    This M3 is in excellent condition all around and has been meticulously maintained. I am the third owner and have owned the car since March 2011. It has never been winter driven or involved in any accidents and it shows. The car has been fully detailed inside and out and the paint has been ceramic coated. The front bumper as well as the front of the hood and front fenders have paint protection film applied. Fully documented service history since the car was brand new, as well as oil analyses done at every oil change during my ownership (will provide both upon request). A lot of what I have done has been preventative. The car has been very reliable over the course of my ownership. No leaks, no rust. I have addressed all 3 of what I would consider the biggest potential issues on the E46 M3 (subframe, rod bearings, VANOS).


    Maintenance (just a small sample of what has been done, will email full spreadsheet upon request)
    -Rod bearings replaced preventatively with Bimmerworld treated rod bearings at 74k miles (BMW bearing recall done at 38k miles)
    -VANOS components upgraded preventatively with Beisan components (pump disk, seals), upper timing chain guide and cam sprocket bolts replaced preventatively at 95k miles
    -Subframe reinforced preventatively (no cracks present when plates installed) with TMS reinforcement plates at 70k miles
    -Castrol TWS 10w60 used for all oil changes (once a year or every 5-6k miles)
    -Shocks, springs, mounts, RTABs, FCABs, sway bushings, and end links at 89k miles
    -Complete cooling system overhaul at 98k miles
    -Rebuilt all 4 brake calipers at 102k miles
    -Service Inspection 2 with valve adjustment completed at 112k miles
    -Replaced VANOS high pressure oil line and crankcase breather drain line with updated OE parts
    -All fluids and filters replaced regularly


    Original clutch is still going strong, no signs of slippage. Tires are Michelin Pilot Super Sport with 23k miles on them. The car has the following modifications (stock parts included as noted).


    Suspension/Brakes
    Bilstein B12 suspension kit (consists of Bilstein HD shocks and Eibach Pro-kit springs)
    Ground Control street camber plates
    OE BMW front strut tower brace
    OE BMW front strut tower reinforcement plates
    ECS rear shock tower reinforcement plates
    Vorschlag RTAB limiters w/ fresh OEM bushings
    ECS SS braided brake lines
    Bimmerworld brass caliper guide pin bushings (stock bushings and pins included)


    Engine/Tuning
    CPI stepped headers
    CPI RTX section 1 (resonated, cat-less) (stock included)
    Supersprint resonated section 2 (stock included)
    Stock muffler
    Evolve tune – 93 octane, top speed limiter removed, shift lights for manual cars, CSL warmup light values, post-cat O2 readiness (tuning cable and stock tune file included)
    aFe Pro-Dry S drop-in air filter


    Other
    330d shift lever (stock shift lever included)
    Rogue Engineering delrin shifter carrier bushings
    Rogue Engineering transmission mounts
    AKG delrin clutch and brake pedal bushings
    OE BMW LED taillights
    Euro LCM (light control module)
    Rear foglights wired up and fully functional


    I took the car to a HPDE once a year from 2013-16 for a total of 4 events and approximately 500 miles. Aside from a minor leak from the CPV the first year I attended, I have experienced absolutely zero issues as a result of tracking the car. The car was an absolute champ all day at the track and driving to/from the track, even in 90 deg heat. The oil analysis reports show that the engine is very healthy and wearing normally.


    This M3 is in great shape and ready to go! Comes with all 4 keys, owner’s manual, original trunk tool kit with air compressor, as well as the original window sticker. PPIs welcome. Clean title in hand. Car is located in Fort Wayne, IN.


    Any questions or if you would like additional pictures, don’t hesitate to ask. Please PM me for contact info. Thanks for looking.

    It didn't go well . . . current plan is now to trade in the e91 and e92 for a 5 series wagon.
