2001 BMW M3 For SaleThis 2001 BMW M3 Convertible represents the first model year of the E46 M3 cabriolet, pairing BMW M's high-water-mark S54 engine with open-top driving. Finished in white and equipped with a black soft top, this example delivers the classic E46 proportions with the added appeal of a fully retractable roof, giving it a dual personality that few performance cars manage as well.Under the hood is the legendary 3.2-liter naturally aspirated inline-six, rated at 333 horsepower and known for its 7,900-rpm redline and razor-sharp throttle response. Power is sent through a proper 6-speed manual transmission, keeping the driving experience firmly rooted in BMW's analog performance era. No turbochargers, no artificial sound, and no modern filtering - just a high-revving engine, balanced chassis, and communicative steering that made the E46 M3 a benchmark in its time.As the debut year for the M3 convertible on the E46 platform, the 2001 model introduced open-air access to one of BMW M's most celebrated drivetrains. The chassis retains the wide track, flared fenders, and athletic stance that define the M3, while the convertible configuration adds a relaxed, grand-touring side that suits everything from back-road drives to summer cruising with the top down.Widely regarded as a modern classic, the E46 M3 stands out as one of BMW's most complete M cars, and the S54 engine remains one of the brand's most respected powerplants. This example captures that reputation in a form that blends performance pedigree with open-top enjoyment, making it equally engaging to drive hard or simply enjoy at a more relaxed pace.See the "videos" tab above this description box for a cold start and walk around.
This one currently reads below the comparable average by about $5,339, which makes documentation and condition the next things to verify.
Photo coverage is still thin at 1 image, so presentation quality is harder to judge without opening the source listing.
Documentation still reads thin here, so this is the kind of listing where invoice detail and specialist history should drive the next round of diligence.
