2009 2008 BMW E93 330D SE Convertible

Highlights

• Attractive high specification Atlantic Blue car with Jade Grey leather
• Well-regarded 245bhp straight six turbo diesel with 6spd auto box
• Well maintained with regular servicing to October 2025
• Factory-fitted with paddle shift and driver's memory heated seats
• Recent differential overhaul with all new parts and receipts retained
• MOT valid to May 2026

The Appeal

The E93 added a clever folding hard top and more modern, comfortable set up to build upon the achievements of the highly regarded E46. Of the many, many engine options, the M57 3L 245bhp straight turbo diesel is one of the best-regarded for its mix of punch and economy.

This car eschews the usual blacks and silvers in favour of an attractive Atlantic Blue finish, which is matched to a Jade Grey leather cabin. It is a well specified car, from the multispoke alloys to the electric heated seats with their memory operation. The car was also factory-fitted with paddle shifts to operate the clever 6spd automatic gearbox.

The vendor acquired the car in 2023 and has continued the high maintenance theme of previous keepers. The service book shows 13 stamps up to October 2025. At the same time as the last service the differential was refurbished. The current MOT runs to May 2026.

The vendor says:

“Been looking for a 330d for a while and this stood out due to its colour and condition. Sequential paddle gear change I believe was a factory order along with driver's memory heated seats. Non molested and all original inc bluetooth and sat nav systems. Like the originality of the vehicle. I have added the floating centre caps !”
