Equipped with a 3.2-liter S54 inline-six engine and a 6-speed sequential manual gearbox (SMG), this 2004 BMW E46 M3 Convertible is finished in Carbon Black Metallic over Cinnamon leather upholstery. It features optional heated front sport seats, xenon headlights, a navigation system, park distance control, a Harman/Kardon sound system, and 19” Style 67 alloy wheels. The car has been registered in California since 2005. It has benefited from service in recent years including valve adjustments, a new valve cover gasket, spark plugs, coil packs, front brakes, and a cooling system overhaul. This E46 M3 is now being offered for auction with approximately 77k miles showing on the odometer.
The M3 can be distinguished from a standard E46 3-Series by its model-specific fascias, domed hood, front fender vents, side skirts, round aerodynamic mirrors, and quad exhaust tips. This example is finished in Carbon Black Metallic with a black power-operated convertible top. Equipment includes optional xenon headlights, integrated fog lights, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, and optional 19” Style 67 alloy wheels. The paint is described to be in excellent original condition as the car was garage-kept by the seller and previous owner. The seller adds that it was hand-washed and waxed under their ownership and a crack in the windshield has been repaired. Some road-going wear is visible on the front end along with minor touched-up paint chips around the exterior. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin features Cinnamon leather upholstery accented by Titan Shadow trim and black carpets. Accessories include heated and power-adjustable front sport seats, a leather-wrapped multifunction M sport steering wheel, paddle shifters, M-branded door sills, an M sport footrest, M3-specific gauges, a remote central locking system, automatic climate control, cruise control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a navigation system, and an optional Harman/Kardon sound system. The seller notes a stitch repair on the upper bolster of the driver’s seat, some discoloration on the lower bolster, a scratch on the center steering wheel spoke, and scratches on the soft touch plastics on the center console. Missing pixels are also noted on the navigation system screen.
This M3 is equipped with a naturally aspirated 3.2-liter S54 inline-six engine featuring Double-VANOS variable valve timing, individual throttle bodies, and M Dynamic Driving Control. Up to 343 HP is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed sequential manual gearbox (SMG) and an M Variable differential lock. Standard equipment includes four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with Dynamic Brake Control, speed-sensitive variable-assist power steering, M-specific suspension, and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). Service history provided by the seller includes a new valve cover gasket, valve adjustments, spark plugs, and coil packs in 2023, new front brake pads, rotors, a brake fluid flush, and fan clutch in 2022, and a secondary air pump replacement, rear differential fluid, and cooling system overhaul in 2021. A new battery was installed in July 2024.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, the original window sticker, a toolkit, a tire inflator, a car cover, a valve service kit, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “Wonderful touring car, best of both worlds - top-down automatic cruiser for PCH or flappy paddle shift if the mood hits you. Well-sorted and maintained by me. Never tracked in PO (was his wife's car) or my ownership and is doubtful in the previous two owners. Driven from Temecula area to Monterey Car Week 3x - Twice in Legends of the Autobahn. O'Fest in '22 in Palm Springs. SDBMWCCA Member. I'm 72 now and need to simplify. Once had four BMW - 325iT, 328 sedan, 328 IT, this car and a Miata so needs to go to someone who will continue to appreciate the rarity of color and performance.”

@INOV8 No leaks - I would not allow a car to leak stuff. Fortunately this car has never leaked, all maintenance was done preventively . Very tight on coolant, oil, rear diff. The crack is after the repair. It has not changed since the repair. It is out of view while driving and hard to see from outside. I chose to repair to keep the original run-in stickers on the drivers side. Only original once. I just think it is cool to have those still intact.
Nice M3! Does it leak any coolant or oil? Is the crack in the windshield in photo 17 before or after the repair was done?
Seller here - I will have this car at South Coast Cars and Coffee tomorrow 2/15/25 in San Clemente.
