2003 BMW M3

OVERVIEW

This 2003 BMW M3 sport coupe is powered by an unmodified S54 3.2-liter inline-six mated to a six-speed SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox) sequential transmission. It has resided long-term in California and comes with automatic climate control, 19-inch Style 67 wheels, a lip spoiler, and quad exhaust outlets. Finished in black over a black leather interior, this E46 M3 is now offered by the selling dealer with an AutoCheck evaluation, a clean CARFAX report, and a clear title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The black exterior features xenon headlights, fog lamps, vented fenders, a power moonroof, a lip spoiler, LED taillights, and quad polished exhaust outlets. The selling dealer notes that the body shows normal wear and blemishes for a vehicle of this age.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Polished aluminum 19-inch split-spoke Style 67 wheels are wrapped in 225/40ZR19 front and 255/35ZR19 rear Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 tires. The wheels show curb rash as shown in the gallery to the right.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The cabin is fitted with power-adjustable black leather bucket seats up front, a bench in the rear, and matching materials for the door panels, dash, center console, and carpeting. In addition to brushed aluminum accent trim, other interior features include automatic climate control, power windows, cruise control, tinted windows, a Harman Kardon audio system, and a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation includes a 185-mph speedometer, a variable-redline 9,000-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges that show the fuel level, oil temperature, and coolant temperature. The digital odometer reads 99,981 miles, which is in line with the last mileage figure of 96,726 logged in the CARFAX report in April 2021.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The unmodified S54 3.2-liter inline-six was rated at 333 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is fed to the rear wheels via a console-shifted six-speed SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox) transmission and a limited-slip differential.

UNDERCARRIAGE

Handling is assisted by dynamic stability control. The braking system uses four-wheel anti-lock discs.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The CARFAX report starts in March 2003 when the vehicle was imported from Germany and shows no history of accidents or damage on record. A California emissions inspection was performed in April 2021. The selling dealer has provided an exterior and interior walk-around video below. An AutoCheck evaluation will come with the purchase of the car.
