BMW M3

CS manual

05/2006 BMW M3 CS, one of the very last of the E46 range manufactured, in excellent condition. Imported from the USA in 2017, now registered/ matriculated in Spain. A rare CS example, fitted from the factory with the 6 speed manual gearbox, the vast majority came with the SMGII automatic box. The car is finished in the very rare colour 'Imola Red' (405/3), over a full black leather interior with an Alcantara wrapped steering wheel and aluminium dash inlays.
Equipment includes an electric glass sunroof, electrically adjustable and heated seats with memory function, the Professional navigation system configured to the EU, the Harman/Kardon premium audio system, bi xenon headlights with automatic operation and cleaning function, Park Distance Control (PDC), automatic air conditioning, rain-sensing windscreen wipers, Dynamic Stability Control, a BMW original illuminated leather shifter with a shorter throw, as well as the extremely rare ‘S415A’- option electric rear sun shade.
Modifications include a TTFS retuned ECU, Turner Motorsport underdrive pulleys, a Mishimoto high performance aluminium radiator, braided brake hoses, aluminium peddles and a European-specification original M3 exhaust. The engine bay is crowned with a BMW motorsport sourced carbon fibre wrapped titanium tower brace. The engine has been fitted with a VANOS rebuild/upgrade kit from BeisanSystems complete with upgraided hardware. The gearbox and engine have been fitted with Rogue Engineering mounts and the rear trailing arm bushings replaced with Powerflex composite pieces. This has given the car highly uprated handling, which feels the same or better than new. An Aux input (3.5mm jack) has been added to the audio system with the connector located in the glove box. *Almost all the original parts are boxed and included in the sale.
Although the original service booklet was lost, there is a large file included, that details the car's life since new by way of official service and sales receipts. I have had her serviced twice in Spain, most recently at BMW in April of this year. I also had a presale inspection carried out by their technicians at this time, which found no issues mechanically and confirmed the car has never been in a serious accident. A CarFax report is also available which shows the car's life in the USA in great detail. Between the CarFax report and large receipt file included in the sale, there is a record of 17 maintenance records over 18 years. All servicing has been carried out at official BMW service centres. It is also stated in the CARFAX report that all vehicle recalls for this model have been carried out on this car. The Carfax report and all servicing receipts are available upon request.
