2003.5 BMW e46 M3 Coupe - Black on Black - 6MT
OG here with 25,000+ posts on M3forum before it went down...
Unfortunately, it's time to sell my Jet Black e46 2003 BMW M3 coupe with a 6 speed manual transmission. This is an extremely desirable configuration that took me 1 year of searching to find back in 2011. A ‘face lift’ model (2003.5-2006) with LED tail lights, coupe, black on black, heated seats, lumbar adjustable seats (option rarely selected), and the coveted 6 speed transmission: a clean, un-m0lested example. The previous owner was 63 years old who owned the car from 2004-2011 (Arizona). I’ve owned the car 11 years and counting. Never seen snow/salt.
The interior is in excellent shape.
This car is ready to drive and continually puts a smile on my face. I’m stopped ALL of the time with compliments on the looks and sound of the vehicle. I am in no rush to sell.
I will not ship the car, cash, no trades, I will not sell to dealers or brokers. I have extensive maintenance records (so thiccc you'll get hard) and I would be happy to answer any questions.
Car is located in Los Angeles, CA.
Mileage: 161,xxx
Price: $26,500
Mechanically, this car is in top shape with a ton of recent maintenance. The car has been SMOG’d, title is in-hand.
