Renaissance Classics are thrilled to offer this attractive and desirable BMW E46 M3 coupe, with a manual gearbox. Finance and Extended Warranty available, please enquire for further details.
The ?E46? is the chassis designation for the fourth generation of BMW 3-series design. Launched in 1998; BMW were keen to improve on the already extremely popular model platform. The designers and engineers managed to come up with a more aerodynamic appearance that claimed to have a 70% increase on chassis rigidity. This, combined with the range of engines available and performance packs, meant that the E46 not only suited the enthusiast market but also appealed to the everyday driver as well, making it one of the most commercially successful BMW?s ever made.
What you see here is the flagship version of the popular 3series chassis ? the M3. Built by BMW?s in house motorsport department, the M3 was designed to give the driver a more focused and performance orientated driving experience. Powered by a high revving 3. 2 litre, drive-by-wire individual throttle bodied inline 6 (S54b32), producing an impressive 343bhp at just shy of 8, 000rpm and 269lbft of torque, the M3 had heaps of performance within a car that could be used every day. The M3 also benefited from a 6speed gearbox as standard, beefier bodywork, improved suspension, improved brakes and a limited slip differential to separate it from the rest of the BMW range. The M3?s potential, affordable price-tag and usability propelled the car to automotive superstardom making it the benchmark coupe that other manufactures aim to compete with. With original and unmolested examples of these cars being hard to come by, fastidiously maintained and well-presented cars like this one are steadily appreciating within the modern classic marketplace.
This particular car is no exception; finished in a stunning Carbon Black pearl paint with a beautiful and contrasting Imola Red leather interior, with less than 77k miles on the odometer, the all-important Manual 6speed gearbox and the favoured 19? Msport alloys ? this M3 would make a fantastic addition to any enthusiast or collectors garage. A summary of the vehicle?s specification has been listed below:
