/IPOD Aux-In Cable - this is fitted behind the dash and I have run the cable down behind the glove box, inside the centre console trim and up into the coin tray so that you can plug it into your device and listen to music. It is accessed via the 'AUX' option on the nav unit and plays sounds from your device with perfect clarity. This is a really nice mod as the E46 was never made with MP3/IPOD connectivity
- Also receives all radio stations well and without issues
BAD BITS
Overall the car is in excellent working condition and I will be very sad to see it go. Hopefully an enthusiast will buy it and enjoy ownership as much as I have done.
I am open to offers but please be realistic. I am an enthusiast and a member of BMWLand and know what these cars are worth but with the modifications I have made and general maintenance of the car it should be good to go for quite some time without needing a thing. The MOT was in September of this year and the car flew through so I know everything is spot on. All elecrics work, there are no dash lights illuminated and the car is superbly reliable. Taxed until July. It is also hpi clear and I have the report certificate from when I bought the car last year.
I have changed the oil and filter less than a month ago and the air filter and cabin filter were changed again in the summer. The rear brakes and starter motor were fitted 2 weeks ago by a local independent garage so the car starts and stops perfectly every time even in very cold conditions.
I'm sure there are quite a few things that I have forgotten to include but if you have any questions please message me. Hopefully the pictures that are showing do the car justice as it really is a subtle head turner. I can email more if necessary.
I am looking to buy a bmw 320d, golf gt tdi or audi tdi but they must be 5 door, automatic and have sat nav!
I'm available on the weekends for viewings and also some week nights but test drives will be at my discretion. Sorry if this offends anyone but this car is worth a lot of money and there are too many idiots out there!
- Usual stone chips to the front bumper
- Small damage to the back of the front passenger seat where my son gets in and out. Noticeable but not a massive issue at all unless you sit in the back and stare at the bottom of the seat!
- Alloys are a little scuffed. Ideally I wanted to get them refurbished but will leave this to the new owner to decide. Should cost no more than £50 per wheel if that
