Recap —
This is an exceedingly desirable Competition Package E46 M3 in Interlagos Blue built in the last production year. This is best suited for someone who wants all of the best factory configuration boxes checked mates to a low-mileage largely original chassis. There are no leaks, no mechanical flaws, and while the VANOS, rod bearings, and RACP are original, this M3 has lived a gentle life driven sparingly and will need nothing for the foreseeable future. Cosmetically, the Interlagos Blue paint has no imperfections and the exterior rubber is flawless. The front bumper was resprayed to remedy standard road rash and remains original. It has been garaged since new and wore paint protection film for over half its life. Never abused, never tracked, and has been garaged since new. This E46 M3 is optioned with ZCP-specific aluminum hexagon interior trim, heated seats, PDC, Harmon Kardon audio with bluetooth functionality enabled by a Kenwood navigation and a seamlessly integrated backup camera. All interior functions work as intended – window regulators, door locks, electronics, gauge functions, seat and mirror movements. The Nappa Black interior leather is supple and matte, where the majority of interior plastics are free of any severe etching. Copacetic throughout and ready for any use case.
