For sale is this enthusiast-owned '03 BMW M3 Coupe that's been garage kept, is accident free and has been maintained well above/beyond factory recommended intervals. My intention was to keep the car forever, therefore I treated her as such (both in how I drove her (conservatively) and how I maintained her (meticulously)). All maintenance above basic oil changes was performed at certified BMW dealerships using OEM parts; I performed oil changes every 3k miles religiously using OEM filters and Castrol TWS 10W-60 (again, this was a long-term investment and oil is cheap insurance). I only used Griots products to clean her and hand-washed her only (never through a machine); clay-bar'd and waxed at least once every year (paint is very smooth/'buttery' to the touch; no swirls and very few rock chips).
The interior is in fantastic shape! I wore a flight suit for many years, therefore the drivers seat has less wear/tear than what you would expect for a car with 78k on the odometer. My wife hardly rode with me and only weighs a buck o'five, so the passenger's seat is in phenomenal shape. We don't have kids...so the back seat is virtually new! LOL! All trim pieces are in great shape and I replaced the leather SMG knob (in the pictures) with a new OEM one about a year ago. There are very few scratches/imperfections throughout the interior (the OEM sticker on the visor is missing...that's about it). The ashtray was removed and replaced with a 30-pin connector for the iPod integration unit (I use it with an adapter to use my iPhone 6s with no problem - full functionality using the steering wheel buttons).
She's never been tracked or raced. The subframe and other notorious items on the E46 body are in good shape with no cracks or problems. No squeaks, creaks or extranious rattles (thanks to being kept in an insulated garage). Clean title! As you can tell from the video (please go to the link at the top of the description), this is one seriously CLEAN M3 in all respects of the word, both inside and out. All original documentation, receipts, car cover, factory 18" wheels/tires, etc. are included in the sale.
So why am I selling this beauty after ten years of ownership (I'm the second owner, purchased as BMW Certified Pre-Owned in June '07)? Two reasons...first is that we're moving overseas in a few months and can only take one vehicle (this M3 and her MINI sibling got the short-straw in the rock-paper-scissors game); second is that over the last few years, I just don't find myself driving her that often (put less than 1k miles on her since moving to CO in '14). She's been relegated to a fair-weather, maybe-one-day-a-month car and spends most of her time in the garage under a car cover (w/battery tender attached). As much as it pains me to let her go, it's time for her to move on. My loss your gain. Hopefully throughout this description you've gleaned how much love and dedication I've given this car; thankfully she's rewarded me with many miles of driving bliss and has never sidelined me with any major issues. Don't let this be the one that got away...she's clean, low milage, meticulously maintained and has all documentation!!
