For Sale: 2001 Laguna Seca Blue E46 M3, black interior, manual, coupe, Big 3 done

[ryanb122]

For sale is my Laguna Seca Blue, 6 speed manual, black interior 2001 BMW E46 M3. I love this car but the time has come for me to downsize my collection of cars. Ive had the car for just over two years now and I've only put about 1200 miles on since ive had it. The car has 121k miles and holds a clean title with 0 accidents. The car runs and drives like a dream, everything works like it should, almost like new. The car has always been maintained very well with all services being completed at the dealership or BMW specialist (see below). The big 3 have been completed on the vehicle, Rod bearings done In 2008 @ 48k miles at the dealer, vanos was done at 73k miles and the subframe has been professionally re-enforced by VT Motorworks in November. When the subframe was done I had all new OEM subframe bushings and RTABs with the shim kit installed as well. This is a great example of an E46 M3, the car has always been garaged and washed every week or two, the paint is in incredibly good shape for the age. The only imperfections are the very common m3 issues with cracking rear window seals, fading mirror glass, missing m3 engine emblem, dime sized dent on the passenger side. Also, the rear tires will need to be replaced soon. The car is mechanically 100% stock with the only upgrades being the competition wheels and ZCP shift knob. The car is registered till 2021, recently smogged and I have the clean title in hand ready to go for sale. This is a hard-to-find unmodified, unabused LSB with the big 3 addressed. I am asking $31,500 for the car. Feel free to contact me if you are seriously interested, 408-76one-871three. Please no low ballers.
Thank you

Car looks good.

A few things. Rod bearings being done under warranty by BMW doesn't really count. They're a wear item and should last around 100k miles. With some simple math, they're going to be due in around 20k miles. What was done to the vanos exactly? What plates were used on the subframe?

Also you are missing the engine cover emblem.

For your asking price, don't leave these details out.

This is probably the combo everybody wants, Laguna seca, 6 spd manual, and it rarely comes in black interior too. My favorite for sure GLWS

Thanks for the heads up, I updated the add.
Yea the rod bearings have 73k on them so they should be good for a little while. Like you said though they are a wear item and no matter what m3 you have they will have to be done at some point. I think for a buyer knowing they were done professionally by the dealer and you have some time before they need to be done again is a plus.

Have you considered putting this on bat?

Is the car still for sale? Is it an original 6 speed and black interior or have conversions been done over the years?

Figure I’ll ask again if this is still for sale

Considering this was posted last year and the poster hasn’t responded since the day it was posted, I’m guessing sold.
