2005 BMW M3

BMW E46 M3 Convertible (2005, SMG) – 70,000 miles, Full Service History, 7 months MOT

Presented in stunning Carbon Black with black leather interior and 19" diamond-cut alloys (professionally refurbished, unmarked). A truly cherished example that’s been garaged, maintained, and driven with care.

I purchased this M3 in 2021 after a long search for a well-loved, genuine car and have spent the past four years restoring, refreshing, and subtly upgrading it. Always warmed up properly, detailed regularly, and never driven hard from cold.
