Rare 2003 E46 M3 Oxford Green on Cinnamon, Tastfully Modifie

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
None

Item Interest
Hello M3post. Up for sale is my 2003 Oxford Green on Cinnamon E46 M3. I purchased this car in May of 2007 from Shelly BMW with 45k miles on the clock, as cliche as it may sound, I intended to keep her forever. However, I've fallen down the slippery slope of Porsche's and recently acquired an aircooled 911, which will require a lot of my time, space, and money.

The car holds a clean CarFax with 3 owners. I have since maintained the car and placed common bolt on modifications, such as KW Variant 3 Coilovers, AKG 90D Rtabs & Fcabs), 18" APEX Arc8 wheels, and a ZCP Steering wheel. I will throw in all of the stock parts that originally came with the car.

The car has been serviced by Kaiv (Kevin), StarsseSport in Irwindale, CA, and myself. The only known issue is the driver side door actuator which went out recently and is something I can have repaired if the buyers elects to have that complete. There are otherwise zero known issues with the car and I am confident the new owner can take it on a cross country trip or to the canyons/track immediately with no problems.

I truly love and care for this car and hope to find a new home that can love and appreciate her as much as I have. In my humble opinion, there aren't many (if any) E46 M3s that are around the same mileage that can compare. This car is intended for an enthusiast who can appreciate an uber clean, well built, well cared for, and rare example of an E46 M3. If interested, please contact me at aglandicho@gmail.com and please, serious inquiries only. PPI's welcome, recently smogged and ready to go!

History:

-Owned since 2007
-Southern California Car
-3 Owners
-Clean carfax
**zero accidents, zero stories**

Modifications:

Suspension & Wheels:
-KW V3 Coilovers (60k Miles)

Engine: Stock

Interior: ZCP Steering wheel (Alcantara in great condition, as well as, lower steering wheel trim, which commonly fade)

Exterior: Stock

Maintenance:

"There were only 116 OG cars in all of North America.
113 - US
3 - Canada

48 -- 2001-2006 BMW M3 Coupe (BL93) - NA painted in Oxford Green 2 Metallic (430) with Cinnamon Nappa Leather (N5ZM) interior were built for the US market. 16 SMG, 32 manual.

none were built for the Canadian market."

Here are some production numbers shared by a member from another forum. It appears that 16 units in this configuration were produced by BMW Factory and were sent to North America.

I've been lurking this car since you posted it on the other forum. I had been searching for the perfect E46 M3 all year and this is one of the two best non-EAG cars that have come up for sale during that time, IMHO.

And now that I bought the other one, it's the best car

I never got around to calling you - I ended up with a LSB 6-speed - but I wish you luck with the sale. I'm honestly amazed how many people passed on this to buy other cars.

Thank you for the kind words and congrats on your LSB manual!

TBH, I’m quite surprised myself (biased I know), but I’ve yet to see a cleaner car with similar miles and model year, let alone something as rare. I’m going to have to be patient to make sure she goes to a good home.

Goddamn I love this car. I would highly suggest keeping it if you can!

I think if I could order a new E46 M3 this would be my second choice for spec after Techno on M cloth. GLWS!

I would dare say it is the top spec (- 6spd ) for a NON individual E46M

OG is still the absolute best E46M color, paired with cinnamon, priceless. keep it....

Unfortunately the deal fell through.....

Car is back on the market, as the buyer was unable to secure financing. Please keep in mind, if you plan on financing, most banks and credit unions will only finance up to KBB values.

I kindly ask to please have finances ready when placing a deposit or making an offer, as a "Prequal" may have certain stipulations.

At this point, I believe I've replied to all emails & PMs. My apologies for the delay in response, as I was lead to believe this past deal was "for sure".

Thank you to everyone else for the kinds words! Let's find ol' girl a good home.

I appreciate everyone for their kinds words, advise, and help throughout the process!

The car is now sold and gone to a good home. I'm happy she will stay local in Southern California, but not going to like.....this one hurt just a bit. It was a great 11 years with the car and I hope its the same for the new owner!!!
