BMW M3 Competition 2005 (E46 LCI)

Description

This 2005 BMW M3 coupe was delivered new to BMW Gallery in Norwood, Massachusetts, and the seller purchased it in 2011 and has since added approximately 36k of the 58k indicated miles while registering it in Iowa. The car is finished in Imola Red over Black Nappa leather and is powered by a 3.2-liter S54 inline-six linked with a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes the Competition, Premium, and Cold Weather packages as well as 19″ M cross-spoke Style 163M wheels, a power sunroof, xenon headlights, Park Distance Control, navigation, a Harman Kardon sound system, and heated power-adjustable front Sport seats. This E46 M3 is now offered with a window sticker, the owner’s manual, a spare set of wheels and winter tires, a valve adjustment shim kit, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Iowa title in the seller’s name. The car is finished in Imola Red (405) and features Shadowline trim as well as a glass sunroof, a trunk lid spoiler, xenon headlights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, LED taillights, Park Distance Control parking sensors, and quad exhaust outlets. The seller tells us that the rear bumper cover was replaced after the car was bumped at a stop sign, and stone chips are noted on the body. The 19″ M cross-spoke Style 163M wheels are mounted with Bridgestone tires. The car was factory-equipped with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), and braking is provided by four-wheel ventilated discs. The heated power-adjustable front Sport seats are upholstered in Black Nappa leather and complemented by Milled-Effect Aluminum trim on the dash and door panels. Interior amenities include navigation, a Harman Kardon sound system, cruise control, and automatic climate control. The seller notes that the airbags were replaced as part of recalls. The front speakers are intermittently inoperative, and the navigation screen has damage. The Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel features M-color stitching and 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 58k miles, approximately 36k 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. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The window sticker notes initial delivery to BMW Gallery of Norwood, Massachusetts, and lists factory equipment, colors, options, and a total suggested retail price of $60,570. A spare set of wheels and winter tires, and a valve adjustment shim kit are also included in the sale. The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.
