2005 BMW M3 e46
153,000 miles
6 Speed Manual
Big 3 done
Rare ZCP Competition Package which includes the following factory improvements over a standard M3:
– 19″ wheels
– Quicker ratio steering rack
– Larger, 2-piece brakes
– M Track Mode
– Alcantara steering wheel, ebrake handle

The e46 M3 has been a dream car of mine since they were released, the timing finally worked out and I was able to experience this car for the last 2 years. Ownership has absolutely lived up to the hype. The drive is very special, and offers a recipe of engagement that is no longer offered in new cars. The chassis is tight and responsive, grip in the corners is impressive, and the pull and sound from the s54 is addictive.

Selling because of a growing family, and a sedan would our life better.

Exterior:
Silver Gray Metallic
Paint overall is in good condition, no swirls, major scratches, or dents. However, there are stone chips. Front bumper has a 2-3″ area where the clearcoat has peeled. There were much more aggressive wheels fitted to the car at some point in its life which resulted in rubbing, the inside wheel arches were touched up. In my opinion the car shows better than the mileage would suggest.
There is no rust, and this car has not been driven in the winter.
Side and rear windows are tinted
Carbon Fiber front Lip
Angel Eyes
OEM ZCP wheels powder coated black

Manual seats (lighter weight)
No nav, my opinion again, the better option

C pillar fabric is loose, and the headliner has just started to fall over the rear seats
