A true modern classic, this 2003 BMW E46 M3 is one of the most celebrated M cars ever produced. Powered by the legendary 3.2-litre S54 naturally aspirated inline-six and paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox, it delivers an engaging, analogue driving experience that is becoming increasingly rare.
With 138,500 km and only two previous owners, this example has been meticulously maintained and extensively refreshed, with all the major known E46 M3 items already addressed.
Key Highlights & Maintenance:
3.2L S54 engine producing 252 kW
6-speed manual transmission
2 previous owners
Rear subframe mounts professionally welded
Main Bearings changed
Complete polyurethane bushing kit installed
Suspension bushings
Differential mounts
Brand new shocks fitted
New tyres fitted
Thanks to the comprehensive suspension and drivetrain refresh, this M3 feels tight, planted, and exceptionally responsive, eliminating the common wear-related issues found in lesser examples. The polyurethane bushing upgrade significantly sharpens handling and improves long-term durability while maintaining a focused, performance-oriented drive.
This is a well-sorted E46 M3 that offers confidence, reliability, and pure driving enjoyment — ideal for the enthusiast who values condition and maintenance over hype.
A properly maintained, turn-key E46 M3 that’s ready to be driven and enjoyed.
