Description
This is my 2003 Carbon Black BMW M3. I purchased this car in April 2023. I am not 100% committed to selling but for the right price I would be willing to part ways.
Top spec shown by the full button cluster in the centre console. This includes the rare rear blind option.
Ridiculously thick and meticulous folder of history showing all work done and servicing over the years.
Previous owner maintained the vehicle at Redish Motorsport and carried out a replacement of the rod bearings using ACL bearings, as well as a valve clearance adjustment as per inspection 1 service. This was done at 111, 358mls. The previous owner noted that Redish did assess the Vanos and believed it to be in good enough condition not to need a rebuild (which you can tell by how smooth the car idles).
The subframe was also reinforced by another previous owner at Redish Motorsport using their RACP plates in September 2015.
The vehicle is subtly modified including CSL style wheels with spacers, a carbon Eventuri intake (£1000ish), a Supersprint lightweight race back box (£2000ish), BC racing coilovers (£1000ish), Eibach rear camber arms (£270ish), H&R front and rear roll bars (£450ish). Obviously I know modifications don't recoup their full value, but I do think these modifications do add at least a little value compared to stock. I have also fitted a Bluetooth connection which replaces the CD changer (This can easily be reverted back to stock if you wish as the CD changer is still in place).
Body work is in good condition for it's age and as you can see from the pictures all arches are free from any rust or bubbling.
The front bumper has since been fully repainted as it was heavily stone chipped (as can be seen on the pictures).
I have also recently spent £1, 400 on a new coolant tank, viscous coupling and auxiliary fan.
