FS/WTT (MA): Meticulous AW E46 M3 VCSL + cash for AW E92 M3 DCT
SOLD!!!!!!!!!  For Sale Ad in web view: http://csldawe46m3.weebly.com/ Below is my farewell to my amazing E46 M3 that has brought much joy and fun to my life over the last couple of years. Since the MY2000 launch of the M3, I dreamed about owning this car. I lusted over it and finally was able to purchase one after graduation. I built this car as a one-of-a-kind machine, with extreme thought put into each modification, maintenance, and street driving manners. I’ve put a lot of hours, studying and testing - not to mention blood, sweat, and tears - into this car to get it to this point. Whoever owns this car next will be very happy with it, and enjoy it more then I can. Summary: Before you get into the details - It is THE turnkey perfect E46 M3. The modifications were extremely well thought-out and tested to bring out the true character of how an M3 was designed, while not defeating the BMW’s purpose of the luxury/performance/daily driveable nature This is how I balanced modifications that did not come with a downside of being too loud, too stiff, or track only, or have problems with emission compliance. Not only am I a car enthusiast, owning every previous year M3 prior, but I detail vehicles professionally, along with DME/ECU professional tuning, I think I’m slightly (undiagnosed) OCD, and the car benefits from it. I believe you will not find an M3 cleaner than this one for the year. You must see it to believe it. Reason for sale: Simple – 2008-9 E92 M3. New lifestyle possibly leans towards automatic (DCT) due to city traffic, as does an injury of mine and different priorities - so it has been garaged more frequently. It is time to pass it on to someone who will enjoy it as much as I once had the time to do, and drive it the way it was intended - I kept it as only a garage queen. The car is fully paid for. I am not in a financial position where i need to sell it – clean title in hand. It is garaged and not taking up space. I’ve had every generation of M3, so this makes sense to move and start building the new platform. Why is it special and demand over book value? It’s in near showroom condition. It is enjoyed but barely driven, and never abused. Thanks to the beautiful full detail job and nearly obsessive upkeep, you won’t see the few nicks from road debris on the lower front air dam, or the dimples and scratches from inconsiderate people. It has been meticulously cared for, serviced and has never once seen a car wash. (It is one of my few instances of physical exertion to hand wash it every weekend.) As I have a company vehicle, it rarely sat under the sun – always garaged when it was not on the road. It is smogged and registered until December of 2011.        Readers: Please do not clutter the thread with comments on price, modifications, photog-ing, part outs etc. This thread is for discussion and question/answer between a serious buyer and a serious seller, please respect it.

At best, with your top-tier credit score, you should be able to get up to 125% financing on the Blue Book Retail value of the STOCK car plus its corresponding tax, which for this particular vehicle with all the options factored in is around 22,000. You will not be able to 100% finance this outright through a bank as an auto-only loan. Serious Inquiries only: No tire kickers or lowballers, or low ball PMs, these replies or emails will be ignored. This is not a car for someone who wants a cheap KBB E46 M3. Car is flawless, with EXTREME attention to detail and cleanliness. Any and all worn item was replaced with OEM and car looks almost as good as Showroom NEW. This is the car for someone who wants a perfect sorted like-new E46 M3 with some of the best modifications on the market with all the weaknesses/trouble areas of the E46 M3 eliminated. FAQ - PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE CONTACTING ME VIA EMAIL. I have tried to anticipate the most important issues that might come up. 1. Please obtain your own financing if necessary. I will not carry any loans, nor accept credit cards. 2. Out of state buyers must set up their own shipping arrangements. www.uship.com works great. 3. I have a Carfax report, and I will email it to you at your request. 4. I will not entertain any swapping out of parts or parting out parts. The car will be sold as is in one piece. 5. I understand this car appeals to a specific demographic and person with liquid finances. 6. I reserve the right to refuse a test drive. Test drives will be accompanied by the seller. 7. Car will be shown by appointment only in Central MA location. I will not drive out of my way to show it. 8. A $500 Deposit will hold the car for 5 days, after that it is non-refundable. This window is necessary as deposits in past have turned from I need 3 days to I need 3 months to come up with the cash. This epidemic essentially pushes out potential buyers. The rest of the money needs to be wired via ACH, cashier’s check, or cash. 9. Please, no joy riders or daydreamers. SERIOUS buyers only. Pre-approved/cash customers. As mentioned above you may not be able to finance this outright through a bank as an auto only loan due to value so make proper arrangements prior. I want to give my undivided attention to the proper buyer and their questions and do not want to waste time on craiglist style question/offers and demands to non-serious buyers. Interior/Engine/Trunk pictures and video will come when the roads clear up. Price: $28,000 firm Email: Bgriffin02@gmail.com for inquiries. Don't hesitate this is one of the nicest E46 M3's around. No Trades: Unless it’s an AW E92 M3 + cash on my part. Perfect car for E92 owner trying to get out of payments and put it towards an E46 M3 or building a VF/HPF monster - this M3 has everything ready for boost.

If I was ever the in market to purchase a pre-owned vehicle, you are the type of seller I would purchase from. Judging from all the details and with past cars, you definitely have the enthusiast connection with your cars. Best of luck bro and hopefully whoever the new owner is will take care of this car as well as you did.
