SoCal 2003.5 M3, Titanium Slvr+Imola, Big 3 (+Cats) Complete, Reviewed by Doug DeMuro
VIN: WBSBL93453JR22208 THIS... is the only E46 M3 reviewed by Doug DeMuro—with over 1M views on YouTube—and one of the cleanest driver-quality examples you’ll find. Factory 6-speed, Titanium Silver Metallic over rare Imola Red leather, and 179k well-documented SoCal miles. All interior touch points have been refreshed with OEM parts and materials. With a build date of 03/01/2003, it’s one of the first ‘2003.5’ LCI cars to be produced, and no one ever believes the mileage. Time capsule... Extensive records, accident and issue free CarFax, and all the big-ticket items addressed recently: Rod Bearings, VANOS and both catalytic converters replaced @ 155k-162k mi, with subframe reinforcement having been done prior. OEM CSL 127 wheels wrapped in Michelin PilotSport 4S tires (2022 date codes). Blackstone oil analysis sheets provided on request, with valve cover gasket, adjustment and spark plugs performed recently. During my ownership, car was maintained by BMW of San Diego and Euro Auto Spot exclusively. Pre-Purchase Inspections are welcomed (at buyers expense). OEM+ Upgrades include reupholstered front seats in factory BMW leather, new headliner (March 25′), steering wheel leather+components, ZHP shift knob, Alcantara e-brake and shift boots, cupholders, sunglasses holder and various trim pieces (all OEM). BlueBus bluetooth connectivity with mic works great. PPF applied to front bumper and headlight trim, paint underneath is flawless. Car has been ceramic coated and maintained during my ownership. PDR performed to take out small dings, wheel finish is excellent with no curb rash. No broken buttons or dead pixels! Stock aside from CSL wheels and Morimoto fogs. Includes a binder of receipts and BMW dealer accessories. CA Registration paid through April 26’, and oil change performed ~200mi ago (Liqui Moly). This is a turn-key car—rare color combo with pampered mileage. Not a garage queen—but possibly the cleanest high-mileage E46 M3 out there. I simply need a more modern daily with added safety/space for my kid. $24,999 is OBO. Let's talk before I go to the national auction sites at no reserve.
