Okay, the CS alloys and front respray takes it above normal value, but seriously? Hexagon levels of ambition here...

Marmite colour and quite rare....a lot of the first dealer demo's were Smurf Blue. Think it got discontinued quite early from memory. At least it doesn't have the Smurf Blue interior too which was just hideous. I saw a Phoenix Yellow car with the Smurf Blue interior eek

Car's got a really high spec and as you say the CS alloys. If you want that colour desperately maybe it's the car for you....

Bloke who owns that is on here, ACS or something.

Its the same guy who had the 20k E36 AC Schnitzer for sale a while ago. Don't think it sold, if that's the one in the background.

Different colour I like it, alot and wasthe colour and spec I was looking for when I bought mine.

That is a little overpriced in this market for them, although he does have a history or asking too much, eg a 20k bodykitted E36............. Sorry ACS I just don't get it. winksmile

I used to hate Laguna Seca Blue but actually now I think it looks rather nice. Maybe because I could only see two original looking E46 M3s at the M3 Cutters stand in Gaydon. One of which was a stunning LSB Convertible Manual with 18 inch alloys :-)

How do arrive at that conclusion?

Full print out of MoT history and just one owner until April this year - so all provable. The original owner who ordered and ran the car got cancer and when he became too ill the car was virtually laid up for some 5 years, only being run on a regular basis to keep it in decent order - approx 1,000 miles a year.
These cars do exist, strange as you may find that hard to believe. I'll let you know when its for sale then?

If this is the car I think it is, it was at nearly every car show in NI for a while. Had carbon goodies and ICE bits back then.

If I was buying - I would say its over priced.

But heck, its a free ad and you can affort to speculate.

I really like the colour - better than boring carbon black (yep, mines carbon black)

Milage .. well I think nearer 8k woulkd be more realistic if he really wanted to sell it.

I suppose we all try to be ambitious!

CAP clean for a 52 plate 03 with 83k is £5800! Private sale slightly more. Maybe not in that colour though!

Sold my 07 total spec silver grey black leather 34k miles last of the e46 smg cab mint all original last September for ONLY £15250. Should have asked £22995!? DAM!

Lovely to look at in the flesh if you ever go past the showroom though wink

Has all the original running in stickers in the window, etc...

I'm sure it looks stunning, but it can't be worth more than £25k of any sane man's money? Plus I'd want new tyres too as the originals have probably gone a bit hard!

I know BMW dealers are bound to charge more for cars but have a look at their used car list....a bunch of £20k+ E46 M3's pop up. Can they really command this kind of cash, even for low mile examples [I'm not talking CSL]?
