This one seems to check all the right boxes. Touring body style, manual transmission, BMW Individual paint, and the M Sport Package. While its mileage and minor faults prevent it from being a collector-grade example, the asking price leaves plenty of room for appreciation of what is ultimately a very uncommon specification.
While BMW Individual colors are common enough on modern M cars, spotting one on an E46 Touring is considerably less common. This particular 320i Touring is finished in Brass Metallic, known in Germany as Messing Metallic, a distinctive bronze-gold shade that suits the understated lines of BMW’s long-roof E46.
Beyond the Individual paintwork, the wagon is equipped with the desirable M Sport Package and retains BMW’s naturally aspirated inline-six paired with a manual gearbox. The seller also notes a newly installed and registered MTS coilover suspension, along with a fresh inspection.
For American enthusiasts, the wait is nearly over. Assuming a late-2002 production date, this Individual-spec E46 Touring should become eligible for import under the U.S. 25-year rule sometime in 2027.
