Vehicle Specifications & FeaturesThe 2003 BMW M3 Convertible 2D (E46 generation) represents an iconic era of BMW M division performance engineering, combining motorsport-derived mechanical components with open-top grand touring versatility. Built on a reinforced unitized chassis platform with M-tuned suspension geometry, a wider track, and a low center of gravity, the E46 M3 Convertible delivers high-revving driving dynamics alongside distinct early-2000s design cues.
Under the sculpted aluminum powerdome hood lies the legendary 3.2-liter naturally aspirated S54 SOHC/DOHC 24-valve Inline 6-cylinder engine equipped with double-VANOS variable valve timing and six individual throttle bodies. This mechanical engine generates 333 horsepower at 7,900 RPM and 262 lb-ft of torque at 4,900 RPM, redlining at an incredible 8,000 RPM. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a standard 6-speed manual transmission or the optional 6-speed SMG II (Sequential Manual Gearbox) with steering-wheel paddle shifters and Drivelogic shift control. Torque is managed by an M Variable Differential Lock capable of transferring up to 100% of available power to the wheel with traction. Supported by an all-aluminum subframe, M suspension setup, engine-speed-sensitive rack-and-pinion steering, and 4-wheel ventilated cross-drilled disc brakes, the 3,781-lb M3 Convertible accelerates from 0 to 60 MPH in 5.4 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 MPH.
On the exterior, the 2003 M3 Convertible is distinguished by flared wheel arches, aggressive front air dams, a distinctive hood powerdome with dual character lines, M side fender gills with chrome badging, aerodynamic heated side mirrors, LED taillights (introduced for the 2003.5 mid-year refresh), and signature quad round exhaust tailpipes. The vehicle features a fully automatic insulated cloth soft top with a glass rear window that stows neatly into a dedicated rear compartment. The M3 maintains a firmly planted stance rolling on standard 18-inch M 10-spoke alloy wheels (Style 67) wrapped in staggered performance tires (with 19-inch forged alloy wheels widely optioned).
Inside, the driver-centric 2+2 cabin accommodates up to four occupants in a high-end luxury sanctuary draped in Nappa leather upholstery with M-embossed front headrests. Interior amenities include 10-way power M sport seats with 4-way power lumbar and driver memory, M leather-wrapped steering wheel with tri-color stitching, Automatic Climate Control, dynamic instrument cluster with variable redline tachometer LEDs, titanium or aluminum shadow interior trim, and rain-sensing wipers. Digital connectivity features center around the studio-quality premium Harman Kardon® Surround Sound System, CD player, auxiliary input compatibility, and an optional DVD-based central Navigation screen.
Practicality and interior spatial utility remain balanced for a 2-door performance convertible built on a 107.5-inch wheelbase. With the soft top raised, the trunk provides 10.6 cubic feet of cargo volume. When the soft top is lowered into its storage compartment, cargo space adjusts slightly to 9.5 cubic feet, accommodating travel bags or daily luggage.
Backed by a 16.6-gallon fuel tank, the naturally aspirated 3.2L I6 achieves an EPA-estimated 15 MPG city and 22 MPG highway (18 MPG combined) for manual transmission models. Safety engineering includes Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with M Dynamic mode setti
