"I thought $35k was crazy for a silver/black E46 M3 with 84k." Damn, this is virtually my car ... seriously considering selling at that price.

You should list it. Feels like you would likely only get that price on BaT though

I thought $35k was crazy for a silver/black E46 M3 with 84k.

There's likely a premium here for a west coast / California car. 2 of the big 3 done. Car looks cleaner than average and interior leather looks really good for the miles. No accidents/paintwork and clean carfax. Feels like about right imo and it'd be $37K with the 5% premium. Mileage is interesting since it feels like 84K is on the lower side for these cars now but maybe that's just me.

This is a good example of an average enthusiast owned car in solid condition but needs some additional maintenance.

LCI doesn't matter in real life??

Tell that to Hagerty




Also, people refer to it as Dove grey and have for decades, even if BMW technically dropped the "dove" moniker for the E46.

Just like how people call Impulse cloth Speedcloth... nobody is confused. It's semantics.

There is no such thing as dove interior for the e46 m3. My m3 came with the black interior, however if I were to spec this car brand new - grey would be my top choice. I just wish it came with black floor and grey door cards. LCI only matters on the forum, not in real life, but being a 2004 makes it quite rare if you’re into that sort of thing.

[9kracing]

I mean realistically, an interior swap is easy enough and not brutally expensive depending on how you do it ... this could easily be made M-Texture or Cinnamon or whatever.

And it's still under 100K miles on a 20 years old car, I wouldn't call that "high" mileage ... but, it's not a $90,000 car. This is probably a good buy for a future flip.

Mileage + dove grey will keep that one from going to the moon

Yeah, that dove grey looks especially bad in combination with the exterior color to my eye anyways.

I think his number is for a slicktop specifically. Are you able to confirm?

Yes exact, it's also slicktop

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, 3 SMG.

7 were built for the Canadian market. 5 manual, 2 SMG






Still incredibly rare

This was my really rare spec E46 M3 back in 2022.

It's a 2006 AW/M-Texture 6mt, 1/2 in Canada and 1/9 in USA IIRC

I sold it to my friend and I did a full restoration to that car.

basically my dream build right there. Your estoril blue was up there for me too
