2003 E46 M3

Recommended Posts

Hope everyone is having a good weekend, in spite of the latest installment in the anniversary weekend weather saga. 

Just testing the waters really before I list the car on Trademe, I'm looking to sell my M3. That old chestnut of genuinely needing something more practical - as it turns out not only do kids grow, so does the amount of gear they accumulate. 

NZ New, Titan Siver Metallic, black leather interior. Almost complete service history (including new engine at c. 45,000km!... kudos to the original owner), have taken to servicing at indendent specialists following some main dealer misadventures. Originally SMG, converted to manual Dec 2019 (along with install of Karbonius CSL intake) courtesy of Hell BM and KBM. CM Wheels CSL replica alloys (19s) with Michelin Pilot Sport 4Ss. Genuine CSL front brake discs with upgraded mounting brackets. Have original intake and caliper brackets.  Special shout out to Tom for his tireless help with this (and subsequent tune), a fountain of knowledge and a true gentleman... I owe you lots of coffee (and two rear shocks!). 

Recent $6k service (cheers Luke at Skunkworks, Devonport), including powder coating rear subframe, installation of Revshift 80A subframe, trailing arm and diff mount bushes, new battery, diff refurb (by KBM).  Subframe has previously been reinforced, both plates and structural foam.

To-do list:

- Front right headlight occasionally slow to ignite... have a spare headlight, just haven't found the time. 

- E60 M5 (US spec) gearknob a bit, erm, patina'd. 

- New brake pads needed (will organise before sale). 

I have owned the car for 8.5 years, saw heavy use for the first 12 months, more occasional use since the kids arrived. Easily one of the best condition E46s I have seen, and I have seen a lot.  If I was looking now, this would be my dream spec - I cannot even begin to stress how transformative the carbon intake is to the overall experience. It literally defines the car.  Happy to answer any further questions (either here, [email protected], or on 0211229081). Looking for offers in the region of $42,000. Cheers. 

Jason.

Cheers Neil, much appreciated. The colour is stunning, particularly in low light, and that's from a guy who was originally looking for Carbon Schwarz and nothing else. 😅
