Arguably the best sounding and best handling BMW M3s yet made, the E46 generation debuted at the March 2000 Geneva Salon. Styled by Ulf Weidhase, the newcomer was a deft blend of aggression and subtlety. Available in Coupe or Convertible guises, the E46 M3 was powered by a 3.2 litre DOHC straight-six engine allied to Getrag manual transmission. Interestingly, the latter could be specified with either a conventional or electro-hydraulically actuated clutch. Dubbed ‘SMG-II’ when shorn of a third pedal, it proved to be the fastest shifting gearbox in the world. Credited with developing some 343bhp and 269lbft of torque, the BMW was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and 155mph (limited). According to the M Registry, 13,052 Coupes and 7,234 Convertibles were built to RHD Euro-spec.
First registered on 29th October 2004, this M3 was ordered finished in the handsome combination of Carbon Schwarz Metallic with Black leather upholstery and a matching soft-top. Delivered new to H R Owen Chelsea confirmed by the BMW group printout that accompanies the car, the interior luxury includes heated electrically operated front seats, AC, a radio with Harman Kardon speakers and Bluetooth. Sending power to the road through CSL-style alloy wheels finished in Gloss Black, the M3 displays a mileage of some 81,800. Offered with an owner's wallet, handbook and replacement service book, there's a current V5C Registration Document, a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates.
