All the work listed above has been documented with receipts and progress pictures for the underside restoration work, paint

The folder and photo data stick with this car is an extensive history showing how the car has been cared for in my ownership.

Always used genuine BMW/ OEM parts where I can.

The car has been serviced and mechanically looked after by M-Kraft of Coltishall. M-Kraft build M cars, race M cars and set up M Cars, James the owner set up my M3 both mechanically and for the road.

Bodywork -

Very good condition, the car has just had a professional detail.

In 2018 the car had some paint correction work carried out, the two front wings were removed media blasted and zinc treated prior to repaint the bonnet and front bumper was also repainted, all the paint work was blended in.

New side wing grills and front grills

During the underside restoration work any rust/corrosion was wired brush back, zinc primed, undercoated with rust protector and painted in a silver finish.

Everything was removed to allow for the Redish reinforcing plate kit to be installed, all the components were removed, cleaned and repainted before being poly bushed and replaced, this process was done front and rear.

Interior -

The interior of the car complements the outside and is in excellent condition, heated electric red leather seats, air conditioning and all the usual extras that you’d expect.

Sound system head unit has been replaced with a touch screen head unit with apple car play and android auto etc, the Harmon Kardon system still works.

The original head unit is still available but has a few pixels out so requires a repair which I was going to do if I kept the car, I like original and have tried to keep the car as original as I can.

This is a well loved and cared for car that’s been in my ownership since late 2016 so for the last 9 years I have given the car what it needs without fear of cost.

Toolbox, first aid kit and torch all present.

The SMG Gearbox feels nice and tight and runs the CSL software, which gives an excellent driving experience.

Engine’s very healthy, brakes are good, suspension is very well set up and you can really feel the road when steering into bends etc.

The exhaust sounds as you’d expect from straight six running through a S/S system and Scorpion quad back box. The exhaust has a beautiful base sound from cold start.

If you’re in the market for an E46 M3 don’t miss this one you’re going to love it as I do.
