    2002 Carbon Black M3

    Fully loaded, low mileage E46 M3 in excellent condition. To be totally honest, this is now getting almost no use, and as much as I'd like to keep it for the occasional spin, common sense dictates I should probably sell it. That said, I have no urgent need to sell, I personally think its priced fairly, and have no other purchase lined up.

    I will consider trades as well though - as I probably need something to have as an occasional daily (bear in mind I currenlty have 4 cars, and I've done approx 250 miles driving in two months - so its not the preferred option)

    The car is running perfectly, all in all its more reliable than any other car I've had - including a raft of Hondas.

    Well, if someone is looking for one, there it is, they're not going to find a better one.

    That line is used too loosely these days on ads, but is totally appropriate for Ken's M3. It is a total credit to his OCD and how he maintains his garage Fact he has had it 8 years as only the 2nd owner is worth money in itself. The car is an absolute gem.

    Would have no problem what so ever buying this if I was in the market, I know the car years and would be totally confident it has been kept up to and above a high standard.

    Best of luck Ken, it's a cracker.

    As said if somebody is looking for a clean E46 M3 its this

    RE: 2002 Carbon Black M3

    Thanks for the compliments gents. It is a car I genuinely love, but with it seeing less and less use its been on my mind for a while to sell. Main reason for me not pushing a sale previously was that there is very little on the market I could replace it with which would feel like an improvement - unless veering into supercar territory.

    Funnilly enough though, the concept of not replacing it at all kind of clarified things a little! If the E30 finds a home before this though, its a keeper for a while longer anyway.
