DESCRIPTION
- Purchased by an engineering director with a background in building concours-winning and magazine-featured cars, this M3 E46 was acquired in 2021 with the goal of creating a vehicle to exact original factory specification
- The project began soon after with a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration of over 1,500 hours, including the engine, chassis, bodywork, and interior, fully documented in the condition report
- Powered by a fully rebuilt, 3.2-litre, naturally-aspirated ‘S54’ straight-six engine, restored to factory standards and producing approximately 338bhp, paired with a six-speed manual transmission delivering power to the rear wheels
- Prior to the rebuild, the car was stripped down completely with the floor reinforced and the entire body resprayed in its original Titanium Silver Metallic by a BMW specialist
- Supplied with a full photographic log of the restoration, extensive detailed parts lists and invoices, the service history and more
- Arguably one of the finest M3 E46 examples available today, this car combines the celebrated S54 engine, desirable manual gearbox, and a striking colour combination—making it equally suited as a premium daily driver or a cherished collectible.
