Immaculate M3 SMG...

[funtime]

Shamelessly pasted from my Pistonheads advert If any of you boys fancy a nice daily

Regretful sale of my immaculate M3, the only reason for selling this is the recent purchase of an M3 CSL.

If you're looking for a cheap M3 just for the sake of owning one then I'd look elsewhere. If however you want an immaculate fully spec'd example that's been owned and maintained by people who can afford to give it the care it needs without cutting corners then read on.

This car has had thousands spent on it as you will see from the list of work below, I specifically wanted one that had all of the common problems sorted out so that I wouldn't have any surprises.

Yes, you can buy a 2002 with 80k miles for £10k, but you only need to replace the disc's and pads all round, or have an SMG pump fail, and you would have spent more than my asking price. This M3 wants for nothing...

Wheels/tyres:

18's -Ideally could do with a refurb, but do look tidy
18" front - 225/45/18 Continental M3 stamped tyre 6mm of tread
18" Rear - 255/40/18 Continental M3 stamped tyre 5mm of tread

19's -Fully refurbished professionally at great expense by Spit and Polish so these as as new
19" front - 225/40/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 2 5/6mm of tread
19" front - 255/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 2 5mm of tread

Bodywork:

Bodywork is outstanding, genuinely not a scratch on the car. Front has been resprayed at BMW to remove all stone-chips etc

Interior:

Again, excellent very little bolster wear and immaculate throughout. No scratches on the sat nav etc like many examples I've seen

As you can see the car is photographed with the 18" alloys on, the 19" polished alloys are away at Spit and Polish and have a full refub so they will be as new when they go with the car (wheels are back tomorrow 14/02/2011). I've always run the car on the 18" alloys as I think the ride is much nicer - maybe I'm just getting old!

I can honestly say you will not find a better example, I looked at 2005 examples when I brought mine - I didn't buy on price or mileage, just condition and maintenance. I paid the full asking price when I saw the car, as I knew it would save me thousands in the long run.

All documents present, I'll also issue a new HPI report for the buyer.

Car is priced to sell with 18's on, 19's available at additional cost.

I have a firm trade offer on the car, however I'd rather it went to a genuine buyer who will appreciate it for what it is and not a trader wanting to make a few quid.


Car is in Crawley for viewing

Price: £9,9990 with 18's £10,999 with new 19's
