This BMW E46 M3 got away, but there are more like it here.
This 2004 BMW M3 coupe was initially delivered to John Roberts BMW of Dallas, Texas, prior to being purchased by the seller in 2018 and now has 77k miles. Finished in Imola Red over black Nappa leather upholstery, the car is powered by a 3.2-liter inline-six linked with a six-speed SMG sequential transmission and a limited-slip differential. Features include 19″ M double-spoke wheels, the Premium Package, a power sunroof, xenon headlights, rear Park Distance Control, heated power-adjustable front sport seats, a BMW Business CD stereo, a Harman Kardon sound system, an alarm system, cruise control, and automatic climate control. This E46 M3 is now offered with a window sticker, factory literature, two keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Imola Red and is fitted with Shadowline trim as well as xenon headlights, fog lights, a glass sunroof, rain-sensing windshield wipers, LED tail lights, rear Park Distance Control, a trunk lid spoiler, and quad exhaust outlets. Paint chips are visible on the front end, and the seller states the rear window seals and trim components were replaced under current ownership.
The 19″ M double-spoke Style 67 wheels are mounted with 225/40 front and 255/35 rear Continental ExtremeContact tires. The car was factory equipped with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), and braking is provided by four-wheel ventilated discs. The right-rear tire was reportedly replaced under current ownership, while curb damage and blemishes are present on the wheels.
The heated power-adjustable front sport seats are upholstered in black Nappa leather, and Brushed Aluminum Shadow trim accents the cabin. Carpeted floor mats line the footwells, and interior amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, a BMW Business CD stereo, an alarm system, and Harman Kardon audio. Wear is visible on the center console.
The multi-function leather-wrapped steering wheel features M-color stitching and frames a 185-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a variable redline along with gauges for coolant temperature, oil temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 77k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership. An airbag warning light is said to remain illuminated.
The 3.2-liter S54 inline-six was factory rated at 333 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. According to the seller, the battery requires replacement. The car passed an emissions inspection in December 2022.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed SMG sequential transmission and a limited-slip differential.
The window sticker lists initial delivery to John Roberts BMW of Dallas, Texas, along with factory colors, equipment, options, and a total suggested retail price of $58,620.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Nevada and California through the most recent entry in December 2022.
