Price: US $102.50
Re-enlisting due to an unpaid buyer. Selling as a NO RESERVE, so highest bid takes it. Please only bid if you intend to purchase and have all your finances in order (I will report you to eBay for non-payment) This vehicle is being sold AS/IS, where no warranty is implied. Buyer is responsible for shipping. The car does needs some sensors replaced so I stopped driving it. All the information is described below. This car is a Sunday driver and my commute is only 6 miles roundtrip:
I am offering a fairly unmolested and stock E46 BMW M3. I am currently the 3rd owner of this beautiful Carbon Black M3. the original owner was a doctor who later traded in for an M5. the second owner (and the one who kept it the longest) was a school teacher. I got my hands on this baby 14 months ago. This car has never been abused, but it is 15 years old so please don't expect a museum piece. I understand the VANOS has been replaced within the last 5 years (but I don't have any proof) Since I've owned the car I have done the following: Replace front leather seat cover with 100% real and matching red leather seat covers. I replaced the original 18 gunmetal black wheels ( which I had them completely refurbished and comes with almost new rubber and will be included to the winner of this auction if you want them) for the 19 you see in the pictures. the tires will need to be replaced soon. I replaced rubber trim around the windshield and the rear quarter windows, the rear quarter windows do function properly. I replaced the exhaust system with eBay brand cat-back exhaust with stainless steel mufflers (sounds really good, not loud or obnoxious) I will include the factory exhaust if you want it. I replaced the rear bumper lower trim with one that has carbon fiber around the exhaust tips (I will include the original one) I replaced the front kidney grills with cheap black ones (I'm not crazy about the fit and finish, but I broke the clips on the original chrome one and haven't tried to retro fit it back)
Here's the bad: the car has a check engine light and the codes tell me it needs a thermostat, engine oil level sensor, coolant temperature sensor and oxygen sensor. the power lock switch housing is broken (switch works). the shift knob leather is worn and the illumination displaying the gears is not working. I added an AUX cord for audio in and damaged some mounting tabs on the radio and the HVAC controls (the radio and HVAC controls are fine and look good but I have to disclose that). The switches on the steering wheel are worn but all function fine. the driver side door panel has some discoloration around the bottom by the pocket. the driver side power seats works except on one of the UP motors (not sure if it front up or rear up) but the seat does recline and slide front and back. The driver side sill plate pint id worn from getting in and out of the car over the years. The carfax shows no accidents but I can tell the rear end has been repaired. The work is good but definitely repaired. I have 2 keys but one is in pieces (I tried to replace the battery and ended up breaking the key) so no working keyless entry.
I have tried to be as honest and upfront as possible with everything I know about this car. The reason I am selling is because I have 2 small children and the car seats are beginning to become a pain. I have my eyes set on an M5 (mainly for the 4 doors) but I will miss driving this car. It's a ton of fun to drive. That inline 6 is so responsive and a blast to drive. I know you will enjoy this awesome M3. I have a small balanced owed at the bank but will not be an issue to get the title release. I have set it as a NO RESERVE so this car will sell. winning bidder must deposit a non-refundable $500 deposit via paypal within 24 hours. I will accept cash, cashiers check or bank draft for the remaining balance. funds must clear before the car is released. please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions or need additional info.
Thanks for looking and good luck.
