________________________________________
Launched in the early 2000s, the M3 E46 is widely regarded as the golden age of the BMW Motorsport department. It combines muscular and timeless styling with a perfectly balanced chassis. This example is one of the last from production.
Our 2005 M3 E46 SMG offers a fine, understated yet sporty configuration, with its Silbergrau Metallic (F2AT) finish and black leather Alcantara interior featuring /// M-badged headrests.
Several modifications have been made: an EVOX exhaust silencer, Bilstein dampers of original specification (with original springs), 19-inch EVO alloy wheels, black grilles and wing surrounds, plus a Bluetooth stereo system for everyday practicality.
