Auction: 2005 BMW M3 E46
Discussion
Simon bought this car from me in 2020.
It's a lovely example and I conducted all the suspension / undercarriage work during COVID in 2020. All components were good, but I wanted to achieve a condition underneath that mirrored the exterior and interior.
The underneath was completely disassembled, cleaned up and anything that cleaning didn't provide the desired result was ordered from Sytner Leicester. At the time the car was completely free from corrosion on the underbody and no signs of subframe issues.
I was being very picky with the diff given I had given so much time and work to the car, there was a very slight 'knock' when the clutch engaged at low speeds and it wound me up. The diff rebuild cured that.
In hindsight I should've kept hold of this car, but I had the chance to buy something else at the time and couldn't keep it.
Good luck to bidders and the potential new owner.
