History & condition

Registered 29 April 2008 and originally supplied as a BMW demonstrator.

Only five owners from new, with one previous owner keeping the car for approximately 15 years.

The car is in excellent condition for its age and mileage and has clearly been looked after. The Silverstone II paintwork presents beautifully and the new 359-style wheels and PS4S tyres have really transformed its appearance.

It comes with two keys, extensive service history/invoices and the wind deflector.

This isn't being presented as a low-mileage garage queen – it's a properly maintained M3 that has been used, cared for and had the expensive jobs dealt with.

Reason for sale

I've only owned the M3 for around four months and had every intention of keeping it, hence spending money on the KW HAS suspension, new wheels and Michelin PS4S tyres.

However, I've since found the 996-generation Porsche 911 I've always wanted, so I've decided to make the change.

The short ownership is therefore simply down to an unexpected opportunity to buy my dream car rather than anything to do with the M3.

Located in Edinburgh.

Genuine enquiries welcome. I'm happy to talk through the history and maintenance in detail with any serious buyer.
