Description
I will regret this but I'm selling my much loved Manual Coupe E46 M3. Silver Grey with black interior.
I have owned the car for almost 10 years. 4 of which it was declared SORN as I lived in London and didn't want an idiot reversing into it. It has 3 previous owners, the last owner I knew and only had it for a few months but had to sell it due to financial difficulties. The owner before that owned it for 8/9 years and maintained it well.
In terms of the big 3; I had the rod bearings done in 2024. As a preventative measure, the RCAP and boot floor was reinforced and had plates welded by Matt at ETA motorsport (E46 M3 specialist). He put a brace on the inside boot floor, which spreads the strain from the axle that causes the infamous cracks, preventing this from being an issue in future. I have a lot of photos of the work but just included a couple. He carried out a check on the Vanos and said the tabs that can wear looked in good condition so work wasn't required. It also had an inspection two/big service done at the time.
The paintwork is in great condition and wheel arches are all solid. The service history is extensive with between 25-30k spent on it. I change the oil regularly with proof of items used. It's always been warmed up properly and always used 99 octane fuel.
It has subtle modifications; a custom lightweight exhaust which sounds amazing. Performance air filter and a remap to maximise performance (photo included). It has been polybushed all round and is currently on Gaz Gold coilovers with adjustable suspension and high quality CSL replica wheels that have recently been professionally refurbished and wrapped in a new set of Bridgestone Potenza Sport Evo's.
It was my dream car, I always catch myself looking at it and it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.
I'm selling because I'm starting a business and this is not a viable car for it. As I said I will no doubt regret this.
Silly offers and messages will be ignored. I will only take genuine buyers for a test drive. Proof of fully comprehensive insurance would be needed if a genuine buyer would like to drive it.
If you're looking for a well cared for e46 m3 manual coupe in the classic CSL Silver Grey, this is the one you want.
