(London – Monday October 10th 2016)

Hexagon Modern Classics is delighted to offer for sale a trio of incredibly low mileage BMW E46 3-Series Coupes, which have collectively covered under 7,000-miles – less than the average driver travels in a single year.

Presented in time-warp condition, all three cars are so immaculate they could have just left the Munich factory and represent possibly the best examples of the E46 – which is fast becoming a modern classic – currently on sale anywhere in the world.

Lowest mileage of the three is a Silver Grey with Black Dakota leather 330Ci M Sport (http://bit.ly/2do9wh7), which has covered just 1,300-miles, making it possibly the lowest mileage E46 Coupe in existence. Its factory-fitted highlights include an automatic gearbox, electric glass sunroof, electric front driver seats and 18-inch M Sport double spoke alloy wheels, while under the bonnet is BMW's smooth 231PS 3.0-litre straight six-cylinder engine. It is priced at £20,995.

If it's more performance you're after, then Hexagon has an Alpine White with black nappa leather M3 (http://bit.ly/2dXFEa4), which has covered just 2,300-miles from new. Packing M Division's incredible 343PS 3.2-litre S54 straight six-cylinder engine, its factory-fitted options include the SMG paddleshift gearbox, a Harmon Kardon stereo, voice control and an electric sunblind to the rear window, to name just a few highlights. It is priced at £49,995.

Completing the trio is a 2002-registered 330Ci Clubsport (http://bit.ly/2dpfbRQ) which has covered just 3,200-miles, equating to an average annual mileage of 230 miles over its 14-year life. Presented in Estoril Blue with black alcantara and leather seats, this limited production version of the 330Ci Coupe comes with 18-inch Clubsport alloy wheels, a Clubsport rear spoiler and front bumper aerodynamic splitters. It is priced at £23,995.

Paul Michaels, chairman of Hexagon Modern Classics, said: 'The E46 Coupe is one of the best BMWs ever. From the grand tourer appeal of the 330Ci to the razor sharp M3, which offers almost Porsche 911 levels of performance, there's something for everyone and values of these modern classics are only going up for the best examples.

'Plenty were produced though so it's rare to find one E46 Coupe with such low mileage. To find three is almost unheard of and a testament to Hexagon's exceptional contacts. I'm amazed that the previous owners managed to drive them so little – for most people the temptation would have been overwhelming! The fact that they have all been looked after so incredibly well is only good news for prospective buyers. They now represent arguably the best examples on sale anywhere in the world today.'

Hexagon

Hexagon has had one careful owner for over 50 years. Paul Michaels, Hexagon Chairman, started the business in 1963. From a small mews in North London, Hexagon quickly built a reputation for being passionate about road and racing cars.

It became the official dealer of some of the most prestigious brands in the world, including Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Lotus and Reliant, not to mention London's leading BMW dealer for over 45 years. During that time, Hexagon also committed to car racing. It began racing D-Type Jaguars, Formula 5000 and during its most adventurous period, entered into Formula One in 1973/74, with driver John Watson driving a Brabham BT44 to its best finish of 4th in Austria and picking up a very respectable six points for the season.

Racing, with a particular emphasis on history, remains a passion, evidenced by the purchase of a 1987 Porsche 962, raced twice at Le Mans finishing 4TH and 8th respectively. It's one of the most original examples in the world, and can be seen in the Modern Classics showroom in East Finchley.

But as the classic market continues to prosper and diversify into the more modern classic models, Paul and his team – lead by Jonathan Kaiser in the classics division and Jonathan Franklin in the modern classics division is harnessing its wealth of experience to bring you the very best.

Its unrivalled contacts and reach across the world means that if the car you want is not in stock, it will know where and who to go to get it. And no car is offered to customers until a full and detailed inspection is undertaken.

Hexagon Classics focuses on the rarest and most collectable marques in the world and is the first port of call for any serious collector or investor.

Hexagon Modern Classics predominantly specialises in the collectable air-cooled Porsches, and we usually have over 40 Porsche models in stock at any one time. From the 356, through to the best of the 911s – the 930, 964, 993, 996, and the 997. And extending to one of Paul's personal favourites and one he believes is under-rated, the 928 GT.

Given that Porsche was one of the marques Hexagon sold new, it's entirely possible that one day the same car will re-enter stock as a classic!

Hexagon's recent partnership with Lotus marks a return to new cars, but with the Lotus' heritage steeped in racing and some iconic road-going models, it's a move that fits in with the ethos of the Hexagon brand. And with Jean-Marc Gales now at the helm, there are some exciting new Lotus developments to come.
