I am looking for a fun 4 seater (two kids in the back) convertible for a bit of spinning about over the summer. Budget is about £15k and I've always had a notion for a e46 M3 convertible..... but I don't know a pile about them.
I've did a bit of reading on the various forums, etc. but responses range from "bullet-proof" to "don't touch with barge-pole", therefore I would been keen to hear from anybody on RMS that has owned one. I appreciate that the convertible isn't going to be as sharp as the coupe but it's something I can accept for the "roof-down-occasion". I'm more concerned with whether I should avoid the SMG, what common faults they have and what essential / preventative maintenance should have been carried out on a well looked after car, etc.
This one here has p***ked my interest

Obviously not having the 19" M3 wheels, and the fake carbon kidneys, etc. aren't desirable (but can be sorted) but I though it looked good for the money. I would really appreciate some critique from anybody on here who knows more than I do about e46s.
Or alternatively if anybody knows of a nice clean one for sale locally??
