Product Overview
BMW 3 Series E46 LCI Convertible is a compact executive convertible in production from 2003 to 2006. It was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the LCI introduced I4 and diesel engines, which had always been available in other E46 body styles, to the Convertible. The 320Cd is particularly bemusing, as the M47 engine is rather unrefined.
Otherwise, the E46 LCI Convertible had only minor cosmetic updates.
