This E46-generation BMW M3 is a celebrated and exciting modern classic performance hero, enhanced with several choice upgrades. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 3.2-litre ‘S54’ inline-six with a performance tune, now delivering a reported 275kW to the rear wheels, via a six-speed SMG-II automated manual transmission with paddle shift. This original Australian-market model was first registered in November 2003 and has been with the seller and the reported third owner for the past 11 years. The odometer shows 151,929 km. This E46-era M3 is finished in the desirable shade of Diamond Black, over a black leather-trimmed interior, featuring embossed ‘M’ emblems on the front headrests, and brushed aluminium-effect and chrome trim. It now rides on a set of 18-inch BMW E92 M3-sourced ‘Style 219M’ multi-spoke alloy wheels – a wider rim than standard E46 options – fitted with Michelin tyres. Equipment includes bi-xenon headlights, rear parking sensors, a top-tinted windscreen, cruise control, Dynamic Stability Control, switchable sport mode, automatic air conditioning, a Harman/Kardon sound system, an electric sunroof, and electrically adjustable front seats with three-position driver memory. This example has been enhanced with a touchscreen double-DIN Kenwood media system with a reversing camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and Apple CarPlay, a performance tune, an SMG gearbox tune, and CSL-specification front brake discs and pads. The car comes with three keys, a tyre compressor, the stamped service booklet, all the owner’s manuals in a black leather wallet, the PPF warranty information, maintenance invoices, and a dyno printout. The seller notes previous minor front corner damage caused by a merging SUV. The front right-hand wing, the bonnet, the headlights and the front bumper were reportedly replaced and resprayed. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: there is some wear on the driver’s seat bolster, and the A-pillar fabric trims have been removed but will be provided for re-application; the door mirror adjustment is not working. 3M Gloss 100 Series paint protection film has been fitted to all panels forward of the windscreen. The most recent roadworthiness test was on 29 October 2025, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass.

Another engine oil service was performed in November 2022 at 148,030 km by Bimmer Tech, which also included a brake fluid change.
