For sale is my BMW E46 M3.I looked for a long time to find manual car with good history and minimal previous owners before found this one, the car runs and drives flawlessly but the body work does let the car down. had every intention in having the car painted because mechanically it's in such good condition, however what with one thing or another I've just never got around to getting this done. Bad points (every car has them and like to be honest and upfront in listings):O/S front wing has started to corrode and needs replacing before painting.Both front lower sills have slight corrosion as seen in pics, however this should still be covered under BMW corrosion warrantyThe car has definitley done more motorway miles than anything else, hence the peppered front end from stone chips Wing mirror glasses have faded, this is typical e46 traitThe car was stolen from the previous owner on test drive with keys, it was returned only matter of days later due to tracker being fitted, however they had already tampered with the front strut chassis number which no longer exists. Although, they actually didn't do bad job of this and you can hardly tell, all other numbers in place so no problems with MOTs etc. It's unrecorded as the owner got the car back so quickly so didn't go through insurance and have hpi check to prove this.Good pointsAll wheels were freshly refurbished with new tyres when purchased the carIt has all new front brakesI've had it serviced every year regardless of millage and all genuine parts used from bmwMechanically it really is brilliant, no vanos problems, no knocks from the subframe all checked and absolutely fine.Interior is immaculate.Lots of history stamps and receiptsTracker fittedLow mileage for the ageOriginal sets of keysHigh spec car, sat navmillage 102000Rare manual gearbox modelIt is incredible to drive, my favourite car have ownedThis car really would be stunning power horse once painted as the paint is the only thing that lets it down in my opinion. Reason for selling is that genuinely don't have the time to use it, have only covered 5000 miles in years, and it just seems such shame to not see this car being used. am not prepared to give this car away, so please do not approach with silly offers. do not want any swaps either as do not need another car to sit on my driveway.Any questions please message me through here or my mobile is 07773355434ThanksMike
