Our take: this thing is a monster, one of the cleanest HPF turbo E46 M3’s we have seen. It has all the goods… even that electric cutout – nice touch. More from the owner below, head over to M3 Forum to see the full thread.
2004 BMW M3
50,400 miles. PDC. Heated seats. Sunroof. Navigation. Silver grey with black interior. Fold down rear seats. Original dove grey interior car converted over to black. No accident history. Clean title.
Car is located in Maryland.
Original Asking price: $39,500 obo
UPDATE: $34,500 obo
I have priced this car aggressively considering I am pulling off a few the modifications. This helps a potential buyer save money on the entry cost and then add wheels or suspension as they see fit, but these items could also be negotiated in for the right price.
This motor build, turbo system and AEM infinity stand alone could not be duplicated for the price of this car. I have receipts of over $15k from Lab22 for the AEM Infinity install, tune and Radium upgrades and over $30k from HPF for the built motor and turbo kit . If a turbo m3 is what you are after, this car is a screaming deal! Car looks stock yet makes a very conservatively tuned 730 whp on e85. Could easily make more with a bigger fuel system.
