2003 Alpine White / Imola Red BMW M3 (No Sunroof and Manual Seats!) Los Angeles 310 Area SOLD! SMG Transmission, Alpine white exterior with Imola Red Leather / Titanium interior trim. No Options Car - Just SMG with required PDC (Park Distance Control) 68,xxx miles Non-daily driver, average 9,000 miles per year. Car is in excellent condition, driven so there are a few rock chips, scratches on the bottom front bumper, scratch on back bumper was touch up with OEM touch up paint. Small chip on right front fender. Rest of the car is very clean, with 1 small ding that will be fixed by Paintless Dent Removal prior to selling. Clean title: Clean Carfax I am the 2nd owner, original owner bought it as a ordered Euro Delivery car and was serviced routinely. South Bay BMW has the paper trail of the car, I followed up with my receipts as well. SMG Pump primes extremely strong and no issues with gear changes. For those not familiar with SMG, SMG is a Sequential Manual Gearbox and is NOT a standard Automatic transmission, it utilized the same tranny as the 6MT including a real clutch, but software and hydraulics engage and disengage the clutch for you, shifting is done via steering wheel mounted pedals. (ie Porschse PDK, Ferrari F1, Nissan GT-R DCT,). It does have an automatic setting but again this isn't a True Automatic Car like Tip Tronic which uses torque convertors. SMG allows the driver to shift gears in split mili seconds not possible by human. Total joy to drive.

I believe the car is priced fairly it is a very sought after combination being Alpine White with Imola Red Interior and being one of the lightest configurations available with no sunroof and manual seats, no HID, No cold weather, no heated seats. It is a no frills M3, the way many performance car enthusiasts prefer them and in my humble opinion the way an M3 should be made. It is a car going on 8 years old, has a timeless design and is probably one of BMW's best designed cars. The car is used, so the car isn't a perfect showroom car, but any flaws are very minor. it has been a pleasure to drive and extemely reliable. I have learned as much as I can about this car and took pride and interest in this car to keep up its functionality, appearance and maintenace. I am sure you will be happy with the overall condition of this piece of Great German engineering. Price: $22,900 firm If you have real interest PM me.
Good lord your car is nice Daniel! I thought about trying to find an E46 M5 before the rawr, but for $12,000 all you can get is over 140,000 kms. Could'nt do it.
