This 2003 BWW E46 M3 Coupe is finished in Silver Gray Metallic over a Black Nappa leather interior and features a 6-speed manual transmission paired with its S54 inline-six engine. It was produced during the latter half of the 2003 model year, receiving the same LCI update as the cars from 2004 onwards. Factory equipment includes a limited-slip differential, xenon headlights, heated power-adjustable sport seats, a power sunroof, and a Harman/Kardon sound system. Maintained by the original owner until 2023, this M3 Coupe is now being offered for auction out of Illinois with approximately 73k miles showing on the odometer.

Compared to a standard E46 3-Series Coupe, the M3 version features unique bumpers, flared wheel arches, front fender vents, a power dome hood, round aerodynamic mirrors, and quad exhaust outlets. This example is finished in Silver Gray Metallic and comes equipped with black Shadowline trim, xenon headlamps, fog lights, an electric sunroof, and new 19” CSL-style wheels dressed in Westlake tires from 2023. Additional images are provided in the gallery along with a clean one-owner CARFAX report.

The cabin is appointed with Black Nappa leather upholstery complemented by Brushed Aluminum Shadow trim and an Anthracite headliner. Accessories include heated and power-adjustable sport sets, a three-spoke M sport steering wheel, an M sport leather shift knob, M3-branded door sills, power windows and mirrors, automatic climate control, cruise control, M3-specific instrumentation, a Harman/Kardon sound system, and a BMW Business CD stereo. The seller reports all accessories and electronics are fully functional.

Rated at 333 HP and 262 lb.-ft of torque, the naturally aspirated 3.2-liter S54 inline-six engine features double-VANOS variable valve timing and individual throttle bodies. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The seller indicates the rod bearings and rear trailing arm bushings have been replaced, and the subframe has been inspected for cracks with no concerns found.

This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, and a clean title.

 

The seller would like you to know: “This is a rare 2003.5 M3! Its a 03 and a half example! This means it has the 04 rearview mirror, LED taillights, and all the LCI updates the 04+ models got! 1 owner example! Clean Carfax! True 6 speed manual! Rare Silver Grey Metallic/Black Nappa Leather! Original owner example and cared for!  Rod bearings done! Rear trailing arm bushings replaced! The subframe was inspected with no cracks or stress! The rear mirror was replaced! Brand new set of 19 style CSL wheels/ Brand new tires installed! Inspection II performed with valve adjustment!”

    Beautiful car and spec. Silver is the most underrated and one of the best colors on these cars. Probably too late to ask for more undercarriage pics, unless you have them already taken, since the car spent it's life up in the northeast.
