2005 BMW M3 Convertible (E46) Jet Black / Grey Nappa Leather 6-Speed Manual Clean, well-documented E46 M3 Convertible in classic Jet Black over grey Nappa leather with a black soft top. Currently at 78,916 miles with a clean Carfax and clean New Jersey title. The car is in great condition inside and out. The Jet Black paint presents well, the grey Nappa leather interior remains clean and intact, and the convertible top is in good shape. Besides regular wear, there is one known cosmetic flaw to note: there is a minor line of distorted pixels on the navigation display, which does not affect the car’s overall presentation or drivability.
This ask is running about $5,224 over the comparable average, so spec, provenance, and presentation need to justify the premium.
Photo coverage is reasonably deep at 6 images, which helps with judging cosmetics and seller transparency before leaving VINthusiast.
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.
