Up for sale is a one owner, 2003 BMW M3 6 speed manual in Carbon Black Metallic over black leather. This car was owned and meticulously cared for by the original owner who acquired the vehicle in 2003. Since then it has been garage kept and babied. It has approximately 43,800 miles on it and will stay that way until it is sold.

I purchased it outright with intentions of running it and keeping it forever but my dream Porsche came up within days after I acquired this car. As a result, I have to let this car go. I did not register it. It was always serviced at the dealer and it completely unmolested with all original parts.

The 67M 19" OEM forged wheels are custom hyper polished to a mirror finish. They are in excellent condition and are wrapped in BFGoodrich G-Force KDW tires with approximately 90% tread life left. Brakes are in excellent shape as well.

The body of the car is free of any dings or scratches. The front bumper shows some minor rock chips, they're barely noticeable at best. Otherwise the paint is in excellent shape and is buttery smooth. I have lots of other pics including original documents, the dealer maintenance performed and title.
The clutch feels as if its new. This car was definitely driven conservatively. The owner only took it out on weekends and clearly eased off the clutch. I have owned 5 E46 M3's (not including this one) and this easily outclasses all of the previously owned models. It is extremely tight and is probably one of the best examples nationally right now.

If you're looking at this car, you're obviously after this specific type of model for more than a few reasons. This is the last naturally aspirated inline 6 M3 featuring the high strung S54 motor with an 8000 RPM redline. It literally sings to you as you drive it. It is manual and as such offers a much more engaging driving experience. The weight and size of the E46 M3 is well balanced. It has hydraulic steering which is no longer available and has the "magic feel" of the classic BMW's. It is truly priceless.

The only damage this car ever experienced was someone backing into the fender which was replaced and repaired at the dealership with no expenses spared. There was no other damage sustained, nor were any other components affected. Please feel free to contact me at any time at 917-432-7548.

As far as I can tell, the options for this vehicle are as follows:
1. Carbon Black Metallic
2. Black Dakota Leather Interior
3. Manual 6 speed transmission
4. Sunroof
5. BMW Harman Kardon Business Audio
6. Style 67M 19" Forged Wheels
7. Xenon Headlights
8. Automatic Windshield Wipers

She is truly a gem and the new owner will be thrilled to have purchased a legend. I fear I may deeply regret this one day.

 

The spirit is willing but the budget is too dam weak!!!! GLWS!!!!

 

Any of the major maintenance items done? Vanos subframe rod bearings? This light be a good bat candidate
