Buyer-facing read on this listing

2002 BMW M3 Coupe, S54 3.2L Inline 6, FACTORY ORIGINAL 6-Speed This Imola Red E46 M3 features a factory 6 speed manual transmission which is hard to come by these days. Most manual M3s on the market have been converted over from SMG. Previous owner states this car has a brand new clutch and by the feel of the drive i can verify it holds and pulls very strong, Vanos was serviced two years ago along with a fresh set of rod bearings making this car bullet proof for years to come, No receipts have been furnished as proof just word of mouth . The subframe has not been reinforced but was inspected and it is 100% intact and solid. Car was inspected for any leaks or issues and it is leak free, drives like new and ready for a new home. Headliner is intact and not sagging, the passenger side door window trim is the only thing missing from this car so a new one will be required in the future. UPGRADES Car sits comfortable on a set of Megan Racing coilovers with Camber plates Factory ZCP wheels which have been discontinued by BMW and hard to come by a set for less than $3k CSL trunk aftermarket with that iconic duck tail look Wheel spacers front and rear to give the perfect fitment section 1 & 2 exhaust upgrades with stock muffler to eliminate drone and rasp but not too loud like most aftermarket mufflers Kenwood touch screen window Brand new Battery Brand new clutch

Price sits close to the current comparable average, so the decision will come down to condition, provenance, and how complete the file is.

Photo coverage is still thin at 1 image, so presentation quality is harder to judge without opening the source listing.

Documentation still reads thin here, so this is the kind of listing where invoice detail and specialist history should drive the next round of diligence.
