Enthusiast-owned factory 6-speed manual E46 M3. Family-owned since 2008 — my dad bought it certified pre-owned with warranty and gifted it to me, so it’s basically a two-owner, one-family car cared for its whole life. Only driven ~2k miles/year now.

What’s been done:

Rod bearings replaced
Valves adjusted
Clutch replaced (~2x, not original, feels great)
Suspension refreshed
Cooling system work incl. new viscous fan clutch
Rear subframe inspected under BMW’s program: no cracks
Full service records included going back to 2008.

Also worth knowing: zero oil consumption, VANOS quiet/no rattle (not rebuilt, but healthy), rust-free SoCal car, never tracked, AC blows cold, no warning lights, current registration + recent smog pass, and it comes with both keys and the owner’s books. Flashlight and complete toolkit present.

Comes with TWO sets of factory wheels: it’s wearing the expensive genuine BMW CSL wheels (Style 163), and the original M3 wheels are included in the sale. Only other change is a hidden, fully-functional Bluetooth upgrade that’s invisible and reversible. Otherwise completely STOCK.

Mechanically sound and ready to drive anywhere; I’d take it on a 500-mile road trip tomorrow.

Straight talk: the interior is tired; the driver’s seat and leather show their age. The head liner is sagging. This is a great-driving, honest car or a perfect starting point for a track build, not a garage queen. Priced accordingly.

Carfax disclosure: shows one minor incident that I was in the car for! I got rear-ended in a low-speed fender bender. No structural/frame damage, no airbags, rear bumper replaced.
