Well sorted E46 M3 in rare Steel Gray on black leather with all common issues addressed:
VANOS overhauled, Subframe overhauled, Rod Bearings, Transmission and Cooling system all within last half year.
Daily driven, never tracked.
Looking for E90/E92 M3 DCT + cash or mint 335is. Must be DCT.
This is my 3rd E46 M3, owned for a year and no expenses spared in maintenance and driver orientated quality mods. Went through multiple iterations of modifications (3 different coilover setups, multiple bushings, intakes) to find the perfect balance of reliability and comfort.

History:
I believe 2 previous owners, both BMW enthusiasts.
Norcal/Socal car all its life, with one year spent in Spokane, Washington (garaged, never driven in snow).
Car itself is in great condition, both interior and exterior. Paint is in great condition, no accidents, frame damage or rust. All paint is original, front bumper could use a re-spray due to age. OEM CSL trunk color matched at BMW paint center.
All electronics are fully functional. A/C blows cold, stereo sounds superb, heated & powered seats function, auxiliary items such as defrost, wipers, lights, gauges all work as intended.
All upgrades & maintenance within last half year.
