The Appeal

The BMW E46 M3 is widely regarded as one of the great driver's cars of its generation. Its naturally aspirated 3.2-litre inline-six delivers a high-revving experience that continues to thrill even the most jaded motorist - and high-octane, involved driving dynamics only go further to cement its rightful modern classic status.

This 2003 example has been in the current owner's hands for approximately six years. They tell us that the car is a lovely, smooth drive, and it's certainly a smashing looker. A great example that's ready and waiting for its lucky new keeper.
