The E46-generation M3 occupies a special place in the performance car landscape. Its high-revving, naturally aspirated S54 inline-six, hydraulic steering, and near-perfect weight distribution deliver an analogue driving experience that has only grown in desirability as the industry has moved towards turbocharging and electronic assistance. Examples equipped with the six-speed manual gearbox, as here, are particularly prized by enthusiasts.

This car is finished in Topaz Blue Metallic with a grey leather interior and black dash top. The 19-inch Style 163M alloy wheels fill the signature flared arches well, and a K&N fuel injection performance kit has been fitted.
