Car is now SOLD pending payment to Ryan in Brisbane. (Dec22)

It appears you gotta be fast in this current market!

 

e46 M3 Touring SMG RHD tribute car based on the variant they never produced! (well, just the one concept car). 

Built in 2015 by HellBM in Auckland using a donor M3 and 318i Motorsport Touring.

Featuring M3 or better spec this car has everything from rear view mirror to M3 spare wheel well delete. It is as close to the concept M3 Touring as you will get.

There is an extensive thread  that followed the build process right here on Bimmersport.  Browsing the thread is better than me listing everything that has been

done on this car.

There are additional tasteful modifications completed by WerksGarage since the HellBM build that include:

  • Recaro SR7 front seats trimmed in M-Sport fabric
  • CSL-style alcantara steering wheel
  • Dynavin navigation with Bluetooth & rearview camera
  • Porsche-sourced Brembo calipers front and rear
  • CSL 2-piece front brake rotors
  • Pagid RS19 brake pads
  • Adjustable front camber/caster plates
  • BMW E9X M3 19" staggered rims
  • Michelin PS4S tyres

The car is also currently presented with:

  • Bilstein PPS10 adjustable suspension
  • CSL reflash engine DME
  • CSL reflash on the SMG DME Auto Blip
  • New clutch
  • New starter
  • New battery
  • Sold with current WOF and REGO
  • The car is LVVT certified for all modifications 

This is the "one car to do it all".

Fit kids seats, carry all the gear and still do trackdays.

I'm only selling to get finance my way into a 1M ... otherwise I would keep it!

Asking price is cents in the dollar on the input.

This car is in pristine condition and so very unique, I challenge you to find another!

Car is located in Palmerston North, NEW ZEALAND.

Happy to assist with PPI, transport, etc.

Best way of informing yourself of the quality of this build (the rear panels took 6 days to fabricate!) is to read the build thread on Bimmersport.co.nz
https://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/50043-e46-

The car was featured on Pistonheads back in 2018.

Car has an Agency Power back box installed.   Reasonably muted in the cabin, but some refined spits and burbles from the exterior.  I would describe the car as a 'Gentlemans Grand Tourer", but that probably describes my personal driving style as opposed to what this car can do!

Hope the crypto market picks up sooner rather than later.  Currently at $72nzd, so THIS for well less tha 1 BTC seems a bargain..........

Did Ryan in Brisbane follow through? I know from selling cars here with interest from Oz that even with best intentions it's a painful and expensive process on their side that frequently ends up with them bailing.

Ryan from Brisbane now owns the car.    Money paid, and car gone.  A very nice transaction from my point of view to a genuine car guy who I am very confident will enjoy and look after the car.  It will stay in NZ for a short time at least until the Aus logistics are sorted.
