Comments from the seller

If you are searching E46 M3’s you already know they are a collector’s car. You will also see that this is the lowest priced 2006 in Australia. I have dropped the price from original listing as I am now aware of the supposedly big 3 items that could need attention on this car model ie: sub frame, vanos and rod bearings. These things have not been done because they have not needed to be done. If, in the future they need to be done then a buyer can have all 3 done and still have made the cheapest purchase of an E46 M3. eg subframe reinforcing cost $3750. Whilst these 3 items have not needed attention a number of other things that have have been repaired such as a full diff rebuild, coil overs etc I know of the big 3 because I have been contacted by an army of current E46 M3 owners who have no intention of buying another they just want to big note how much they know about the car. I am only the second owner, and I have owned the car since 2009. This car has been looked after by BMW specialist Pinnakle Mechanics (Gold Coast) They have replaced many mechanical parts on the car over the years and am happy to provide a copy of invoices. Blue/black metallic (carbonschwarz in BMW speak) does have an imperfection on bonnet and Left wing mirror. Stunning red leather interior in great condition. Glass sun roof 252.0kW 3.2 litre engine! (the last of the 6's) Reaches 0-100 km/h in 5.2 seconds!. Multi-function steering wheel, listen to your favourite music and answer calls without taking your hands off the wheel. This car has full M body kit, front & rear power windows, cruise control and satellite navigation (GPS). Remote central locking, 18" alloy wheels, rain sensor wipers, front colour display screen, front fog lamps, Harman Kardon sound system. Happy to include personalised SMY463 plates (if car staying in Qld)
