Seller descriptionShow

FOR SALE! We’re offering a beautiful 2004 BMW M3 convertible with just 72,000 miles for sale! This is your chance to own one of the most iconic BMW’s of all time (E46 M3 is arguably one of the best M3 platforms ever, certainly one of the most popular) and If you’ve been paying attention to the E46 M3 market recently you know it’s been as hot as the Imola red paint on this example! They’re getting expensive fast and there is no sign of the market settling so I had to pay up to get it… that means you do too if you want it. We’ve gone through it, it needs nothing. It’s not a “perfect show car” but it’s in really great shape for being 22 years old. It’s been enthusiast owned and you can tell the previous owner took good care of it. We recently serviced the car here at Driven SD and brought it back to where it needs to be to get it ready for its next owner. It runs and drives great, clean title, SMG car, BBS CH-R wheels, nothing not to like here. You don’t see many with low miles and I thought it was a special car… if you do too… let’s talk. I’m posting it at $29,000 to start, which I’m aware is high retail price for the car but you can’t touch these things in San Diego right now and I have a lot of money into it so business is business. If you love it that much, she’s available. I’m not going to lose money on it though (it’s “for sale” it’s not “on sale”) so if you want to make an offer on it, I’ll save top bids and consider negotiation after I’ve given everyone a chance to see it. If you want it now before it slips away to someone else, that’s my “you can drive it home today price”. Come check it out, it’s gorgeous!
