2002 E46 BMW M3 Convertible Laguna Blue Seca

2002 BMW M3 Coupe Convertible Description

Up for sale is my 2002 BMW E46 M3 Laguna Blue Seca convertible SMG edition:

Mechanical State: The car runs perfectly. No vibration, shake, or rattle. It idles super smooth as if it was a new car. Maintenance was always up-to-date, oil was always changed at 3,000 miles using Castrol 10w/60 (factory BMW recommended). SMG transmission works as it should and has no issues. Can drive on Auto mode or manual mode, whatever you have the feel for. A/C runs cold, heater works, seat heaters, mechanics of the convertible top, radio and speakers, etc. all the usual stuff is in operating condition. Brake flush, oil change, tensioner pulley and belts were put in new just a few days ago.

Interior: Not the best, but not the worst - Driver's seat has a slit (as you can see on the pic). Nothing a reholstering could fix. Passenger seat has a tear on the side. Wear and tear on the center area by the shifter. Passenger side carpet a has stain from an unfortunate spill the previous owner did, passenger carpet is not OEM (although I still have it). Other than that, the interior is very much acceptable for a 14 year old car.

Exterior: Bad - It has a couple light scratches on the driver and passenger side doors. There are a few scratches on bottom of the BMW emblem on the hood. There's a very small clear coat fade by the driver's side mirror and the passenger door handle. 2-3 small dings on the body. Wheels have some curb rash.Antenna is functional but the plastic is chipping off. Headlights and tail lights have very minimal fade. There was some paint work done on the rear side of the car due to clear coat fade.

Good - Car looks very acceptable and clean after a nice wash and wax, never an accident, scratches are barely visible, all light bulbs are functional. I am confident it could look fresh and refined after a nice detail from an experienced detailer.

Additional notes: The car was hardly driven since purchasing it in 2004. It was never raced or used in any competitive automotive event. Only two mods were installed: K&N Intake kit (CARB legal, see the pic of CARB sticker), and strut bar (German brand). Tires have a considerable amount of tread life left.

Car will be sold as-is, a signed Bill of Sale will be required before signing the title over. A non-refundable $500 deposit is required.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I know pictures are bad, but my camera broke and I want this sale to roll out ASAP. Let me know if you want better pictures and I can provide outdated/older ones.

Thank you.
