Description

SB's Take

  • A very tidy example of the lauded M3 with extensive maintenance file
  • Desirable manual coupe
  • Sensible Reserve price set
With its timeless design that continues to captivate and impress enthusiasts even after all these years, it's easy to see why we love E46 M3's here at SB. Under the hood, the E46 M3 houses the remarkable, naturally aspirated, 'S54' 3.2-liter straight-six engine, delivering an impressive 333 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. The inclusion of a manual transmission in this particular example enhances its appeal, building on the analog feel that's missing from a lot of modern cars. This car has also had some of this model's biggest issues addressed, including a re-built VANOS system and the subframe reinforced. The exterior's elegant Carbon black finish paired with the black leather interior is an attractive combination to be enjoyed by its next owner, whether it's conquering winding B-roads or motorway cruising. Fresh from a recent service and MOT while, as an added bonus, it meets the requirements of ULEZ and CAZ thus making it compliant with various environmental zones. The cherished registration plate (M30TRC) is included in the sale. The seller - this car's 8th - has a box full of receipts of work carried out during their ownership in excess of £30k. The owner is selling only because it has been surplus to requirements, as evidenced by the very low mileage accrued over the last few years. As always, the seller is available to answer all questions via the Comments section, below. Prospective buyers should bid with complete confidence.
