Up for sale is my very rare 2004 BMW E46 M3 finished in Imola Red over the highly desirable red leather interior. This car has the factory 6-speed manual transmission and only 77,000 original miles.

The car is in exceptional condition for its age and has been extremely well cared for. It has a clean Carfax, no accident history, and is ready for its next enthusiast owner. It will likely be headed to Bring a Trailer, but I wanted to offer it to the enthusiast community first.

Highlights:
● 77,000 original miles
● Imola Red exterior
● Rare red leather interior
● Sunroof
● Factory 6-speed manual transmission
● Clean Carfax
● No accidents
● Professionally inspected subframe
● VANOS serviced
● Rod bearings have not been replaced (unknown), but the engine runs beautifully and the oil has consistently looked clean at every service.

As many E46 enthusiasts know, 2004+ M3s benefited from several factory updates and generally experienced fewer issues related to the well-known “Big 3” (rod bearings, VANOS, and subframe) compared to earlier production cars. While no E46 is immune to maintenance needs, this example has been exceptionally well maintained.

Modifications:
● Koni lowering springs
● Apex wheels
● K&N cold air intake
● CSL-style trunk
● 70% Super Ceramic window tint

The car is otherwise factory, and the original OEM trunk is included with the sale.
Finding an unmodified, clean-history, low-mileage, slicktop/manual Imola Red example is becoming increasingly difficult. This is one of those modern classics that continues to gain recognition among collectors, and special-spec cars like this have every reason to remain highly desirable as values mature.

Asking $43,500.
