Description
A simply beautiful BMW Individual (Specially made to order by the first owner) E46 M3 in Estroil Blue, with a befitting cream interior. A strong case for being the best BMW every made. The body work on this modern classic has always been kept in showroom condition (garage stored). This car is an original in every sense of the word. I have been lucky to own this beauty since 2012 & it has had full BMW Service History up until around 99,000. It was predominantly kept in the North East of England and bought and sold between a few accountants in its first 10 years of existence. It then changed hands between some showrooms and was acquired by SSC in Yorkshire which is where I purchased it from.
The car has been kept in the garage and only driven in the spring/ summer, it boasts Michelin Pilot 4s tyres all round. It has its original alloys which have been freshly refurbished with a diamond cut finish. The roof works perfectly & the engine is in pristine condition. It also has Harmon Kardon speakers. A straight 6, naturally aspirated engine which has the most beautiful rasp that you're likely to ever have to pleasure of listening to.
In the first couple of years ownership, I used it as a daily car in the summer months. It then spent a few years off the road when I went to work abroad. Even when it was off the road, I arranged for an oil change every year.
The coolant has been flushed every 2 years in my ownership along with the brake fluid every 3 years.
In the last decade it has done a mere 4,000 miles. These miles have consisted of taking the car out for its annual MOT & service, a visit to the detailer, the odd wedding/function and an anniversary countryside drive with my better half.
Due to a house move around Covid, some of the invoices have sadly been misplaced, however, it boasts a full BMW service history up until approximately 99,000 and then BMW specialists have serviced it since then. On the topic of invoices, there are invoices since 2021 available. In 2025 it has had some extensive work done including:
SMG pump replacement (2025)
Brand new clutch (2025)
Clutch actuator (2025)
Brand new BMW battery (2024) which is still under warranty from BMW.
In 2021/22 when the mileage was at approximately 108,000 miles it had the following done at a BMW specialist - invoices available.
