Description
The BMW E46 Convertible is the factory-built convertible variant of the BMW E46, a highly regarded compact executive car produced by BMW from 1998 to 2006.
The E46 Convertible was crafted as a dedicated open-top vehicle, providing a complete convertible experience from the factory. It was designed to offer a seamless blend of luxury, performance, and open-air driving pleasure while upholding BMW's standards for safety and engineering excellence.
Featuring a power-operated fabric soft-top roof, the E46 Convertible allowed for effortless and swift transformation from a closed cabin to an open-top configuration. The convertible top was equipped with an electric mechanism, enabling easy operation to raise or lower the roof.
BMW integrated structural reinforcements and enhancements into the E46 Convertible to maintain the car's rigidity and safety despite the removal of the fixed roof. These modifications aimed to uphold the driving dynamics and safety standards associated with BMW vehicles.
The E46 Convertible inherited the E46's design cues, offering a range of engine options and trim levels. It encompassed the performance-oriented nature of the E46 series, providing enthusiasts with a choice of engines delivering varying power outputs, coupled with luxurious interior features and driving comforts.
This factory-built E46 Convertible is cherished by BMW enthusiasts for its classic design, refined driving dynamics, and the joy of open-top motoring, representing a harmonious combination of performance, elegance, and the thrill of driving with the top down.

Pricing
At present, our inability to furnish pricing online stems from the dynamic nature of global economics, which has led to substantial fluctuations in the costs of parts and materials on a day-to-day basis. The intricate interplay of market forces, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical factors has rendered pricing incredibly volatile, making it challenging to provide accurate and up-to-date figures in real-time.
As we remain committed to offering fair and transparent pricing to our customers, we find it prudent to ensure that any pricing information reflects the current market reality, hence our decision to refrain from online pricing until we can reliably provide figures that align with the ongoing fluctuations in the global economy.
