The BMW M3 is one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. The vehicle first entered production in 1986 and quickly became known for its high performance and excellent driving dynamics. The E46 generation of M3s was produced from 2000 to 2006 and was the third generation of the M3. The E46 generation was powered by the legendary S54 3.2 litre inline six-cylinder engine, which produced 343bhp and could boast a redline of 8000rpm. This power was sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission, or the optional SMG semi automatic. The E46 M3 was also equipped with several performance features, including a limited-slip differential, larger brakes and improved suspension. The E46 M3 was praised for its handling and power, and it is still considered to be one of the best M3s ever made.

This example is presented in Carbon Black with an Imola Red interior and was originally supplied by Jacksons BMW Jersey in 2005, who serviced the car up until 2010, by which point it had covered less than 13,000 miles. Being a Jersey car, this example has covered very low mileage, compared to most other M3's on the market, having covered less than 49,000 miles in its 19-year lifetime. The UK Taxes have been paid for the car, so all that's left to do, is to apply for a V5C registration document for the new owner. The most recent service undertaken was in July 2023, the engine and diff oil were changed, a new rear spring was fitted, rear lower control arm bushes were replaced, and a new steering angle sensor was fitted. The history file contains all original manuals and the service book showing the important running in service was carried out by Jacksons in September 2005 and a further four services by them. The car has then regularly been serviced by independent garages and specialists and presents in excellent condition today. Consigned by Fraser Smith
