Anyone thinking of selling their E46 M3?

[Mahogany]

In the next few months?

Looking for a facelift / 2003 onwards with Harmon Kardon and heated seats. Open to manual or SMG. Ideally less than 60k miles with FSH.

I'd rather buy from an enthusiast on here than a random garage.

[EVOeng]

Whats your budget...have a look at my profile to check the spec.

[Mahogany]

Under 16k really. Thanks anyway.

I'm selling my 2005, every option except folding mirrors, will be under 16k, mileage 90k.

Looking for a facelift

is the facelift e46 m3 just different rear lights? i know the front end is all the same.

Coupe.

Just put a deposit on a dealer approved used one with 44k miles, manual on 18" which was what I wanted though had to compromise slightly with a grey interior rather than black or red which I would have preferred and a 2003 pre-led rear light facelift. £15995 including tracker subscription, inspection 2 before I pick up and 12 months tax plus the approved used 1 year warranty and MOT insurance. Good cars are out there if you wait long enough, watch the expected soon section of the approved used site and get in quickly as the good ones don’t stay up long. 3 hour drive to collect mine next week hopefully

No, the facelift isn't just the rear lights.
Equipment fitted to facelift model; Bi-Xenon Headlamps, LED Rear Lights, ‘M’ Strut Brace; Front, Satellite Navigation Control Unit upgraded to DVD including TMC, TV Module upgraded to Digital, AUX Connection to DVD Unit, 3 Point Rear Seatbelt and Headrest.

Not correct there mate.
Bi-xenons came out before the facelift although I can't remember when, late 2001 or early 2002. LED rear lights came in 2003 and were part of the facelift. M strut brace came out in 2002, April if memory serves. DVD navigation unit again came out in 2002 in September. Don't think the digital tv came out until 2004 (although I stand to be corrected) so not all facelift models would have it. The facelift also has a different boot handle.

i was going to say his does have xenons, and the other bits are to do with car audio and rear seatbelts? not much of a facelift.

[RockyRoad]

Longer boot handle and LED rears are the changes that stand out.

I've got a black coupe, 2003, SMG, 56k miles.
dvd Sat nav
19's
TV/DVD in motion
Folding mirrors
Telephone
Heated powered black nappa seats
Rear blind
LED rears
Harmon Kardon
FSH
Auto lights/wipers
etc etc

I think everything except sunroof and bluetooth.

Missus keeps pestering me to sell, but just not got round to it . Would love to see an enthusiast take it. 14k looks about the right money.

RockyRoad could you PM/email me some photos please. Or just message me anyway if you don't have any. Cheers.

[Booyakajon]

Much like Rockyroad, my missus keeps pestering me to sell mine.

I have a 2004 (facelift) E46 M3 coupe in titanium silver with black nappa leather electric memory seats, manual, under BMW warranty until June 2010, FBMWSH, 62K miles, 6k miles 'til next service. I have had the car since May 2007 and have had no problems whatsoever.

It has pretty much all the options including DVD satnav, 6cd changer, TV & Bluetooth, electric rear blind, electric folding mirrors. I have the 19 inch alloys but the car is currently on 18s - would include both.
It doesn't have Harmon Kardon or sunroof.

I have plenty of photos, would pm you but can't find your email address.

Cheers

Hi Mahogany.

I am not sure as to whether i want to sell mine or not. I am 50/50 and dont know what to do.

It is a 2004 on a 53 plate.
It is silver grey. (best colour);)
Black leather.
49800 miles.
Bought from Trevor Jones car co.
I live in Southampton so my local indy is Brystone BMW.
The guys there looked it over and said it is a spot on example.
Rear trailing arm bushes fine.
I have just put new BMW discs and pads on the back.
And i have just forked out a fortune on an AP Racing big brake kit for the front.
I may take this off to sell private and put the originals back on which were like new anyway.
The car is immaculate and only comes out on dry days as it is my pride and joy.
I may let it go at the right price.
Let me know anyway.

Regards.
Ben.

[4340BB]

This offer stands for anyone now as i have decided to sell the car definately.
I will be placing an ad on PH classifieds in the next day or so.

Regards.

Ben.

I would get the rear subframe mounts properly inspected before buying any car. You will be surprised by how many are turning up with torn mounts these days.

[4340BB]

As previously stated i had Brystone BMW do a full inspection on the car and it is spot on.
