Description
This is a rare opportunity to purchase an Imola Red, manual, BMW M3 Coupe, non-sunroof with 74, 000 miles.
Over £10, 000 has been spent in the last few months on mechanical and bodywork to bring it up to a very high standard.
Of the money spent, £6, 500 has been spent on mechanical work to answer all of the typical issues M3’s require and suffer from. Key items listed below:
Vanos Rebuild
Rob Bearings Replacement
Rear Subframe checked and is good condition with photo’s and report included.
Inspection 2 Service
Front and Rear Discs and pads
New Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres all around.
Diff Service
New Battery
New MOT
Bodywork that has been completed accounting for £3, 600 includes the following.
Paint roof gutters, wing mirrors, mouldings as required.
Carry out paint and lacquer blend to boot lid (behind handle).
Carry out paint to vehicle shell and blend with doors.
Replace both rear window gaskets (Under rear side windows)
Refinish rear window outer mechanism caps.
Carry out machine polish to the rest of the boot, roof and bonnet.
New internal Carbon Fibre wrap around dashboard and doors.
All 4 Alloys powder coated in Shadow Chrome finish.
New BMW OEM wheel centre caps.
The car comes with no prior service history due to this being lost with the last 2 owners, the last owner having had the car stored for 6 years without moving. The car does however show the mileage verification through a complete record of MOT’s from 2005 to 2024 and with a new HPi check in September 2024. The condition of the car reflects the mileage perfectly.
All recent mechanical and bodyshop invoices along with HPi and MOT history are available for any serious inquiry.
The mechanical work was carried out by a well-known BMW specialist in North Yorkshire called R. Elsworth and a call with him prior to purchase can be arranged for a serious buyer. The Imola Red paintwork really pops in any light and the new Shadow Chrome alloys are stunning with a greater contrast and resilience than the standard diamond cut finish. The new interior carbon 3M wrap around the dashboard, gear stick and arm rests perfectly finish off the inside of the car to match the front and rear seats which are in excellent original condition.
The biggest reason for buying this car really is going to be in the eye of the beholder. If you are looking at this advert then you probably already know this M3 is a rare example and with the amount of work that’s been carried out this is a car which should give the buyer many untroubled miles with plenty of smiles.
