This is one of BMW's finest sports coupes and it's rarer than an M3 (plus cheaper insurance, too).
5 Speed,E46 Non-Sunroof Garrett T3/T4 Turbo Coupe.
I WILL NOT SELL TO BUYERS OUTSIDE OF THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS!!!!!
I purchased this car in November/December 2015, worked on it for the past several months and now its time to go. This is one of the fastest cars I've ever driven, but it's not practical for Washington D.C. driving. It yearns for smooth, winding roads, and long straights. The savage, throaty, German growl, is quite unique because of the custom three inch exhaust with high flow stainless steel catalyst, MagnaFlow stainless steel resonator, MagnaFlow stainless steel rear and MagnaFlow stainless steel mid-mufflers. Once driving, the alternating symphony between the turbo and the waste gate, is music to the ears.
This car has so many new parts, its ridiculous. Of note...NEW M5 Clutch (rated for 400hp)/Pressure Plate & Lightweight Flywheel and NEW GARRETT T3/T4 TURBO!
Besides the rare BLUE paint job, big motor with over $14,000.00 in custom performance modifications work, I also fell in love with the symmetrical (can rotate front to rear and vice versa)19" Genuine BMW CSL Wheels ($2500), Full, Black, buttery smooth, M3 Leather Interior (with heat and power options), M3 pedals, M3 Shift knob, and M3 Power Mirrors.
The custom tuned BMW ECU with resources from ATP Turbo ($2k). It has been my daily driver for the past five months. The TURBO is a custom set up and is very rare. The original engine and clutch work was performed by Mike at Maximum PSI (Linden, NJ). The early tune up and ECU Programming was done by someone at Maximum PSI, named "Nick G." The original ad for the car projected the horse power at 350-400. Motors with turbos like this have gone as high as 500hp-600hp.

I neverdyno-ed this car, but Maximum PSI in Linden, NJ estimates, it is supposed to have between350-380hp. I have the w/g pressure turned down for every day driving and it is still very fun. The tires are in good shape. The spare tire is a full size spare. The headliner is in excellent shape. All power windows work flawlessly. The brakes are in excellent shape and stop without a squeak, a pull, or a chatter. The transmission shifts as it was new,syncros are in excellent shape - there is no problem shifting gears or in engaging reverse. As description states...car passed emissions and safety inspections AND the car has about 10,000mi until next check up. The Performance Pioneer Stereo does not have an "internal cable" for using iPhone or iPod - I'm not even sure what this is, truthfully. All I know is...you can use the stereo system with a cable and a mount provided for using iPhone 5S (like mine). Keep the questions coming...
