Comments from the seller

2003 BMW M3 SMG Coupe – Priced to Sell 125,000kms. Runs and drives well, solid base for an enthusiast. SMG transmission. Completely stock example. Known E46 M3 items (rear subframe, VANOS, rod bearings) have not been addressed—price reflects this. Interior has some wear (driver’s seat) and minor trim issues (overhead console). Exterior presents well overall (~7/10). Unregistered. Inspections welcome. Ideal for someone looking for an affordable entry into M3 ownership or a project to sort properly. Priced to sell quickly, otherwise I’ll keep it and turn it into a project myself.
