Testing waters: e46 BMW M3 - Laguna Seca Blue

I very much doubt anyone on here will be interested but here it is anyways!

I've been toying with the idea of getting a more responsible car now that I'm a full-time student again. I've owned the car for going on 2 years now. I'm the 3rd owner, it's a local BC car originally from Auto West BMW, and has never been in any accident of any kind. This is one of the most rare and desirable colour combos out there for the e46 M3. Most LSB M3's came with an unfortunate grey interior, and/or SMG tranny. It literally took me over a year to find the perfect M3 when I was shopping for one. I will sell the car stock, or I will also consider selling any of the parts with it for additional money. As it is the car runs and drives beautifully and needs nothing. It has been my daily driver for 8 months out of the year as it hasn't been winter driven (I have a truck for that).

I also have all stock parts available to give with the car If the buyer wants it with the mods.

Car basics:

2001 BMW M3 Coupe
-LSB (Laguna Seca Blue) exterior.
-Black leather interior.
-109k k's.
-6 speed manual (not SMG).
-No accidents, not a rebuild.
-Aircared until 2012.
-Bi-xenon auto leveling headlights.
-Automatic wipers.
-Sunroof.
-Power seats with adjustable lumbar.
-Cold weather package with heated seats.
-HK Premium audio.

Pricing:

Stock: $23,900
As is with all mods: $26,500

Mods:

Suspension/brakes: KW V2 coilovers, RE RSMs, Hotchkis sway bars, Axxis Ultimate pads.

Wheels: Enkei RPF1-19 (8.5 +38 front, 10 +25 rear) Pirelli Pzero Nero 245/275 tires.

Exterior: Blacked out Gills & Grills, Smoked Corners & Side Markers, LSB painted reflectors.

Interior: ZHP Weighted Knob, LeatherZ shift and ebrake boots.

Performance: Autosolutions short shift kit, RE tranny mounts, Supersprint section 1 with RE rasp pipes.

Note: Muffler installed in current pics is no longer installed. Running OEM muffler.

I will also consider part trades for cheaper cars. Specifically looking for an e36 M3, M Coupe, or regular e46. Must be 5spd. Might also consider other sporty cheaper cars.

blue interior AND 6spd. wow!
slap on some 2003.5+ LED tails and this is the ultimate M3

Just wondering how do you use Supersprint Section 1 with RE rasp pipe at the same time?

The RE resonators have been welded into the Supersprint pipes.

Interior pics?

I'll take some pretty soon here. Inside is in equally as great condition as the exterior.

I see your car every morning at BCIT and i always slow down as I pass it. Very nicely modded M3

Thanks, currently in the market for a Clean E46! but have yet to find the perferct one!

There absolutely is, and it`s right here. :thumbsup:

absolutely stunning ride man. black interior and a proper 6 speed!

this is one hell of a bargain everyone!

6 speed and black interior with Laguna Seca blue is an awesome combination. Glws.

Thanks guys! I've got a couple potential deals going on but if she ends up not selling I won't be upset, that's for sure. :)

Kind of decided to keep the car but I'd still consider selling it if the price is right. Bump.

Still considering it, but only if I get money on top. The only reason I'm considering selling is to get back into something less expensive.

Wow, I would buy this in a heartbeat if I had the funds. Best colour for an M3! Weekend warrior?

Great looking car. How long was it Supercharged for and hows the compression?

Thanks! I tried to drive it as much as I could in the summer but didn't get to use it as much as I would have liked since I have a truck I drove for work during the week.

Thanks. Compression was absolutely perfect before the SC was installed, and the exact same after it was removed. It was only on for around 4k k's, most of which was regular city driving around town.
