2005 BMW E46 M3 with currently 14,320 miles in MINT condition.

Factory options -

Navigation
Park distance control
Harmon Kardon
Sunroof delete
*rear spoiler delete*
Xenon headlights
Heated seats

1 Original owner until 2014, making me the 2nd owner.

Clean car fax / no paint work / accidents / issues / clear subframe inspection

Completely stock except for 19 inch Competition wheels with fresh Michelin Pilot Sport ps2 tires (approx 1500 miles on the tires)

I have records for a full inspection done at 9106 miles showing car is clear of any issues, and all valves were in spec. Also have a clear 125 point inspection completed at 14,279 miles.

The car drives, sounds, and feels extremely crisp, and rides as a brand new m3 should. Shifts are nice and tight, and the suspension is so solid and brand new, you can actually feel the crest in the center of the road when you cross it.




































Color is very bright and vibrant - all lights and trim pieces are not sun faded or brittle -







Records -











Carfax when I puchased it -

Your ad says 1 original owner until your purchase in 2014. May I ask why you are selling so quickly?

I signed an agreement to purchase a new property the same day I purchased the car.

I don't need to sell, but lets just say, timing is everything.

That is simply criminally low mileage. Wow. And a sunroof delete, no less.

Why is 'spoiler delete' in asterisks? I have a M3 too and consider the spoiler a positive thing aesthetically and performance wise. Wouldn't have asked if you hadn't put asterisks up..

I will try to help explain:

Have you ever seen another M3 ordered from the factory with a spoiler delete option ? I myself, have not.

Just as its your opinion for a spoiler to be positive, not everyone feels the same. I personally like the clean, unique look, especially when combined with the no-sunroof option.

As far as the performance you mentioned, I am not exactly sure how much gain is had from the 3/4 inch or so truck spoiler. I would be interested to read about it, if BMW had ever released the technical specs.

I hope that helps clarify things for you !

That is one spectacular M3! I had an '04 and regret selling it. The build quality on these cars is exceptional and my car was 100% trouble free. This appears to be a great car for a very fair price. I sold mine with 47K miles in the high $20s. I don't know the seller, just posting due to my very favorable opinion of these cars. If my garage wasn't so full I would love to have this beauty. Good luck!

Man, I hate how BMW made the dash grey as well. I've swapped grey interiors to black / cinnamon / imola before, always hated the dash swap.

Either way, imola is amazing, 6 speed, and that mileage... such a beautiful car. I've owned 3 of them. They are phenomenal for a multitude of purposes. An excellent daily that you can take to DE and drive home.

Hard to find them in good condition, 6 speed, low miles and SLICK TOP. GLWS!

My 01 M3 came without the spoiler (no paintwork); I do believe it was an option.

Still probably one of the favourite cars I've ever owner, will most likely buy another if i need a non-ridic daily driver.

If this was a laguna seca / cinnamon combo, It'd be 40-50K collector special. Slicktops are super rare.

Had an 05. Loved it. That is amazing and one of the best colors. If I could I would take it off your hands.
