testing waters on possibly getting rid of my E46 M3. I've had an itch for an E9X chassis for some time, so thought I'd make a feeler thread. Not in a hurry to get rid of. I've had the car for 6 years and it has been more than a pleasure to own. Car has had the big 3 completed within the past 15k miles. It is a former SMG model but had Kaiv down in SD do the conversion for me. It looks as it would have came from factory. Besides those items I have overhauled the cooling system, brake system and many other misc items. I would not hesitate to drive this car across the country. I have receipts of all services and parts that have been replaced.
BMW M3 2003 Slicktop
Clean Title
Alpine white/Cinnamon **very clean interior. Driver side has some cracking on the seat portion. Passenger/rear seats are in amazing shape for the year/mileage.
136xxx miles
SMG -> 6MT (performed by Kaiv @130k miles)
Modifications
Status Gruppe Header (will be removed to pass smog)
OEM Double resonated section 1
Rogue Engineering El Diablo Exhaust/Section 3
Fortune Auto Muller Coilovers. (Installed @135k miles) *installed front/rear strut reinforcements at this time.
2x2 Weave Carbon Fiber interior trim/Door handles (Oem parts were used for produce them)
Crystal LED Angel Eyes. **These really improve the front end of the car.
Status Gruppe CSL trunk
rewrapped steering wheel, I have a 9/10 condition silver trim gloss steering wheel trim to replace the one currently on.
Wheels
TE37 18x9.5 +22 squared on Toyo Proxes Sport with 85% thread
Maintenance
Vanos replaced by Ikonic in Hollywood @ 122k miles *CPV valve replaced at this time.
Rod Bearings swapped Status Gruppe @ 132k miles
*OEM Bearings/ARP Connecting Rod Bolts
Subframe reinforced by Lang Racing @ 133k miles
*At the time of service the Subframe bushings, differential cover, flex disk and diff bushing were replaced. CSB and RTAB with limiters were also updated.
Zimmermann Rotors and Pads installed @ 134K miles
Cooling system overhauled @134k miles
Steering guibo, Lemforder Swaybar links rear/front, Tie Rod kit, Trailing arm ball joints, upper control arm bushings, and Powerflex Rear sway bar bushings replaced @ 135k
other misc items like motor mounts, front control arm bushings, replaced within 10k miles.
Liqui Moly 10w60 oil changes every 5k miles.
Headliner and A/B/C pillars refreshed with OEM materials @136k miles
applied Zainos leather cleaner/conditioner every quarter.
There might be other things I can't think of. Will add to the listing if anything comes up.
Couple of things on my todo list for the car are listed below:
1. Rear bumper had some damage from the previous owner. It is on the passenger rear. I just ended up touching it up. See pictures.
2. Stereo unit gave out on me. It's basically on a booting loop.
3. Rear window rubber side moldings need to be replaced.
4. Front bumper has some scratches/ding on the bottom of the bumper.
Asking $31k without TE37/SGT header. Can remove RE exhaust to drop the price to 30k. Will come on stock 19” wheels. Pictures speak for themselves. I will be installing the oem header and smogging the car soon. Can include TEs for an additional price.
