Garage Kept Motors is excited to offer this solid example of the
increasingly sought-after E46-era BMW M3. This is a clean southern
car finished in an attractive factory color scheme and boasting a
few sensible and subtle modifications. This BMW is finished in
Silver Grey Metallic and features Shadowline trim. The paint
presents as well maintained and shines with a rich luster. The
Germans understand how to mesh function with fashion as this coupe
looks sporty and is equipped with xenon headlights with halos, fog
lights, a glass power sunroof, rain-sensing windshield wipers, LED
tail lights, Park Distance Control, a trunk lid spoiler, and quad
exhaust outlets. The cabin is upholstered in black and features
Nappa leather rear seating surfaces, with Titan Shadow trim,
automatic climate control, and cruise control. The front seats have
been upgraded with custom Recaro Pole Positions seats covered in
black leather with M Texture centers and the seats are mounted on
Bimmerworld billet aluminum floor mounts with Recaro sliders and
side mounts. New kidneys and center console were installed to
remove the center arm rest. The carpet has been well cared for and
the interior overall shows little wear and is very clean and well
detailed. The underbody on this E46 is clean with no indications of
rust or collision repair. The suspension and brakes are well
maintained and have had some subtle modifications the greatly
improve the driving experience of this sports coupe. The braking
system has been upgraded with the StopTech Trophy brake kit with
nickel plated calipers with 6 piston front calipers and 4 pistons
on the rear. Up front OEM Lemforder front control arms are paired
with Bimmerworld front trackCAB control arm mounts. Out back the
rear suspension features Bimmerworld race rear lower control arms,
Powerflex black differential bushings and Bimmerworld rear trailing
arm bearings. Ohlins Road and Track Dedicated struts and shock
system along with Vorshlag camber plates tighten road feel and
control and Bimmerworld aluminum subframe mounts further tighten
the body and any flex. This combination meets the road rolling on
Apex ARC-8 18x9.5 ET35 Anthracite Concave wheels with 265/35-18
RE71 tires utilizing Bimmerworld 5mm and 12mm spacers and mounted
with Bimmerworld 82mm race premium wheel studs. Under the hood sits
a high revving 3.2-liter S54 inline-six. Power is sent to the rear
wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip
differential. Improvements within the last 100 miles include a BMC
performance air filter and the VANOS system has been rebuildt using
Beisan and Dr. VANOS parts. The cooling system has been treated to
new silicone coolant hose kit, water pump and the stock radiator
has been replaced with a Bimmerworld/CSF high efficiency radiator
and oil cooler and a Moroso aluminum coolant expansion tank. The
engine rod bearings were also replaced within the last 100 miles
ago. Engine mounts were replaced with Bimmerworld performance
engine mounts and Rogue Engineering transmission mounts were also
installed. Presented in smart overall condition and with a solid
service history which includes some of the more common E46 M3
foibles attended to, this car needs for nothing other than to be
driven, where it would make a riotous daily driver or an ideal
weekend car for tackling any challenging two lane road. Please call
