Description
This is an early heads-up for fellow enthusiasts: I’ll soon be parting with my 2002 BMW E46 M3, finished in Carbon Black over Imola Red Nappa leather, to make room for another potential future classic – an incoming GT4 RS. I’m listing it early to find the right buyer who’ll appreciate the car’s condition, history, and proper manual setup. The car is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition and was originally equipped with SMG but has been professionally converted by Bavarian Motorsport to a proper 6-speed manual with all BMW OEM parts, paired with a Dinan short shift kit for improved feel. The result is a clean, factory-feel 6-speed that transforms the driving experience. The S54 engine pulls hard to its 8,000 RPM redline and sounds phenomenal—this M3 delivers the raw, analog experience it’s known for.
Highlights: • One owner, Canadian vehicle - enthusiast-owned since new • Stored indoors, Non-smoker car • High-revving 3.2L S54 engine with 8,000 RPM redline • Professionally converted to manual with OEM components and Dinan short shift kit • Clean title, no accidents • Excellent interior with minimal wear • All systems functional – No warning lights, no odd noises, or issues • Meticulously maintained with service history and attention to detail
Major work already completed: Rod Bearings, Valve adjustments + Valve cover gasket, Thermostat + Coolant flush, Oil pan + gasket, O2 sensors + CPV O-ring, Clutch + Rear main seal, RTAB, Spark Plugs + Ignition Coils, Drive Belt + Rear Differential Fluid, New Tires + New Battery, Subframe inspected with no crack, VANOS healthy with tabs intact.
Asking $39800. Safety Certified, Used Vehicle Information Package
The car will be ready for handover when the GT4RS arrives (May/June), but I’m open to early viewings and discussions with serious buyers. Posting early to find someone who’s been looking for a clean, properly sorted E46 M3. Test drives for serious buyers only with valid driver’s license and proof of insurance.
