2006 BMW M3

2006 BMW E46 M3 CONVERTIBLE SMG – 44,000 MILES 1 OWNER • ONLY 44,000 MILES • HIGHLY ORIGINAL & UNMODIFIED • FACTORY HARDTOP INCLUDED • LONG-TERM STORED SURVIVOR • RECENTLY RECOMMISSIONED • ENGINE, SMG, GEARBOX & DIFFERENTIAL SERVICED Registered in 2006 and showing only approximately 44,000 miles, this is not a typical modified or heavily used E46 M3. It is a highly original, unmodified example that has spent a significant period in storage and has now been carefully brought back into use. The car has had just 1 owner and retains the character and originality that collectors increasingly look for in the E46 generation. ONLY 44,000 MILES The exceptionally low mileage is a major feature of this example. Older MOT history records mileage in the 43,000-mile range several years ago, supporting the fact that the vehicle has covered very little mileage during its period in storage. ORIGINAL & UNMODIFIED One of the most important features of this M3 is its originality. It has not been modified, tuned or converted and remains presented in largely original factory specification – increasingly difficult to find as E46 M3 values and collector interest continue to grow. FACTORY HARDTOP INCLUDED The vehicle comes complete with its removable HARDTOP, a desirable and valuable addition that transforms the car for winter use and completes the classic E46 M3 Convertible package. Recent servicing includes: ENGINE SERVICE • GEARBOX SERVICE • SMG SYSTEM SERVICE • DIFFERENTIAL SERVICE • FLUIDS CHECKED/REPLACED AS REQUIRED • GENERAL MECHANICAL INSPECTION This work has been completed with the intention of preparing the car properly for its next owner and preserving it for future use. LEGENDARY S54 ENGINE The E46 M3 is powered by BMW’s naturally aspirated S54 3.2-litre straight-six, one of the most celebrated engines produced by BMW M. With individual throttle bodies, an 8,000rpm redline and approximately 343bhp, it delivers the character and performance that made the E46 M3 one of the defining performance cars of its generation. SMG TRANSMISSION This example retains the original BMW SMG transmission, offering both automatic operation and manual sequential gear changes. The SMG system has been serviced as part of the recent recommissioning. COLLECTOR-QUALITY OPPORTUNITY Finding a late E46 M3 Convertible with this combination of LOW MILEAGE, ONE OWNER, ORIGINAL CONDITION, FACTORY HARDTOP and no aftermarket modifications is becoming increasingly difficult. This is ideally suited to an enthusiast or collector looking for an original car to preserve and enjoy rather than a heavily modified or high-mileage example. Viewing is strongly recommended. Part exchange considered. Nationwide delivery available – please ask for a quotation. EAST MAINS MOTOR GROUP Unit 22, Thistle Business Park Broxburn, West Lothian EH52 5AS Call: 07887 272721
