You are bidding on an Imola Red E46 2002 M3 VF supercharged convertible, with a 6 speed transmission and a matching detachable hardtop. Only 68,800 miles. Exceptionally well maintained. Clean title in hand. 2002 M3 Supercharged Dyno Pull Video will open in a new window [isdntekvideo] I purchased this car in mid-2012 (with 62K miles on it) and I am selling it because I simply don’t have the time to drive it. With teenagers in the house, and since it is time to buy a car for them, it is time to part ways. Since purchasing the car I’ve put a lot of upgrades and preventative maintenance into it. My loss is your gain. I’ll be very sad to see it go – but I’ll be glad when someone who appreciates the car will actually be out driving it. A few housekeeping items first: · You should have the cash necessary to buy (either in hand or available) before bidding. You will likely not be able to finance the car – please don’t bid if you are planning to finance. · If you want buy and ship I will work with you to arrange for pick-up, etc; however, full payment will be due before the shipping company arrives. I’d prefer if you actually drive it onto the shipping trailer. My distinct preference would obviously be a local buyer. I will work with you though to make the transaction happen. Obviously you pay shipping (if you choose to ship). · You can certainly have the car inspected (someone can visit my house to inspect it, or once we have a deal done and deposit paid, we can get it to local shop). As for particulars on the car: 2002 E46 M3 Convertible in Imola Red · Six speed manual transmission (NOT an SMG, and NOT an SMG to 6MT conversion) VF Engineering Supercharger (in Stage 2 trim) ($8900) · Matching BMW Hardtop in Imola Red + Wind Diffuser ($3200) o I have stored since I purchased the car, with the convertible top folded down it fits over the hard top attachment points. VMR 19” V710 Wheels ($1000) · 285/30R 19 Hancook Ventus V12 Evo K110 (Rear) + 245/35R 19 Hancook Ventus V12 Evo K110 (Front) Front and rear Brembo GT 4 piston BBK ($3155 front, $3595 rear = $6750) Hamann Exhaust ($4050) Hamann Catalytic Converter ($5000) Hamman Headers ($3800) Bilstein PSS Adjustable Suspension ($1990) Hamann Adjustable Cross-brace front ($1400) Hamman Aluminum Pedals ($475) Hamman Shift Knob ($185) Hamann e-brake Handle ($240) Alumapro BSW 10” Sub Systems ($600) Hamann Sideskirts ($1200) Hamann Rear Diffuser ($950) Xenon HID foglamps ($425) Carbon Fiber M3 fender inserts ($175) In addition to oil changes, regular servicing, coolant flushes, etc.) I have done the following: · Upgraded existing VF Engineering Supercharger kit o Purchased car with an existing VF Street Sport kit o Converted to a Stage2/VF570 through installation of a smaller supercharger pulley, DME, fuel pressure regulator, new belt tensioners, custom software, Stage 2/3 Bosch fuel injectors, etc. o Runs to 10psi of boost – car is very smooth on the street. Power delivery is extremely linear (as to be expected with a supercharger) · Replaced the guibo (was showing some cracking, chose to replace) Replaced inner tie rods · Installed HPF M3 Wideband and Boost Gauge Pods mounted to steering wheel column ($800) · Replaced the stock head unit with a Dynavin E46 D99 (GPS, Bluetooth, etc.) ($900) Installed a new color matched front splitter ($500) · Installed E46 Rear Chasis/Subframe Reinforcement Kit + all new rear bushings as part of the rear suspension mount package (from Turner Motorsports) ($2500) o I chose to install the reinforcement kit when I purchased the car, not because of any damage, but simply because I wanted to avoid any issues in the future. There was no cracking identified when the frame was dropped. o Made sense to do all the bushings when the frame was dropped anyway. Replaced coils and plugs · VANOS valve check and adjustment (shimmed where appropriate) Rear differential re-seal (small leak) The car is in excellent shape, especially considering its age, but you will of course find imperfections here and there. I have tried to accurately document the exterior and interior of the car in the pictures. As for known problems – I have one key fob and one spare slim line fob. The key fob no longer locks the driver door remotely (you have to manually insert and turn the key). A few small chips and dings here and there. The floor trunk liner is stained. One of the rear seats has a mark/indentation in it. The next “upgrade” I was going to undertake on the car was replacing the stock HK speakers – they are tinny at times (the Alumapro BSW 10” sub works great though). Car is offered AS-IS, WHERE-IS, without warranty of any kind. Happy Bidding! NOTE: A few folks have asked for dyno results. I don't regularly dyno, tune or (obviously) race the car. I would need to see if I can find the pull in the video (probably 18 months or so ago) - but I believe it was around 440HP/310lbft to the wheels. It is running the VF MAF less tune, I did not do a custom tune (and I think folks who run the same setup say that gets you another 15-20hp).On Oct-09-17 at 07:24:20 PDT, seller added the following information: Several people have asked, and I should have noted in the description - the rod bearing service action was completed on May 20, 2003.
