Representing the third generation of BMWs high-performance 3-Series model, the E46 remains one of the most celebrated M3s of all time. Finished in Interlagos Blue Metallic over full grey Nappa leather, this final-year example was ordered with the desirable Competition Package (ZCP), an option that equips cross-drilled brake rotors derived from the European-market M3 CSL, a specially tuned suspension, and Alcantara suede trim. Modified with 19” VMR wheels, this M3 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Maryland.
This M3 is finished in Interlagos Blue Metallic (A30) with Shadowline trim. Distinctive M3-specific features include wider fender flares, side air vents, aerodynamic wing mirrors, quad exhaust tips, and revised front and rear fascias. It rides on aftermarket 19” VMR wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires. The Carfax report indicates accidents in April 2006 and September 2006, along with minor damage details in October 2017 and May 2024, resulting in front and right corner collisions. The front and rear bumper covers are noted to have been refinished, and the rear quarter panel window trims were replaced in 2024. Additional images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin is upholstered in grey Nappa leather and features deeply bolstered 14-way power M-Sport seats with matching door panels and carpeting. Competition Package Milled-Effect Aluminum trim lines the dashboard, center console, and door panels. The Competition Package also provides a thickened Alcantara-wrapped multi-function M-Sport steering wheel along with a matching Anthracite headliner and handbrake lever. Standard features include a glass sunroof, pop-out rear quarter windows, and a Harmon Kardon hi-fi sound system.
Power comes from the venerable 3.2L S54 inline-six, which makes up to 333 HP and 269 lb.-ft of torque. The S54 utilizes motorsport-derived technology, including individual throttle bodies, quasi-dry sump lubrication, and double VANOS variable valve timing. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 6-speed SMG sequential transmission and a limited-slip differential. The Competition Package equips larger two-piece cross-drilled rotors, a reduced steering ratio, and an M Track Mode that raises the threshold in which the Dynamic Stability Control will intervene. The seller adds that the transmission fluid and differential fluid were changed. Additionally, the double-VANOS system was serviced along with the replacement of the rear differential mount in 2024.
This sale will include a clean title.

Every E46 M3 subframe crack statement is the dumbest statement I've ever heard
@LuxuryAutomax unless the rear end was taken apart the subframe is never really inspected, every single coupe suffers from hairline to catastrophic cracks...so vanos nor rod bearings have been done to your knowledge and no documentation on either?
that last service did sub frame inspection
No cracks
Vanis was fine previously
No records of rod bearings replaced, checked no issues
The 2005 m3 were not problematic
No origional wheels
Bid in the amount of $10,500
