Selling my 2003 E46 M3. Carbon black on Black leather. I’ve owned the car for about 6 years. Previous owner was in Texas. Car now resides in New York. I love this car but with 2 small kids, no longer having to commute to work because of remote work, it really pains me to just have this car sitting. It's only done about 1000 miles the last 2 years. I'm not in any rush to sell but I hope a fellow member can continue to drive and maintain her.
