This E46-generation BMW M3 is a celebrated and involving modern classic performance hero, presented in a rare Individual colour scheme.
Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 3.2-litre ‘S54’ inline-six, delivering around 343PS to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
This example has originally been a German-market model, which was first registered in September 2002, but is now registered in France.
This E46-era M3 is believed to be one of only 23 left-hand drive examples specified in Silverstone Metallic, and one of fewer than 10 such examples fitted with the manual gearbox.
The odometer shows approximately 138,400 Kms from new.
EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES
The BMW Individual shade of Silverstone Metallic is complemented by a black ‘Walknappa’ leather-trimmed interior, featuring an Anthracite headlining.
It rides on a set of 19-inch ‘Style 67M’ diamond-cut forged alloy wheels, framing blue brake callipers and fitted with mixed Pirelli P Zero tyres.
Equipment includes xenon headlights, rear parking sensors, a Harman/Kardon sound system, electrically adjustable heated front seats with memory setting, switchable sport mode, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, and Dynamic Stability Control.
This example has been fitted with H&R shock absorbers, an Eisenmann exhaust silencer, and Phase-II taillights.
The car comes with two keys, an emergency key, a plastic key, the code card, the owner’s manuals with a black leather wallet, the stamped service booklet, the German registration document, some TÜV reports and maintenance invoices, and the approval certificate for the shock absorbers and silencer modifications.
The last maintenance was in February 2025 at 137,965 Kms by Garage Prainet, which consisted of a new connecting rod bearing being installed (with complete cleaning of the oil circuit in three cycles), new coils fitted, the spark plugs replaced, an engine oil change, all new filters, the accessory belt replaced, the VANOS system checked, an axle check, a new engine mount fitted, and the fluid levels checked.

CO2 efficiency according to the WLTP measurement procedure What is WLTP?
Since 1 September 2017, certain new cars have been type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Duty Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. From September 1, 2018, the WLRP will replace the new European driving cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption, power consumption and CO2 emission values measured according to the WLTP are in many cases higher and the ranges in many cases lower than those measured according to the NEDC. Currently, the NEDC values are still mandatory to communicate. In the case of new vehicles that are type-approved according to the WLTP, the above NEDC values are derived from the WLTP values below. These values correspond to your current configuration; if you change the equipment, these values may also change. From September 1, 2018, the vehicle tax will be calculated on the basis of the WLTP values determined.
