2002 BMW M3 E46 | Factory 6-Speed Manual | Original Example
Located in , Sydney
An opportunity to secure a genuine and increasingly sought-after factory 6-speed manual E46 M3, presented in Titanium Silver with black interior.
With many examples on the market being SMG or manual conversions, a true factory manual car such as this represents a more desirable and engaging ownership experience.
Travelled 180,680 kilometres, this example remains largely unmodified, retaining the character and balance that have made the E46 M3 one of BMW Ms most respected drivers cars.
Importantly, key maintenance items have been addressed, including rod bearings (with supporting invoice), along with a recent service. The VANOS has also been checked and found to be operating as expected, and the subframe has been inspected with no known issues reported, offering increased confidence for the next owner.
At its core is the iconic 3.2L naturally aspirated inline-six (S54), paired with a proper 6-speed manual transmission delivering a driving experience that is increasingly difficult to replicate in modern performance cars.
The E46 M3 continues to gain recognition as a modern classic, particularly in factory manual form, with clean and original examples becoming harder to source.
This vehicle presents well for its age and kilometres and is an honest, well-maintained example.
