nij1983 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'd previously advertised the car for sale, but now has come the time that it has to go. Car has no issues but I'll be leaving the country soon so it won't be required. The car has been in my ownership since May 2014 and in that time it's been well looked after. I have owned the car from 115,500 miles and have done approx 5000 miles in the last 10 months of ownership. The car is used mainly on weekends and occasionally in the weekday. The car is mechanically faultless and has been well looked after over the years. Thankfully I have a friend who is a BMW mechanic and had done a thorough check before my purchase and has been completed all maintenance for me (fully invoiced and BMW service stamps). An Inspection II from BMW was completed just after my purchase (June 2014) as well as a new BMW alternator in July 2014. The car passed its MOT with no advisories on 1st October 2014. Road tax is due to expire at the end of April 2015 but this is no longer transferable so makes no difference The car has had a new SMG II gearbox installed in it at a cost of approx £3000 (receipts available for proof). Price: £6,700 Vital Stats: Car: BMW E46 M3 Convertible First Registered: 22/10/2002 Gearbox: SMG II (replaced at a cost of £3000 by previous owner - receipts available) Colour: Estoril Blue Interior: Full Grey leather Roof Colour: Blue Mileage: 120,500 (will go up slightly as the car is still in use occasionally) Road Tax: 30th April 2015 (as mentioned I will be renewing this) MOT: 13th October 2015 Former Keepers: 5 Previous (car was owned by one of the previous owners twice) Service History: Full; 90% Main Dealer; 2 Services done at independent (see below for further detail) Next Service: Oil Service in 9,500 miles Keys: 4 keys (2 main keys which work with memory seats; 1 plastic key; 1 master key) Sub-frame: Checked & is fine (not a major concern on the convertibles) Specs: Front Armrest Fully working electric memory seats & memory wing mirrors Headlight Washer System Rear parking sensors Bi-Xenon Light Touch screen DVD/Digital TV/Stereo/Navigation system (installed by a previous owner) iPod/iPhone connection kit Fully functional electric hood Electric mirrors which work with memory seats and keys Electric windows (all working) Climate control Cruise control 19" original alloy wheels Continental tyres all round Wind-deflector (removable) BMW Service History 0 Miles - Pre-delivery inspection - Taylors BMW - 14/10/2002 985 Miles - Running in check - BMW Cooper Chigwell - 06/11/2002 21099 Miles - Inspection I & Micro Filter - BMW Synter Chigwell - 09/01/2004 31325 Miles - Oil Service & Micro Filter - BMW Synter Chigwell - 12/08/2004 31325 Miles - Brake Fluid - BMW Synter Chigwell - 12/08/2004 41096 Miles - Inspection II & Micro Filter - BMW Synter Chigwell - 15/04/2005 50836 Miles - Oil Service & Micro Filter - BMW Synter Chigwell - 10/03/2006 50836 Miles - Brake Fluid - BMW Synter Chigwell - 10/03/2006 50836 Miles - Coolant - BMW Synter Chigwell - 10/03/2006 57765 Miles - Inspection II & Micro Filter - BMW Synter Chigwell - 03/10/2006 69347 Miles - Oil Service & Micro Filter - BMWorx (BMW Specialist) - 19/01/2008 84233 Miles - Inspection II & Micro Filter - BMWorx (BMW Specialist) 23/11/2009 102725 Miles - Inspection II & Micro Filter & Oil Service - H&L Motors - 02/05/2012 109508 Miles - Oil Service - H&L Motors - 13/12/2012 116000 Miles (exact mileage in service booklet) - Inspection II & Oil Service - BMW Cooper Croydon - 06/2014 (exact date of June to be confirmed) NOTE: The 2 services done at H&L Motors were done there as the owner of the car at the time was the owner of H&L Motors. His name is Jonathan and was happy to give me details of the car whilst in his ownership Other Work Carried Out 62790 Miles - Rear Trailing Arm Bushes replaced - BMWorx - 21/04/2007 New Discs & Pads - BMW Synter High Wycombe - 06/11/2008 4 New Tyres (Continentals) - 29/01/2009 116500 Miles - New BMW Alternator - BMW Cooper Croydon Mechanic - 29/07/2014 Exterior: The Estoril Blue paint is in excellent condition. There are a few minute marks, barely any stone chips, and a small scuff on the front lip. There is no evidence of rust to the bodywork. There is some peel on one of the parking sensors which I will have repaired. The navy blue roof is in excellent condition with no pulls/rips/tears/etc. The roof is treated with Auto Glym's Cleaner & Sealant. The windscreen is treated with Rainex which really helps vision. The car is washed with care, using a Meguiars lambswool mitt, Meguiars Gold shampoo, 2 bucket method, microfibre cloths for drying, dodo juice wax. Interior: Grey leather interior which is in excellent condition with no fading to it or any damage. There is some slight wear in the driver side bolster which can be seen in the picture. Carpets, side trim, dash trim are all in great condition too. The steering wheel has wear on it but hey, it is a 13 year old car. Steering wheel re-trim can be done for about £100-150 from several people on the Cutters forum. Alloy Wheels and Tyres: 19" M3 alloys on the car. They are in good condition, but have some kerb marks, and some paint bubbling by the centre caps. This is easily repairable through a refurb. Continental types all round, I haven't measured tread amounts but the car has passed its MOT on October and hasn't covered many miles since. Summary: I love driving this car...Although I've only owned it for a short period of time, I have looked after this car regardless of the cost. The sub-frame has been checked and there are no issues with it. I'll be sad to see it go another journey awaits me.

muckyman Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Very nice. Always liked the E46 M3. As you're leaving the country, i suppose you wouldn't want a 350Z for it? Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
