2006 BMW M3 Convertible – 6-Speed Manual Well-maintained and garage-kept 2006 BMW M3 Convertible equipped with the highly desirable 6-speed manual transmission. The vehicle has been meticulously cared for and serviced exclusively at the BMW dealership throughout its life. The “Big Three” maintenance items have been completed, providing peace of mind to the next owner. The car runs and drives exceptionally well and has been properly maintained with no expense spared. This M3 carries a rebuilt title due to an incident at the dealership where the vehicle was knocked off a lift. The damage was professionally repaired, and the car was completely repainted as part of the restoration process. Since the repairs, the vehicle has performed flawlessly and remains in excellent condition. A rare opportunity to own an iconic E46 M3 Convertible with a manual transmission at a great value.
This ask is running about $5,696 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.
