BMW M3 2004 (E46 LCI)

Description

This 2004 BMW M3 coupe was initially delivered in Germany to a US servicemember and was imported to the US in 2006. Finished in Laguna Seca Blue over black leather and cloth, the car is powered by a 3.2-liter inline-six linked with a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes antilock disc brakes, 18″ alloy wheels, a factory lower aero package, xenon headlights, a power sunroof, rear parking sensors, front sport seats, automatic climate control, power windows, and a CD stereo linked to a Harman Kardon sound system. Acquired by the seller in 2024, this E46 M3 has 26k miles and is offered with an owner’s manual, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Virginia title in the seller’s name. The car is finished in Laguna Seca Blue (448) with Shadowline trim. Exterior details include a factory lower aero package, fog lights, xenon headlights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a glass sunroof, LED taillights, rear parking sensors, and quad exhaust outlets. The vehicle was ordered without a rear lip spoiler or trunk badging, and dings are noted on the roof, one of the doors, and the trunk. The 18″ M double-spoke Style 67 wheels were mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires in 2024. The car was factory equipped with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), and antilock braking is provided by four-wheel ventilated discs. The front sport seats and split-folding rear bench are trimmed in black Nappa leather with Anthracite Impulse cloth inserts. Appointments include automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, and a factory CD stereo linked to a Harman Kardon sound system. The headliner was replaced in 2024, and the seller notes a hole in the driver seat bottom. The leather-wrapped multifunction M steering wheel frames a 185-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a variable redline along with gauges for coolant temperature, oil temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 26k miles, less than 1k of which were added under current ownership. The 3.2-liter S54 inline-six was factory rated at 333 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Service since 2024 consisted of changing the oil and replacing the air filter, fuel filter, fuel-level sender, and fuel pump. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Work performed under current ownership included changing the transmission and differential fluids and replacing the clutch master cylinder and clutch. The Carfax report is free of accidents and other reported damage.
