2004 BMW M3

URGENT SALE REQUIRED BEFORE NEXT WEEKEND

I am leaving the UK for 6 months next weekend. I have priced this car aggressively for a straightforward, hassle-free sale before I depart. If it does not sell for a sensible figure by Friday, I am entirely comfortable keeping it securely stored until I return in April. I am open to close, sensible offers for a swift transition.

Overview & Ownership

I have owned this stunning, highly original M3 Coupe since 2019. Throughout my ownership, it has been maintained with an open checkbook, backed by an extensive folder of receipts. I have spent roughly £10,000 keeping this car in optimal mechanical health, addressing major maintenance items to ensure total reliability. Unlike many modified or tracked examples, this is a clean, honest, unmolested car that has just come back from a major service at the main dealer. I have uploaded photos of major receipts but I have a lot more.

Factory Specification Includes: Heated front seats, rear parking sensors, cruise control, auto headlights, and electric folding mirrors.

SMG Pump Replaced (79,190 miles by RL Motor Services) – Total peace of mind.

Honest Condition Details

Mechanically, this car needs absolutely nothing and drives beautifully. Cosmetically, it is in fair, honest condition for its age, leaving room for the next owner to add visual value over time:

Exterior: The front bumper would benefit from a respray due to standard road stone chips. There is also a small amount of typical aluminum corrosion bubbling developing on the wing mirror bases.

Interior:

The black leather interior is complete and intact, though there is some light cracking typical of age on the driver's side seat bolsters.

Terms of Sale

Priced accurately at £14,500 to reflect the cosmetic points and its original state, while acknowledging the massive mechanical investments already made. Fully stamped service book present, heavily backed up by an extensive folder of physical receipts, and two keys. Contact me today to arrange a viewing in Plymouth.
