This 2004 BMW 330Ci convertible remained under the care of its first owner in California up until the seller’s September 2023 purchase, and it now has 50k miles. The car was specified in Jet Black over Natural Brown leather, and it was optioned with the Premium Package, the Sport Package, 18″ Style 71 wheels, adaptive xenon headlights, rear Park Distance Control, heated front sport seats, and a Harman Kardon sound system. Power comes from a 3.0-liter M54 inline-six paired with a five-speed automatic transmission, and additional equipment includes a black convertible soft top, a wind deflector, and automatic climate control. This E46 convertible is now offered with a window sticker, manufacturer’s literature, a service manual, service records, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Jet Black and features a black convertible soft top as well as adaptive xenon headlights, fog lights, power-adjustable side mirrors, rear parking sensors, and dual exhaust outlets. There are indentations on the front-left fender and the rear bumper cover, and additional exterior details are shown in up close in the gallery.
The 18″ Style 71 wheels are mounted with Continental ExtremeContact tires that show date codes from 2010 and 2012. The car is equipped with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and All Season Traction (AST), and braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs. The power steering high-pressure hose was replaced in November 2020. The seller notes that the car pulls slightly to the right and the front-right brake will intermittently squeak.
The cabin features heated power-adjustable front sport seats upholstered in Natural Brown leather as well as wood trim accents on the dashboard and door panels. Amenities include front seat power lumbar support, a Harman Kardon sound system, a BMW Business CD stereo, automatic climate control, a wind deflector, and cruise control. The front passenger airbag was replaced in April 2015, and the Multiple Restraint System (MRS) module was replaced in September 2022.
The multi-function leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 155-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset fuel economy gauge, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 50k miles, approximately 1,500 of which were added under current ownership.
The 3.0-liter M54B30 inline-six was factory rated at 225 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque. Valve cover gaskets were replaced in December 2021, the battery was replaced in July 2022, drive belts were replaced in September 2023, and an oil change was performed in July 2024.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. The seller notes a leak from the oil pan gasket.
The window sticker lists initial delivery to Peter Pan BMW in San Mateo, California, along with standard features, options, and a total suggested retail price of $50,220.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other damage.
