BMW M3 (2002)
for sale

Price: US $6,600.00

Description:

I'm selling my 2002 BMW E46 M3 SMG Coupe as a parts vehicle after it suffered an interior electrical fire. The fire extinguish itself after it burned most of the dash board and many of the electrical components behind it(but not all). I'm only going to list(the bad) what IS damaged, what I don't list is in confirmed working order. 92, 868 was the final odometer reading. Asking $6, 600 obo

- Rasp terminator>X-Pipe section-2 exhaust

The bad:
- Entire Dash Board Melted from an electrical fire originating from the instrument cluster
- Cluster(Obviously)
- EWS Key Transponder(if this wasn't damaged in the fire, the car would START, RUN AND DRIVE perfectly fine. The SMG TCM, HCU and ECU are in good working condition and the car still pulls itself in/out of gear/shifts as commanded(the TCM can not do this without a valid signal from the ECU)
- Entire Climate Control System(Blower Assembly, housing, motor, computer, blend/mode doors servos, final stage unit).
- Rain Sensor
- All Glass(Windshield, Windows, Quarter Windows, Rear Window((darkened in the fire))).
- LCM (Light Control Module)
- Master Harness
*Windows still operate as well as TCM.
*Fuse Box is unscathed.
- The only reason I'm not fixing the car myself (about $7k in damage(mostly upholstery, instrumentation and climate controls, needed repairs have been assessed) is because the insurance company branded it as parts-only non-transferable when they determined it to be an OTL(Obvious Total Loss). This car is in perfect structural and mechanical condition. Because the car can never legally see the road again, it's only option is to be a parts donor or a track car, neither of which I have time for. This car was BABIED until this happened in late June. Car was driven the day before this happened. Cluster was all stock, research shows a bad cluster going up in flames by itself is not unheard of(but is very rare) on E46's and seeing as the cluster was the first to catch fire, this appears to be the case. I bought this car eight years ago and have put serious time and money into it. Because everything besides the interior is good(engine, trans, drivetrain, diff, suspension, braking system, cooling system, chassis, remaining body panels, under-hood electronics, etc.), low offers will be ignored. If the EWS is taken out of the system the car could be driven anywhere, minus the windows and some missing body panels. You're getting more of a damaged road car prepped for the track than a parts-car here. This would make a perfect racecar build to start from or would be perfect for someone who needs a spare car for parts. Buyer is responsible for pickup, located in Fairfax, VA. Buyer MUST BRING OWN WHEELS, as the ones seen I am keeping. NOTE: Some components in the pictures are SOLD. Please see above for what has been sold off the car. Car is being sold as a whole. Please do not email me asking for parts from the car.

Condition:Seller Notes:
Used
“Fully mechanically sound, 92,868 miles on everything, interior electrical fire damage, upgraded suspension, exhaust, braking system, body panels and more. Email me for more pictures and a full mod list. The car suffered an electrical fire originating in the dash cluster(very very rare issue but I'm not the first person with an E46 for this to happen to in this way). Fire took out everything at the dash and the only reason I'm not rebuilding the car myself ($6,600 worth of parts sourced used)is due to a "parts-only" branded title via the insurance company because they thought of the possibility of firewall damage from the dash fire, which there isn't any. Ether a project racecar or a parts car for any E46 M3. I can not emphasize how meticulously maintained this car was and how much money went into its build before the fire happened(I was driving it just hours before the fire which happened after I put the car away for the night). Devastating loss for me but a rare opportunity for you.”
