2003 BMW E46 M3 3.2 Manual. Silver Grey metallic with Black Nappa leather, black mohair hood and factory hard top. The BMW M3 E46 Coupé took the hearts of real sports car fans by storm when it launched in 2000. With a low weight construction and the high-rev concept of its inline 6-cylinder engine, for many it embodied a return to the virtues of the iconic BMW M3 E30. The following year, a convertible followed, combining a sporty experience and the luxury of open-top driving in an unprecedented way. M3 enthusiasts associate three characteristics with the E46 factory code: pure driving pleasure, beguiling sound and a legendary special model. This BMW has been with its last keeper for 3 years and during his tenure has enjoyed the car immensely even taking it on European driving tours. The car has covered 120,000 miles from new which is low considering it’s now almost 20 years old. It comes with a comprehensive history portfolio containing a large amount of bills, invoices and old mot certificates dating back many years as well as the original dealer wallet with all manuals and handbooks and the BMW service book fully stamped. Lots of money has been spent on the upkeep including in 2018 the Vanos unit rebuilt, upgraded Vanos hub, valve stem seals and upper timing chain guides, and in 2021 a new power steering rack, and most recently in April 2022 a new power steering pump, new Lower arm and bushes and a fresh mot with the invoice on file for £1181.81. This is a 2003 facelift model with LED rear lights, and the car was supplied new with the optional 19” alloy wheels, factory hardtop and BMW professional navigation. Presenting very well and still a great looking car and the E46 M3 is now becoming very collectable. The metallic paintwork and leather upholstery still in great order, the electric black mohair soft top working correctly with the hardtop completing the look. On the road the M3 can still impress. Outstanding performance is provided by the typical BMW M Series 6-cylinder engine. The 3.2-litre S54B32 engine built on the legacy of its predecessor. Nevertheless, it was an almost entirely new development. It is regarded as the pioneer of BMW’s now well-established high-rev concept, where its only time for the next gear at just under 8,000 revolutions. Absolutely any inspection welcome.
