Default Silver E46 M3 (Price Drop)

After only 5 odd months of M3 ownership I have decided to put it up for sale. I got it off a member of the M3cutters website who loved the car to bits and looked after it really well, ive just continued to do that aswell and since ownership all ive done is replace a number plate light bulb and upped the milage. Also i am not interested in selling any of the parts seperately.

Heres the spec:

* 2002 M3 Coupe in Silver with immaculate imola red interior

* TV / Sat Nav with the latest software courtesy of ccfj1

* Electric Heated Seats

* Manual

* Harmon Kardon

* 58,000 Miles With Full Service history all BMW except the last Inspection 2 which was done by CA - I have 20 emails printed out by the previous owner stating what was going on with the car while CA had it. It had a oil service just before i got her and the next inspection isnt due for another 9k yet.

* Excellent condition - Like i said ive kept it in the same condition as the previous owner, always washed it once a week. It does have the usual stone chips which is to be expected with an 9 year old car.

* The interior is pristine with the leather always being conditioned with Gliptone - Nice matt/new finish.

* Full Piano black interior which compliments the imola

* OEM LED Rear Lights

* Shadow Chrome CSL Rep wheels with Contisport 235/265 tyres.

* Eibach Springs and 10 mm spacers all round - Full KDS done

* Powerflex Bushes

* CDV removed to smoother gear changes

* Rogue Rear Shock mounts

* PF pads / New OEM discs fitted only a few months ago all round with Castrol SLR brake fluid - braided lines at a cost of £1000.

* Carbon front grills / black side grills / carbon badges

* Remap

* CSL Steering Wheel

* Depo front / side indicators

* Black out M3 badge from EAS in the states

* Eurosport Exhaust tips recently fitted

* K&N Panel Filter Fitted.


The previous owner did a full trace of every time the car has visited a BMW dealer and found out dates / where it was and why it was there.

All recalls were done. I have all this information along with a stack of reciepts for all the services, parts etc i have done on the car.

He also had the subframe checked and there are no issues at all.

History:

Pre Delivery Check - 13/05/2002 - Hexagon BMW
Running In Check - 15/04/2003 - Park West BMW - 1292
Oil Service - 23/02/2004 - Specialist Cars Luton - 12299
Inspection 1 - 29/03/2006 - North Oxford BMW - 24194
Oil Service - 06/09/2008 - North Oxford BMW - 36406
Inspection 2 - 13/01/2010 - CA Automotive - 45014


Brake Fluid - 26/06/2004 - 16655
Brake Fluid - 29/03/ 2008 - 24194
Brake Fluid - 02/02/2010 - 45000 Uprated SLR by an Indy

Coolant - 29/03/2006 - 24194
Coolant - 13/01/2010 - 45014


Only ever run on Vpower

The car is fitted with a tracker.

There are no issues i know of with the car - It is a fantastic car which i will be gutted to see go but im moving out in afew months and need a deposit for a house

Probably more that iv forgotten but there is lots of info and pics here from when the previous owner owned the car:

http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=14007

I am wanting £12,200 o.n.o Please dont make any comments about the price - I think its worth that and i know its a tough market but if i dont get wot i want for it then i will keep it lol.

May p/x with a Focus RS, Cossie, Series one

PM me for further details

Thanks for looking!

Looks lovely mate.


Stand by your price as long as you can, i value mine not far from it, same spec a little more miles but i would hold strong.


People see these cars for 8 and 9k thinking oh thats a good deal so the ones at 12 or 13k are expensive, the fact of the matter is they're that price for a good reason.

Best of luck mate, im sure you will live to regret it tho

lol ive had a couple of people say its worth 8-9k coz its a 02 plate but theres no chance i would let it go for that money and if it dont sell then i will just keep it which aint a bad thing as its a great car!

Well ive spent (with getting the car) around 17k mate ,new engine etc . Put the wheels and tyres on last summer that have done about 60 miles ,they cost me just over 1k so some would say it is a 12k 3 door, prices just seem all over the place.


A dealer on pistonheads in kent has offered me 9k cash without even seeing it .

Standard bhp is around 338 or 343bhp i think but with the remap it has ive been told more 350bhp

Its totally different power delivery than the 3dr m8 with it being none turbo and all that plus you get no lag at all and you get the comfort

I had a little play with a E46 M3 when i had my 3dr which was 353bhp and left it for dead lol
