Presented in Grey with a complementing Black leather interior, this E46 iteration of the 3 Series is offered in desirable M3 form. First registered on 1st September 2002, it features the SMG transmission, with power delivered through the 6-speed manual operated SMG gearbox. Specified for all weather conditions, this example is the convertible model and comes complete with the genuine BMW hardtop and accompanying stand. As expected of the M3, it was well appointed from new, featuring air conditioning, ABS and Harman / Kardon speakers.
We are grateful to the vendor for the following comments on condition:
“The M3 is in great order, with the bodywork very bright and level, nothing nasty to report. Zero rust in the rear arches or subframe, it does have minor micro-blisters on the boot lid. Mechanically, it feels very tight and has been well looked after. It drives great, starts first turn of the key, idles well, pulls hard through the gears, gear change is good from the SMG gearbox, and everything mechanically is working correctly, including the convertible soft top.”
The M3 has benefitted from conscientious maintenance, including replacement rod bearings and bolts, SMG software reprogramming, attention to both front airbags, a full suspension overhaul, and an SMG clutch and pump replacement, among other works.
