2002 E46 M3
VIN# - WBSBL93472JR17591
Steel gray/black interior
114k miles, clean title, 6 speed (swapped). West coast car its entire life, always garaged at home and work, non-smoker, no pets, immaculate interior/exterior/engine bay, purchased at 97k miles in April 2017, full service records since Day 1.
Key maintenance items during my ownership (these are just the highlights so I don’t drown the ad with too much detail, so feel free to DM with questions)
The car has been maintained religiously by Dan Avon (our Bay area E46 M3 savant) for most of the items since 2018 so you’ll have great provenance and familiarity. One thing we’ve noticed recently is that there is some popping of the spot welds between RACP and chassis on the driver side wheel well. Diagnosis is to continue monitoring and do a topside reinforcement kit if it progresses (most folks don’t do). However, I just wanted to be 100% transparent. I’ve also included a picture to show this. Car comes with 2 remote keys.
In summary, this is the 5th M car I’ve owned over the years, and it’s been a blast to own and drive. Zero leaks, and paint (aside from an underside bumper scuff, and 2 tiny scratches) is gorgeous. No door dings/swirl marks, and interior is pristine with no rips/tears/blemishes. All recalls (rod bearings, airbags) have been taken care of promptly. No accidents/stories/drama, just a fellow enthusiast looking for the next lucky owner to continue to drive and enjoy her.
