For Sale: 2006 BMW E46 M3 Individual Estoril / Nappa black

[Gt4]

Testing water… I don’t really want to sell this car cause won’t be able to find something similar but I am not using it at all… Did 10000km on it in 6 years. I want to start to do track days again to justify owning a sport car and this one is too nice to put on track.

I still have some modifications installed on this car and they won’t come in the sell. So I am keeping my Recaro Sportster, BBS LM, Ohlins R&T, Supersprint Stepped V1/cats/dual section 2, … I will take better pics when I have more time and get OEM parts re-installed.


Asking price: $65000 USD

Transaction can be done at my local BMW dealer so they will handle paperwork for Letter of conformity and Customs.

I am selling my 2006 BMW E46 M3 Individual package with 6-speed Manual transmission from factory. Car currently has 91000km / 57000miles. I am the third owner and bought this car in 2018. Previous owner had the car for 9 years. No accident, clean Carfax. No lien on vehicule.


All panels and glasses are original except for the new Euro front bumper. Euro front bumper was painted at a BMW dealership.


Color combo is Estoril Blue Metallic (335) on Nappa black. Only 6 cars were built with this color combo for Canadian market with the 6 speed manual transmission and 10 for the US market. There was a total of only 58 Estoril Blue Metallic cars made for North America (all color combo combined) and probably half of them were equipped with the SMG transmission.

Awesome to see that someone likely loved this color so much on the E36, that they had to have it on the E46.

Estoril was offered by BMW Individual program and one of the most common Individual colors. It’s not a special request like some 1/1 color.

Estoril was also 1/3 color for the special edition 30 Years of BMW M. And while being rather rare in NA, in Europe it was more popular especially in UK.

This is a dream car for me. GLWS.

Thanks. I don’t think it will sell so it will keep being dream car for me

BTW have you seen there is another 2004 Estoril/two tone black/blue 6mt with 66k miles for sale on FB Marketplace? It has tons of nice mods on it and was previously owned by Kaiv

I haven't seen that one but pretty sure it's a member here. I'd take your car over that car personally . I think your car would sell to one of the enthusiast dealers for your asking price so you should shop it around there.

BAT would put a lower reserve on Canadian cars because their market is mainly in USA and said Canadian cars sells for less… That’s what they told me 2 years ago when I was selling my 2006 M3 Interlagos/Black with 54000km on it. They said reserve wouldn’t be higher than $32000usd… LOL

I am in contact with the owner of the other Estoril. He was on RIP M3forum.net but not here. I told him he should put car back to stock and contact EAG after. I offered to buy some of his mods and was/am ready to drive to PA to get the parts in person

This guy probably would buy your car: https://www.ryanfriedmanmotorcars.com/. But please don't sell to him since I think he is a douche but money talks. He was the dealer that sold this car: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-bmw-m3-coupe-40/

It sold after? Cause it was bid to $73000

According to the dealer it sold after but you have to take his word for it.
