SUMMARY
On offer from a private Collection, this superbly presented B3 Cabrio is finished in Scarab Green Metallic (BMW Individual) with an enhanced E46 interior in soft beige Nappa leather.
DESCRIPTION
- With just 130 convertibles built, the BMW E46-based Alpina is a rare car here in the UK
- It's powered by a 3.3-litre inline-six producing 276bhp and 246lb/ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed Switch-Tronic automatic transmission with wheel shift buttons
- This fabulous example is #118, confirmed by a plaque on the dashboard, and is presented in Scarab Green Metallic from the 'BMW Individual' range of finishes
- E46 BMWs were noted for their well designed interiors and Alpina enhance this with a range of very soft leathers
- This lovely example has formed part of a small Collection recently but is now seldom used
- It's supplied with its original book pack and service history and, pleasingly, the registration B3 SNY will remain with the car
- This is a rare modern classic, attractively guided, and may turn out to be a very sensible investment
