Feel free to PM offers and lets see where that takes us.

VIN: WBSBL934X5PN61025
Clean title, second owner(can provide you with free Carfax)
58K miles
Black mint interior
Manual tranny, gears are smooth as they can be, no grinds, clunks or any other issues
Clean title, second owner, bought the car in Nov 2009 with 44k miles from first owner.
I have put 15k miles on the car last two years, 7500 of those miles coming from two Mfest trips(Seattle to Cali to Las Vegas)

Mods:

Brembo 8 piston/380 Rotors fronts
Brembo 4Piston/345 rears
Volk CE28s(just purchased)

CF Wrapped Roof

Have all the stock parts that i will include with the car.

All mods painted and installed totaling to $25k

Here is the cool thing, i will provide you with the links to the shop that installed all of my mods
First up, isntall of Brembos: http://www.broadstrokeassociates.com/projects/view/11
Another link since my car is on the shop's site as a customer car: http://www.broadstrokeassociates.com/cars/view/1
Now, Broad Stroke Associates is one of the best BMW Service/Performance shops in Seattle area, many locals can confirm that. So worry free, all mods were done RIGHT and PROPERLY.

Well serviced, most recent: Service II done at 54K, oil changes done every 7500 miles.

Let me provide you with some history of the car and mods and what was done when.

Some pics(see below threads/links for more pics)

Interior, shots just taken 8/13/2011
Notice both fronts seats have no rips or tears or anything, like i said entire interior is in great shape:

Few pics of how the car was when i bought it, was all stock and MINT, to describe mint, interior was perfect and all 4 wheels didnt have a knick on them:

Just so you know that im not making any of this up, please follow my threads on other BMW forums:
http://forum.e46fanatics.com/newrepl...ply&p=11086798
http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=300230

As you all know, it sometimes takes forever to get the mods after you pay for them, so i waited to for the first phase of mods to come in so i can have them all installed in one day.

March 2010, see links below to see all the mods that were isntalled:

Notice that i had DPE wheels before, hence why Volks are brand new

Please, keep all your negative comments to yourself and comments such as "mods" dont add value. If they dont add value to ya then this car is not for you.

Looking for high 30s, shoot offers via PM please.

Thanks,
MD

Beautiful car!!

Darth335 · 07-29-2011, 08:41 AM

That is a Hot AW E46, I do not think that you would have trouble selling it. As we all know, you are better off parting it out, but I would not personally touch it....it looks perfect the way it rolls, a thing of beauty. Another good thing too is that you have low miles and have had service II done already, which is a big one. On top of that, it's a manual....which is a big plus over the SMG IMO, especially when a E46 has over 60K miles....don't have to worry about the SMG pump going out.

GLWS!!

1MOREMOD · 07-29-2011, 10:14 AM

Very nice would love to add a white e46 to my stable but just bought my x5. Love the car.

Nicest e46 on the forums....trying to unload one of my cars to pick up yours....I will be in touch if I get the funds together before you sell..

Johnny Lin · 08-12-2011, 02:30 AM

Dont sell it. I love your M3 bro.

GT1281 · 08-12-2011, 06:17 AM

What shape is the interior in? How's the drivers bolsters? Does it have Nav? What interior trim does it have? You might be better putting a couple shots off the interior up.

Mookster · 08-12-2011, 10:18 AM

Interior is in MINT condition. Black interior trim. I will work on some interior shots this weekend and post them along with editing the first post to provide additional info.

IMG · 08-12-2011, 11:46 AM

Thats hot !

DocNo · 08-12-2011, 01:52 PM

Wow. That's all I can say right now.

I can't PM now because I don't have 5 posts yet. So bear with me until I can.

Turbo>NA · 08-12-2011, 06:15 PM

All the stock parts included? And is this zcp?

indohan · 08-14-2011, 07:03 AM

If you can't sell it for at least $30k, keep it and F/I it

Good luck!

gthal · 08-14-2011, 07:13 AM

Gorgeous E46!!

Mookster · 08-14-2011, 11:43 PM

After many PMs regarding the price and pics of interior and more details in general. I have gone ahead and edited the first post. Answering all those questions, providing more details and entire history of the car.

If you have any other questions, just PM me please.

Thanks,
Mookie

downfall369 · 08-14-2011, 11:54 PM

Gorgeous...that's all I can say..Been refreshing this post a few times a day, hoping (selfishly) that it hasn't been sold. The new pictures and interior pictures only made me fall in love even more....I will definitely be in touch and am a very interested potential buyer.
