Crave the feel of sun in your face and wind in your hair? A notch above the ultimate driving machine, MotoeXotica is pleased to present this 2004 M3 Cabriolet. It was only available in coupe and cabriolet bodies as the previous sedan version had been dropped.

The E46 M3, first introduced in October 2000, appeared worldwide with the new 3.2L S54 M-tuned engine, with a redline of 8,000 rpm. As with most M engines, the S54 had six independent throttle bodies and this time it came with a drive-by-wire throttle. In the U.S., the E46 M3 came with similar engine output as the European version – 333 horsepower and 262 lbs-ft of torque due to close-coupled catalytic converters closer to the engine exhaust ports.

A six-speed Getrag manual transmission with a conventional clutch came standard, but optional was a SMG drive logic transmission (also known as the SMG II), which this car has. It is the standard six-speed Getrag transmission with an electro-hydraulically actuated clutch, meaning there’s no clutch pedal. Shifts are made via the SMG gear knob or the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

This cabrio, made on December 15, 2003, came with the following optional equipment­–fully automatic black soft top, smokers’ package, front armrests, heated front seats with lumbar support, Park Distance Control, rain-sensing wipers, xenon headlights, complete cellular phone preparation, Bluetooth wireless, 10-speaker BMW AM/FM Business Radio with Harman Kardon high-fidelity and CD changer in trunk, M light alloy double-spoke wheels, SMG Drivelogic transmission, COP control, shipping protection, Dynamic Stability Control, multi-function steering wheel, green stripe windscreen, auto dimming rearview mirror, power sport seats with memory functions, automatic air-conditionings and M leather steering wheel.

Vehicle exported from Germany and arrived in Charleston, South Carolina on January 12, 2004. Vehicle PDI completed on January 30 by BMW of Dallas/MINI in Dallas, Texas. First owner drove car for almost two years. Car received routine maintenance and minor repairs during this time. Second owner drove car for four months; no issue reported. Third owner drove the car for almost six years, during which time BMW recalled the car as part of a larger recall to replace the passenger-side front air bag modules. Fourth owner drove the car for five months with no reported problems.

Outside, the Carbon Black (which some people may see as a dark metallic blue) paint (code 416) is in very good shape, with only minor blemishes visible overall. All glass panels are clear and intact, as are the vehicle’s exterior lights. The are some imperfections on the driver’s side of the tonneau cover but the hood, trunk lid, doors and fenders are all laser straight and in great shape, the black power top is in good shape and all trims pieces are present.

Inside, the black leather (code N5SW) front bucket seats offer supportive bolsters to keep the driver and front passenger in place during cornering while all of the seating surfaces, front and rear, show minimal to no wear. The complimenting carpet is in good shape and the dashboard is crack-free. The door panels show some minor blemishes, probably from the Joy of Driving over the years, but the thick leather sports steering wheel and leather shifter are still in good shape. Also, some of the gray painted trim shows some cracking and hazing. The rearview and sideview mirrors and console are in good condition.

The car rides on Bridgestone Potenza tires in front, 225/40R19, and BFGoodrich GForce Comp 2 tires in back, 255/35R19, surrounding standard BMW M-series light alloy double-spoke 19-inch wheels and has a tire pressure-monitoring system (TPMS).

The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3-Series, developed by BMW’s in-house motorsport division, BMW M. M3 models have been derived from the E30, E36, E46, E90/E92/E93, and F80 3-series, and sold with coupe, sedan and convertible body styles. Upgrades over the “standard” 3-Series automobiles include more powerful and responsive engines, improved handling/suspension/braking systems, aerodynamic body enhancements, lightweight components, and interior/exterior accents with the tri-color “M” (Motorsport) emblem.

The BMW M3 remains the only car ever to have earned more titles than the venerable Porsche 911 in motorsport and also is the most successful touring and grand touring car ever to have participated in racing.

Car comes with owner’s manual, vehicle care guide, road atlas/BMW Center Directory, safety tips guide, accident assistance guide, BMW Car Club of America, vehicle-specific Bluetooth Passkey details and other documents.
