Item Interest

I regret selling my e90 and want to get back into another. I have meticulously cared for and tuned up my current e46 but would like to entertain trades for an e90 or e92. Looking for a 6MT with less than 60k miles, modifications OK with PPI and maintenance records. I would also entertain the right cash offer. If I was to put this car up for sale I would be asking ±$35k.

This Imola Red 2002 M3 was fully built around 2007 and is an absolute rocket ship. Around town and at low RPM it drives like any other e46, but get on the throttle at 4k or more and all 500+ horses throw you back in the seat. When built and dynoed, it made 560hp on 100 octane.

It has a few cosmetic flaws but runs and drives flawlessly, turns heads everywhere, and has just 60k original miles on the clock with clean title and zero accident history. It currently lives in my garage in Denver, CO and has never seen rain or snow under my ownership. Stock features include sunroof, premium sound, backup sensors, black interior (in good shape).

Spring is here and I'm bumping this up. Car has been started monthly but lived in my heated garage on a battery tender all winter.
