Description
Up for sale is my 2005 BMW E46 M3 SMG Coupe in Carbon Black with Imola Red leather one of the best colour combinations for these cars, and getting harder to find.
It's covered around 87,000 miles and has had the important mechanical work taken care of, making it a great example for someone who wants a properly sorted M3 they can enjoy straight away.
Major work done in the last 12,000 miles:
- Rod bearings replaced
- VANOS system replaced
- SMG pump and relay replaced
Drives spot-on with smooth SMG shifts and a strong engine. These are common weak points on the E46, so knowing they've been dealt with gives real peace of mind.
The car is in good overall condition. Paintwork still looks sharp, with some age-related marks here and there as expected for a car of this age. The Imola Red leather interior is clean and well-kept with only minor wear.
Wheels are the original 19" M double-spokes, brakes and tyres are all in good shape, and everything works as it should inside and out.
Comes with a folder of receipts, invoices and service stamps covering maintenance over the years, including the major work mentioned above.
Additional details:
- MOT until 9th June 2026. First time pass with no advisories on last MOT.
- HPI clear
- 2 keys + valet key
- Private plate not included in the sale
This is a solid, well-maintained E46 M3 with the expensive work already done. A great spec, honest condition, and a car you can drive and enjoy from day one.
