How rare is my M3?

[jkhoun]

i wasnt able to find one quickly that had silver/imola/slicktop in it on a quick search through that thread but i did find this...you know it'll be a lot less than 258

533 - 2001-2006 BMW M3 Coupe (BL93) - NA painted in Titanium Silver Metallic (354) with Imola Red Nappa Leather (N5IM) interior were built for the US market. 275 manual, 258 SMG.

53 were built for the Canadian market. 35 manual, 17 SMG

The most rare option in this car is the option S662A - Radio BMW Business CD. It was installed on 1,402 out of 26,202 cars.

where did you find this info for the m3?
I'm looking at a 2002 m3 tit silver, 6spd, vert, and its git black nappa leather

Seems like Maxbimmer is gone, and with it a bunch of production data. Bummer.

I did grab the data that was relevant to me, so I'll post it here for posterity.

19 - 2001-2006 BMW M3 Coupe (BL93) - NA painted in Alpine White 3 (300) with Anthracite M-Texture Alcantara + Black Extended Nappa Leather (F2AT) interior were built for the US market. 16 manual (9 are slicktop), 3 SMG (all 3 are slicktop).

7 were built for the Canadian market. 5 manual (2 are slicktop), 2 SMG (Neither are slicktop)




123 - 2001-2006 BMW M3 Coupe (BL93) - NA painted in Alpine White 3 (300) with Anthracite Impluse Cloth + Black Nappa Leather (G8AT) interior were built for the US market. 69 manual, 54 SMG

None were built for the Canadian market.

Titan Silver is the most common E46 M3 color there is. You aren't going to find any rarity with that starting point.

[jkhoun]

understandably knowing that tit siver was very common, I just wanted to know how many of those were 6sp verts

Silver was the most common, actually. The numbers I've seen say it's about 53% SMG, 47% manual. And about twice as many coupes vs verts. So just an estimated guess here, but your car is like a 1 in ~1500 if you're in the US.

how about a 2002 m3 vert, 6spd, tit silver with black nappa leather?

Super rare. By the way all E46 M3s are “6spd” one way or the other.

Do you have m texture or cloth?

I have AW, cloth, manual (unfortunately have sunroof) so sounds like we might have the same spec. 1 of 69 was what stickyfingaz pulled for me back in the day for production numbers.

[9kracing]

Mine came with cloth but I converted it to M-Texture,

Mine also came SMG and got converted to manual.

Sunroof here as well.

Was originally 1 of 54

Nice! Would love to see m texture in person and looks like you're in the Bay Area as well

[9kracing]

It seems there's actually a bunch of users in the Bay Area. We should all go to a Cars & Coffee together or something.

[simon_c]

Damn custom m texture on the recaro sportser cs's? Nice! Yeah we should definitely try to get together for a cars and coffee soon. I'll shoot you a DM

Last year, I had a 2006 E46 M3 Alpine White/M-Texture 6mt Slicktop from factory. It was a 1/2 for Canadian market and I know the other owner, it’s a 2002.
