Default M3 Evolution Cabriolet, Estoril Blue, 75k, FSH

Immaculate M3 evolution convertible, 321 BHP, 6 speed manual, FSH, with I-Pod connection and Bluetooth. Top spec with all extras including dual zone climate control, parking sensors, and headlamp washers.

Full service history (All BMW Main Dealer, last 2 Specialist), and just had an oil and VANOS service on 3rd January 2009. Service book all fully stamped up, including the all-important running-in service.

No expense spared on upkeep, and mostly driven during summer months. Folder full of bills, service history, all original documentation and all keys.

It is in Estoril blue (the best colour), and is totally standard and immaculate throughout. This car was in excess of £46k new, and is still mint with absolutely everything in perfect working order, and I welcome any inspection, all electrics etc perfect.

The fully electric hood is the optional dark blue, which suits the car, and this again is in perfect condition and works perfectly, as well as being perfectly watertight and breeze free (even at high speed). I get the roof treated (cleaned and protected) every quarter, to keep in excellent condition.

Full M3 spec plus:
• No Smoker Package
• BMW Motorsport Dish Alloys
• Electric Mirrors
• Electric Windows x 4 (all one touch and one touch for all windows)
• Cream Leather interior
• 6 Speed Manual
• Fully Automated Dark Blue Hood
• Automatic Air Conditioning, Dual Zone Climate Control
• Auto Dim Interior Mirror
• Headlamp Washer System
• On Board Computer
• Polished Burr Walnut Trim
• Front Centre Armrest
• Brand new JVC Head unit with Bluetooth, phone connection and i-pod/aux-in
• Rollover Protection System
• Original BMW Toolkit
• Original BMW First Aid Kit
• Original rechargeable M3 torch in glove box
• Perfect 5th alloy spare
• Rear Parking Sensors
• 3.2 Litre straight 6 producing 321 Bhp and 350 Nm torque
• 0-60mph 5.3 seconds, limited to 155mph
• Tracker fitted
• Cat 1 Alarm
• Full HPI Report (All Clear)


Services at:
24/04/1997 1,068 (Running In)
05/03/1998 7,291
19/09/1998 15,254 (Inspection I)
31/08/1999 23,546
10/07/2000 30,238 (Inspection II)
10/04/2002 37,841 (Inspection I)
14/11/2002 42,447
23/04/2003 45,608
27/05/2005 51,901 (Inspection II)
11/06/2007 58,498
28/12/2007 64,694 (New Clutch)
07/02/2008 65,741
07/02/2008 65,741 (Inspection I)
03/01/2009 74,121

All green service lights at the moment, so should be around 8k miles to next service, depending on use. Runs like new, gearbox tight, no rattles, awesome performance, engine is probably only just run in at these miles.

New clutch 10k miles ago, and new rear springs last year. Surprisingly good on fuel, I have managed 400+ miles to a tank (32+ mpg) on a long run, and have averaged 26mpg for the last few thousand miles, mainly stop start commuting and country roads.

All tyres good. MOT until May, and recently taxed for a year (only costs £185 p.a. due to being pre-2001). Not the usual tat, cherished since day one, a modern classic.

Selling due to recently upgrading to a 3 child family, hence need for a bigger bahn-stormer (E39 M5 ideally).

M3 *** plate optional.

































£7995 ono

There you go, I forgot the most important bit: last 2 owners Scoobynetters who are both fastidious about their motors!
How's it going Scott - what are you driving now?
The car is looking mint and going well too, and I don't really want to sell it, but could do with 5 seats so want to upgrade to an M5 - until then I'll be enjoying the sun
I did ponder getting a P1 - anyone know if there's 3 seatbelts in the back?

Good choice with M5 Stu, if you look in members gallery under my user name and TurboDean, and see for yourself, absolute monster, entered in Scoobysprint with it

Sorry foy hi-jack pal, free bump for best fully loaded M3 out there, from a totally genuine seller

Must admit, after today, selling isn't so attractive, although I think my slaphead will hurt in the morning

Looking to sell outright or may do a deal with an E39 M5, Audi S4 4.2 or maybe a Mitsi Evo VI/VII.

2 brand new rear tyres today (£220), 12 1/2 months MOT and I am now dropping the price to £7495 ovno to sell.
No stupid offers, this is the best low mileage M3 you'll find, and the best colour too.
