This 2004 BMW M3 coupe is one of a claimed 14 examples built for the North American market finished in BMW Individual Black Sapphire Metallic, and it is powered by a 3.2-liter inline-six linked to a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. It has a Dinan exhaust system, cold air intake, engine management software, and springs and is further equipped with 19″ M double-spoke wheels, Koni shocks, a sunroof, and xenon headlights. Navigation, Harman Kardon audio, automatic climate control, and heated front sport seats are other features. The car was previously listed on BaT in April 2022 and was later acquired by the seller. Subsequent work is said to have included replacing the intake, fuel pump assembly, fuel sender, starter motor, and engine mounts. This E46 M3 has 97k miles and is offered in Maryland with an owner’s manual, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean District of Columbia title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in BMW Individual Black Sapphire Metallic (475), and exterior features include Shadowline trim, a glass sunroof, xenon headlights, fog lights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, tinted windows, LED taillights, a trunk lid spoiler, and quad exhaust outlets. The front bumper cover, hood, fenders, and mirrors were refinished in 2022 to correct rock chips. The seller notes a blemish on the rear bumper cover.
The 19″ M double-spoke Style 67 wheels are mounted with 225/40 front and 255/35 rear Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

The digital odometer indicates 97k miles, approximately 1,700 of which were added under current ownership.
