This 2002 BMW M3 convertible is a Steel Gray Metallic example that the seller acquired on BaT in October 2022 and now has 73k miles. It is powered by a 3.2-liter inline-six that has been modified with EVOMS engine management software, and the drivetrain is completed by a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The car rides on 19″ multi-spoke alloy wheels and is further equipped with H&R coilovers, a black convertible soft top, xenon headlights, Park Distance Control, automatic climate control, aftermarket speakers, and a factory-look head unit with Apple CarPlay capability as well as heated and power-adjustable front sport seats upholstered in Imola Red Nappa leather. Work following the seller’s acquisition included repainting the front bumper cover, adjusting the ride height, and replacing the valve cover gasket along with various interior trim pieces. This E46 M3 convertible is now offered with a window sticker, removed parts, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Steel Gray Metallic and features a black convertible soft top as well as xenon headlights, fog lights, Park Distance Control, and quad exhaust outlets. The front bumper cover was repainted following the seller’s acquisition to correct blemishes.
The 19″ multi-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2 A/S tires measuring 255/35 at each corner. H&R coilovers are in place, and under current ownership, the ride height was raised by 3/4″ up front and 3/8″ out back to prevent the tires from coming into contact with the fenders. The car was factory-equipped with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), and braking is provided by four-wheel ventilated discs.
The heated and power-adjustable front sport seats feature lumbar support and are upholstered in Imola Red Nappa leather that extends to the rear bench and portions of the door panels. A factory-look head unit with Apple CarPlay capability was installed under current ownership, and amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, MOMO pedal covers, aftermarket speakers, and carpeted floor mats with M3 embroidery. Various trim pieces were replaced and repairs were made to the front seat upholstery seams under current ownership.
The multi-function leather-wrapped steering wheel features M-color stitching and frames a 185-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a variable redline along with gauges for coolant temperature, oil temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 73k miles, less than 1k of which were added by the seller.
The 3.2-liter S54 inline-six is modified with Evolution Motorsports engine management software. The rod bearing recall service is said to have been performed in October 2004, and the double-VANOS system has been upgraded. The drive belt pulleys and tensioners were reportedly replaced at 68k miles, and the leak detection pump was replaced at 72k miles. The valve cover gasket was replaced under current ownership.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The differential and subframe mounts are said to have been replaced at 67k miles.
The window sticker shows initial delivery to Century BMW of Huntsville, Alabama, and lists factory colors, equipment, options, and a total suggested retail price of $58,745.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other damage.
