Exclamation 2001 BMW E46 M3 Coupe

Incase anyone is interested, I might be selling my M3.

This is only for sale as I have been offered a once in a lifetime travelling opportunity which I want to take.

I **might** take a P/ex on the car if you have something interesting, and if I am to sell it will be for the right money, so looking for sensible offers please.

Car is immaculate with the odd stone chips on the front end (They all suffer from that) it took me over 3 months to find the right car for me, and if I wasn't going travelling I would never ever consider selling it, though it does pave the way for a M3 CSL when I get back

The car drives like it is new, with no creaks or rattles, the engine is simply fantastic, and the exhaust note is wonderful, having owned a STI 5 for a few years, this is a natural progression for some Scoob owners, personally I find the M3 much much more of a drivers car than the Scoob ever was.

Car details:

2001 'Y' BMW M3 (E46) (M3 Plate Not Included)
3.2 Straight Six 345 bhp
3 Previous Owners
2 Door Coupe
60,000 miles
Inspection II service about to be done (the expensive one)
Phoenix Yellow Metallic
Black Nappa Leather
19" Alloy Wheels
Satellite Navigation with Television Function
Harmon Kardon
6 Disc Changer
Electric Seats
Electric Windows
Electric Folding Mirrors
Electric Glass Sunroof
Automatic Climate Control
Self Levelling Xenon Headlights
Centre Arm Rest
Traction Control
Cruise Control
Ski Hatch
On Board Computer
Multi Function Steering Wheel
Alarm / Immobiliser
Tracker
Tax - May 31st 07
MOT - May 07
Full BMW Service History and a huge set of receipts.

Am sure there is more but I can't remember off the top of my head!

Car is always detailed with Swissol products on a weekly basis, the paintwork is super shiny!

The car has had the following subtle mods which can be sold with the car (by negotiation), or removed depending on who wants it:

K&N 69 Typhoon Induction Kit (Std Airbox Available)
Eibach Pro Race Springs (Std Springs Available)
Supersprint 4x82mm Race Rear Box (Std Back Box Available)
SSDD Motorsport 'Angel Eyes'
TV In Motion Lead
Privacy Glass - 35% Fronts 30% Rears

Anyway pics of the car, was taken before the tints and the Eibachs were fitted:











Car is based in Surrey.

Serious enquiries drop me a email or PM.

Cheers

Some of us would say that the M3 is over rated and the scooby is much more of a driver's car .....now the CSL is a different matter

good luck with the sale ....I am also looking for an M3....but in CSL mode

Indeed, but thats what makes us all individual, thats why I said personally I find the M3 more of a drivers car.

CSL is a fantastic car, and thats what I will be purchasing when I get back from my travels without a doubt, it simply is in another league this side of a Porsche for the money.

Bttt

No I definitely mean the CSL, was lucky enough to drive the RS4 the other week, found it to be devistatingly fast, however was souless imo, kinda like when I bought my STI5, and drove a Lancer Evo 5, the Scoob was the obvious choice for me as it had the character and had soul.....

I'd take the CSL, spend £5-10k on it and still have change from a RS4 and have a bigger too

Ahh.....get a CSL and spend £5-10k....However get an RS4 and you wont need to spend a Penny.... Also the 1st service i think is at 17K miles...My cousion got one for £55K when it came out afew months back and has been offered £60K for it..

souless..... Did you not push the S button? the one that made the exhaust note louder made the seats grip you from all angles...oh not to mention the awsome power increase...the handling is superb...

The look on M3 drivers when an RS4 passes...Priceless.... (sorry could not resist.)

I guess you could never convince a BMW lover....



bttt for ya...

Ah but I would want to spend....exhaust, coilovers, brakes lol

I did push the S button, don't get me wrong I think it's a fantastic car, just maybe too good, I prefer something to drive that excites me, it just didn't do it for me for some reason, looks wise, I think it's absolutely stunning.

If I was going to spend £55k on a car, it would'nt be a BMW or a Audi, it would be a 996 GT3.

BMW lover....dear o dear, ask anyone that knows me, they are usually suprised I even bought one lol

Cheers for the bttt dude
