After buying a car that is friendlier for a larger family (4 door), I need to sell my beloved e46 M3. I have put in probably $40-$50k in mods and maintenance into the car and it is running amazing!
I will try to list all the large ticket items I've done but I'm sure I'll forget some. Please ask if there are any questions and/or if you are interested in buying the car. The car runs and drives great! I’ve made several long-distance trips (>6 hours) with this car and never was concerned about its reliability. The Supercharger is very nice to drive as the power is very linear and pulls the entire powerband, no surprise jump in power like the Turbo kits. The VF kit also makes driving in hot weather better considering it is water-cooled. The car is garage kept and almost exclusively driven in the summer months. Oil changes were done every 3k miles with Castrol TWS 0w-60 and BMW oil filters. I've not driven the car much in the past 2 years because of the new additions to the family but I do need to sell the car.
Price: Asking 18.5k OBO. (Reduced from 21k)
History:
-------------
I bought the car over 9 years ago used with around 128k miles on it. From there I have done an extensive number of mods and maintenance to ensure the car runs forever. Throughout the year's things have gone bad as with any car. I have replaced everything OE or Greater materials when doing maintenance. The car runs amazing and I hate to let this car go but I don’t have room for 4 cars.
