2006 BMW M3 Base Coupe 2-Door Description

For sale is my 2006 M3 with under 43.5k miles and a 6 speed manual transmission. Clean carfax and it has never been in any accidents. I am the third owner and have owned it for a little over 2 years. The previous owner bought the car CPO and was in the military (hence registration history in various states). In addition, the car has actually had some time in Germany making it a bit more unique than your typical E46 M3 (Please see Circular German Registration Sticker and paper maintenance tags).
The car has always been garage kept and it shows. All window trims, seals and weather-stripping are original and in excellent shape. The car was only a fair-weather car and not driven in winters. Undercarriage is spotless and the car is mint overall, but I will let the pictures speak for themselves. The car had a clear bra on the front bumper, hood and fenders on the front. The front Bumper portion was removed due to a poor install but the bra did an excellent job at protecting the paint so the bumper looks great. The interior is one of the cleanest I have seen in any E46 in person and it still has traces of the new car smell. There is zero peeling, bubbling or scratches on the soft touch trim in the center console area. No drinks were allowed in the car (except bottled water) so the cup holder was replaced with a Euro Tray. I can swap the insert for a cupholder if the buyer desires. All fabric on all pillars is intact and not peeling. The Sunroof shade smoothly slides in and out.
Recent Maintenance (500 miles or less):
Frequent Oil Changes Annual or 5k miles whatever came first (Refer to Valve train Photos)
Full Inspection II with about 500 miles on it, inlcluding:
Valve Adjustment
Valve Cover Gasket (OE BMW)
Fuel Filter
Air Filter
Differential Input Shaft Seal (Had a slight weep)
Rear Main Seal (Preventive)
Engine Oil and Filter
Transmission Fluid
Differential Fluid
Cabin Air Filter
Brake fluid flush
Beisan Vanos Disc and updated Vanos Bolts to prevent any vanos issues.
Rear tires only have a couple thousand miles on them, about 85% left. Front Tires have 75% tread left. All suspension is nice and tight. Brakes are approximately 80% all around.
Subframe has been inspected with no issues. Diff and subframe bushings are still nice and tight. Late 2005 and 2006 Coupe models have a convertible subframe which has been shown to be more reinforced than the regular coupe one. I decided against foam reinforcement due to some peoples preference to have plates welded versus epoxy, but would happily work out a reinforcement (foam) for any buyer.

I am located in central NJ and am open to shipping but funds must be paid in full and cleared prior to releasing the car. The car does have a lien which I can fully cover once a potential buyer leaves a deposit to show they are serious.
Yes I know in 5-10 years I will be kicking myself for letting this go, but at this point in time this is simply the choice I have to make. At the same time I am not desperate to sell so I will not respond to any low ball attempts.
No test drives/joy rides without intent to buy the car due to the rarity of an E46 under 45k miles and this condition.
Thank you for looking.
