BMW E46 M3 2004 Manual Rod Bearings & Boot Floor Done

For sale is my beautiful Carbon Black manual E46 M3, a car I said I would never sell. But over 5 years later and two children, it's time to say good bye. It unfortunately doesn't get used very often, so time to pass to someone who can enjoy it more than me.

Rod Bearings replaced March 2025 by Redish Motorsport, engine mounts replaced at the same time. Cost £1783

Redish Motorsport boot floor reinforcement plates fitted, so no worries about cracking floor.

AP Racing brakes fitted on the front. These were fitted bout 750 miles ago, purely for aesthetic reasons. As, the standard brakes look quite small and these look absolutely stunning behind the wheels. These brakes cost £2850 in late 2023. I will include in the sale the original brake calipers. The brakes are 6 pot calipers with 365mm discs.

The M3 sits on KW coilover suspension, this was fitted when I bought it, as the original suspension was tired. These are fully adjustable, so they can sit at standard height and be softer or harder.

Braided brake lines fitted front and rear.

When doing the rear boot floor work. I had the rear subframe, anti-roll bars and lower rear suspension arms powder coated. All bushes were replaced at the same time.

This car drives beautifully and gets so much attention as it looks stunning.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres front and rear, front tyres about 600 miles old.

Alcatara steering wheel.

As with most 20+ year old cars there are a couple things to note. The front bumper has some stone chips and there is a sensor gone on the passenger door, so the car thinks the door is open when closed, shows door open on the dash.
