Basic information and history

The BMW 320Ci Cabriolet, model year 2002, belongs to the E46 generation, a model series that many consider one of the most appealing 3 Series, with its clean lines and balanced chassis. The cabriolet was introduced in 2000 and shares its basic construction with the coupé, but features an electrically operated fabric roof and a reinforced body. Under the bonnet of the 320Ci sits the straight-six naturally aspirated M54B22 engine at 2.2 litres, producing 170 horsepower and 210 Nm, known for its smooth running and characteristic sound. Power is sent to the rear wheels, delivering the classic BMW driving experience in an open-top car that remains fully usable for everyday driving. The 2002 model year also means this car is one of the last before the facelift that came to the coupé and cabriolet models in 2003.

This example was sold new in Sweden and has an odometer reading of only 11,300 km, a figure guaranteed by the seller. The car has had a total of 11 owners. There is no loan on the vehicle and no deductible VAT. As an extra accessory, a wind deflector is included, which enhances comfort when driving with the top down.

• Audio and media system

According to the seller, the car has been fully serviced, and the service history is supported by receipts and documentation that accompany the car. Together with the guaranteed odometer reading, this gives the buyer good insight into how the car has been maintained over the years.
