2001 BMW M3 For Sale
This 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.
