BMW E46 M3
Priced to sell
Are you ready to own the best model M3 ever produced? Well this E46 M3 is the car for you.
The E46 M3 is fitted with the legendary 3.2L S54B32 engine, producing an impressive 343hp (252kw) with a 8000rpm redline, along with the smooth factory manual gearbox, this car pulls hard, sounds amazing and turns heads.
This particular model was originally a UK 🇬🇧 car and was imported to Australia in 2012.
All documents and approvals included.
As such, the vehicle is in MPH instead of KMH The European models have an extra 10hp then their US 🇺🇸 counterparts. 💨
This particular example is coloured in the stylish CarbonShwartz metallic (dark blue) and looks awesome in the sun.
The paintwork is clean and mostly undamaged, in impressive condition for a 23 year old car.
To my knowledge, this is one of very few E46 M3 coupes for sale in Tasmania.

•New rear trailing arm bushes

myself
•Always ran on 98 octane petrol. (26MPG)
Car has done roughly 180,000klms
The E46 M3 is my dream car, and although I’ve only owned it for a few months, im listing it for sale as I’m wanting to buy a home sooner rather than later.
It has impressed me and has been so much fun but it’s time to pass it on.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the car as I can prove with its last 2 recent inspections, I also encourage all interested persons to come and see the car for yourself.
I have absolutely nothing to hide so ask, dig and dive right into it.
If you have any questions at all, DM me. I can provide walk around videos, photos ect. Happy to talk over phone if you wish, DM for phone number
proof of funds is required before test drives.
Send me an offer, worst I can say is no,
no swaps
Cheers.
