2006 BMW M3 (E46) ZCP 8,740 MILES

2006 BMW M3 Description

INTRODUCTION:You are bidding on a pristine 2006 BMW M3 (E46) with Silver Grey Exterior (A08) and Black Nappa Leather interior. It has the Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG) and the car only has approximately 8,7XX original miles. I say approximately because this number will creep slightly just to give it some exercise. It is absolutely everything you would expect from a car with this low of miles as paint is near perfect, interior looks and feels new, and mechanically it feels like it just came off the showroom floor. Title is in hand, free and clear of all liens, and is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner. Car has never been tracked or abused, is always stored in a climate controlled garage, and has never been driven in inclement weather.

PRODUCTION NUMBERS:This car is an 04/04/2006 production vehicle. It is my understanding that production on the E46 M3 ended at the end of June 2006. That puts this car as being close to the final run of M3's. Between 2001-2006, 1,727 M3 coupes were painted Silver Grey and had black Nappa leather interior for the U.S. market. 851 were manual transmission (89 were Competition Package) and 876 were SMG (104 were Competition Package)
FACTORY OPTIONS:All factory standard features and options are shown in the original window sticker included in the sale, but options include the following:

• Silver Grey Metallic Paint Upcharge
• Competition Package (ZCP)
• Premium Package
• Park Distance Control
• Xenon Headlights
• Navigation System
• Harman Kardon Sound System
• SMG Gearbox

EXTERIOR:The exterior Silver Grey Metallic shares the same color as the highly decorated M3 CSL only available overseas. It is a stunning color and with such low mileage, I see no major visible imperfections on the exterior paint. The only imperfections that I can "see" are under the bumper and those aren't even visible when looking at the car. You have to look underneath to see them. Road wear and debris nicks are virtually non-existant.
INTERIOR:The Black Nappa interior is about as new as you can get. I'm not seeing any rips, tears, scuffs, or blemishes anywhere. Bolsters show virtually no wear and the rear seats look like they've hardly ever been sat in. The only blemishes I do see are a couple small marks on the driver side trim on the door, which appears maybe the seatbelt buckle hit it a couple times. The center console armrest and cupholder area has a couple small nicks, but if you know BMW you know that textured black coating on most of their cars is terrible for wear. Aside from that, I don't see any issues and there are no annoying ticks/rattles/clanks anywhere when driving 5 mph or 65 mph.
MECHANICAL:This car drives and feels like new. I feel zero issues with the SMG (comparing to 2 previously owned M3's with SMG) and shifts beautifully. The car idles great and again, is what you would expect from a car with this low of miles. I don't hear any anomalies in the engine or exhaust note. Interested buyer is obviously welcome to drive the car to see/hear for yourself. Engine pay is extremely clean with no issues present.
MODIFICATIONS:This car only has a couple aftermarket modifications. Those include tinted windows and painted front bumper reflectors to match the Silver Grey. This car actually had previous modifications that were installed by the previous owner for approximately 1200 miles. When we got the car we had a local shop do a full de-mod and removed all aftermarket parts and swapped them out with the OEM factory parts that the previous owner kept and delivered with the car. All parts were installed by the previous owner for show purposes only. Please contact me if you would like to have the full list of parts. I can also provide you with the contact information of the shop that performed the demod if interested. The shop, BakerSmith, LLC, was extremely diligent with the whole process and did a phenomenal job taking the car back to stock. Pictures were taken and full explanation of their work is available. They will certainly vouch for this car.
SERVICE & HISTORY:
Once the demod was complete, we did a complete oil change and alignment on the car. A full pre-purchase inspection has been completed by Enthusiast Auto Group here in Cincinnati, OH and reveals no issues that need to be addressed. EAG will confirm this and are available to discuss over the phone if necessary. Refer to the PPI for contact information. If you would like another PPI done that will be done at your cost and we are happy to take the car to a service provider of your choice. Additionally, I have a CarFax that I am able to provide to you and it is 100% clean, as expected, with standard service intervals called out and change in registration. Please note that there is a passenger side airbag recall that is out for these cars, but we have not been notified of parts being ready at this time.
We are the 3rd owners of this car. The original owner purchased the car in Southern California where it resides. All service was done by BMW of Irvine in Irvine, CA. It is my understanding this owner had the car for approximately 7,100 miles and then picked up by the second owner around October of 2015, who also resided in Southern California. As mentioned, he only put 1200 miles on the car and then we purchased in December of 2015. Car went to South Dakota, where my family lives and where other BMW's are enjoyed. The car was stored for the winter in a climate controlled garaged and never taken out into the snow or salt. In the Spring, the car was enjoyed for a few months and we then determined we wanted to pursue other BMW models. We already have another E46 M3 so this car was the logical choice to go. We decided to do a de-mod so others could enjoy the special parts, but that was not going to happen in South Dakota, so I coordinated transportation to have the car enclosed transported to Cincinnati around the beginning of July 2016. Shortly after arriving here in Cincinnati, I dropped the car off at BskerSmith for the de-mod. After de-mod the car was enjoyed in its stock form and that leads us to now with the car being up for sale.
TRADES:Although a trade is not our first choice, we would trade for the right car. The only car we are currently interested in is a 2001 or 2002 S54 Z3 M Coupe. Car must be low miles (less than 40K preferred), must be WITHOUT a sunroof, clean history, and will consider most colors but not really a fan of Black or Silver. Let me know what you have and we'll go from there.
PRICING & PAYMENT:Vehicle is listed at $39,900 OBO. All reasonable offers will be considered. I would rather talk to you then go back and forth on eBay's offer system. Low-ball offers will be ignored altogether. Serious inquiries only would be greatly appreciated. A $500 non-refundable deposit will be required before purchase. This can be done by PayPal, Cashier's Check, Money Order, Bank Transfer, etc. Balance of payment must be received within 10 business days of deposit. Title will be provided upon receipt of full payment. Please have all financing, if applicable, in place prior to our agreement to streamline the process.
SHIPPING:Buyer will be responsible for arranging all transportation, if applicable. As a reminder, the vehicle is located in Cincinnati, OH and is certainly available for pick-up and showings. We will be happy to help coordinate pick-up for any transporter. If buyer needs suggestions for transportation companies we can certainly provide that as well as we have had great service from a couple enclosed transport companies.
THANKS FOR LOOKING:I appreciate your time taking a look at this gorgeous car. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions at all.
