Description
A model which appears destined to fall into the category of “I wish I’d bought one 10 years ago” as their following and collectable status seems firm. Of course, “the right one to have” is important, and judging by experience with classic cars, the relatively modest premium required to secure the best example with the most promising future usually represents the wisest part of the overall investment. This M3 has all the right ingredients being an E46, six speed manual, 2 door Coupe. So here we have this genuine, utterly unmolested example which has come from a local, long-term owner who bought it brand new, so ‘no former keepers’ on the V5. The vehicle has covered 52, 000 miles since new. It has a voluminous file from pre-purchase correspondence with William Jacks BMW, Cobham to the latest services, and it all testifies to caring ownership. Delivered, as BMW’s order states in Carbon Black with Kiwi Leather and £4, 000 worth of desirable extras including (but not limited to) electric sunroof, electric mirror-fold, grad-tint screen, front arm rest, heated seats, Haran Kardon sound, aluminum shadow interior and M spoke 67M 8/ 9. 5J. In terms of condition, the owner was fastidious over originality, thus providing the best incentive for him to preserve this cherished M3 correctly over time. In May 2024, the car was taken to Redish Motorsport who are known for carrying out precautionary under-body checks, and indeed it passed muster on their RACP underside report with internal borescope and their mechanical and cosmetic assessment revealed no items ‘in the red’ whatsoever. They are famously known in BMW circles for their expertise in “high-end professional procedures for BMW ‘M’ power. The car has covered sub-300 miles since their investigations and has had no showroom tinkering or cosmetic tidy-ups whatsoever. It is being sold by us on behalf of the family.
