5-SPEED MANUAL 325i Sedan E46, Clear Title, NO RESERVE

2001 BMW 3-Series Sedan 4-Door E46 Description

Rare 5-speed manual 325i (E46) Sedan. I have owned it since 2005 and purchased it off-lease from CarMax, so it is a 2-owner car. It has been garaged and regularly maintained since I’ve owned it. There is nothing I could say to top the reams of glowing reviews the E46 5-speed manual has garnered over the years like these:

"An easy car to drive fast; you pretty much know what it's going to do." "This 325i is really buttoned down in the twisties." "The steering is beautifully direct and nicely weighted." "Again, the BMW guys reveal their genius for tuning." "Isolation is good, yet communication through the controls is clear and confidence inspiring." "…[T]he usual brilliant balance between ride and handling." Car and Driver, March 2004

The E46 is the most desirable BMW model of the last few decades - it is simple, fun, reliable, had a small footprint, looked good and is easy to modify.The clutch on this vehicle is almost new and with minimal use. The interior is terrific with little sign of wear. The paint is in great condition for its age, apart from some scrapes (see below).It is supremely fun to drive and there is nothing that connects you to the road as effectively as a BMW manual transmission.

Some issues: I was backed into by a delivery truck while parked in a garage lot. You can see the damage to the front driver’s side of the car. The suspension was inspected and repaired, so all that needs is an alignment. There is a small crack to the driver’s side mirror. The driver’s window sticks. The trunk lid latch works, but is loose. There is a small patch of bubbling paint on the passenger rear quarter panel.Top up the oil between service intervals. The photos are only a week old and so you judge for yourself.

Please email me if you would like to arrange an inspection. Final payment and delivery will be in Alexandria, VA.If you are shipping the vehicle, payment must be received prior to transport.Pick-up must be within one week of winning bid unless we have come to another agreement.

HAPPY BIDDING!!
