Used 2006 BMW M3 for sale in Cincinnati

Seller description

Imola Red Over Black, Competition Package Car With a 6-Speed Manual That Shows Just 18,952 Miles! When the E46 M3 went on sale in late 2000, it redefined the idea of a performance coupe- especially in the United States. If you know BMW history, you know the story about the US market E36 M3 and how it was significantly down on power and technology when compared to the European variants. Even still, buyers flocked to BMW dealerships to acquire the E36 M3 and showed the executives that there was a serious appetite in the United States for a high performance coupe. In light of this, when the new E46 generation went on sale, it was essentially the same car that was offered around the world. This meant that US buyers received the thrilling individual throttle body motor, dual VANOS and 6-speed manual that were all held back with the E36. This 2006 BMW M3 is from the final year of production and was sold new through Paul Miller BMW in Wayne, New Jersey, in June of 2006. Finished in Imola Red over black leather, this car is fitted with the desirable Competition Package but remains largely unmodified. At the time of cataloging, the car shows just 18,952 miles, which is truly remarkable given the age, and presents as you would expect for a car with such little use over the years. The most immediate tip-off that the car is equipped with the Competition Pack are the stunning 19 split-spoke wheels, which give the vehicle a distinct motorsport look. The black leather interior is also in exceptional condition and was extremely well specified when new, with nearly every option box checked. This means that in addition to the Competition Pack, it is fitted with the Cold Weather package, upgraded sound system, and onboard navigation. Something to always check for with E46 M3 Comps, is the steering wheel - one of the features of the package was a de-contented steering wheel that is wrapped in Alcantara. If improperly cared for, this wheel will begin to look matted pretty quickly, so when you see an example like the one in this car that could be mistaken for brand new, you know it has been well cared for. Undoubtedly, the S54 found in the E46 M3 is one of the best inline-6s ever produced by BMW. With dual overhead cams, individual throttle bodies, and VANOS on the intake and exhaust cams, the S54 feels like a proper motorsport engine in the high revs, but that maintains the ability to be happily used around town as well. When paired with a solid-feeling 6-speed manual gearbox, offering great shift action, this really is the ultimate way to enjoy the M3s sublime powerplant. While under our care, we performed our standard list of checks, including inspecting the VANOS, rear subframe, and multi-point mechanical inspection while carrying out our rejuvenation. For us at EAG, the E46 M3 feels the most like the successor to the first E30, with its exciting, buzzy engine and sharp handling characteristics. This example definitely checks a lot of boxes for us, presented in a great color combination and fitted from the factory with the awesome Competition Package. This is really the one to have in our eyes.[!@@Additional Info@@!]Rear Spoiler, Air Filtration, Armrests - Rear Folding, Cargo Area Floor Mat, Center Console Trim - Alloy, Dash Trim - Alloy, Door Trim - Alloy, Floor Mat Material - Carpet, Floor Mats - Front, Floor Mats - Rear, Front Air Conditioning - Automatic Climate Control, Shift Knob Trim - Leather, Steering Wheel Trim - Leather, Cargo Area Light, Center Console - Front Console With Storage, Cruise Control, Cupholders - Front, Multi-Function Remote - Keyless Entry, Multi-Function Remote - Trunk Release, Power Outlet(S) - Front, Power Steering, Reading Lights - Front, Rearview Mirror - Auto-Dimming, Steering Wheel - Tilt And Telescopic, Steering Wheel Mounted Controls - Audio, Steering Wheel Mounted Controls - Cruise Control, Storage - Cargo Tie-Down Anchors And Hooks, Storage - Door Pockets, Front Brake Type - Ventilated Disc, Front Struts - Macpherson, Front Suspension Type - Double Ball Joint, Rear Brake Type - Ventilated Disc, Abs - 4-Wheel, Braking Assist, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Front Stabilizer Bar, Front Suspension Classification - Independent, Limited Slip Differential - Rear, Rear Stabilizer Bar, Rear Suspension Classification - Independent, Rear Suspension Type - Multi-Link, Stability Control, Traction Control, Gauge - Tachometer, In-Dash Cd - Mp3 Playback, Clock, External Temperature Display, In-Dash Cd - Single Disc, Radio - Am/Fm, Radio Data System, Subwoofer - 1, Trip Odometer, Warnings And Reminders - Low Fuel Level, Daytime Running Lights, Front Fog Lights, Headlights - Auto Delay Off, Headlights - Auto On/Off, Taillights - Adaptive, Tire Type - Performance, Wheel Diameter - 18 Inch, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Power Windows - Remotely Operated, Window Defogger - Rear, Front Wipers - Intermittent, Front Wipers - Rain Sensing, Heated Windshield Washer Jets, Airbag Deactivation - Occupant Sensing Passenger, Anti-Theft System - Vehicle Immobilizer, Child Seat Anchors, Emergency Interior Trunk Release, Front Airbags - Dual, Power Door Locks, Side Airbags - Front, Side Curtain Airbags - Front, Side Mirror Adjustments - Power, Side Mirrors - Auto-Dimming, Side Mirrors - Heated, Driver Seat Manual Adjustments - 8, Front Headrests - 2, Front Headrests - Adjustable, Front Seat Type - Sport Bucket, Passenger Seat Manual Adjustments, Rear Seat Folding - Split, Rear Seat Type - Bench, Rear Seatbelts - Center 3-Point, Seatbelt Force Limiters, Seatbelt Pretensioners, Upholstery - Premium Leather
