This BMW E46 M3 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 2006 BMW M3 coupe is finished in Carbon Black Metallic over gray Nappa leather and is powered by a 3.2-liter inline-six paired with a six-speed SMG sequential transmission and a limited-slip differential. Additional equipment includes the Competition Package (ZCP) as well as a Magnaflow stainless-steel catback exhaust, a power sunroof, navigation, Park Distance Control, a Harman Kardon sound system, heated front seats, and xenon headlights. The car was first registered in California and was subsequently relocated to Illinois, where it was acquired by the seller in September 2010. This E46 M3 has 51k miles and is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, a car cover, spare and removed parts, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name. The outcome of the previous auction was impacted by a temporary server issue we have reopened the auction to ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to bid.
