Alpine White with Cinnamon leather interior. 6-speed manual (no SMG!). 58k miles. I searched forever for this car, and almost gave in on cheaper ones with gray or black interiors, but patience paid off. If for some reason you live under a rock and don't already know, this is an extremely rare combo. Great running car, needs nothing. I have all maintenance records since it was new, and all maintenance is up to date. Carfax report and full inspection by BMW are on hand. Car is located in northern New Jersey.
Options-
Cold weather package (heated seats, headlight washers, ski bag)
Harman Kardon stereo
6-disc CD changer
Brushed Aluminum trim
Bi-Xenon headlamps
Front and rear side airbags
Dealer installed security system with alarm
Extras-
19" VMR CSL wheels with brand new Hankook V12 Evos (255/35/19 - 285/30/19) -Less than 300 miles on tires
H&R Sport springs with Koni Adjustable Shocks - Less than 300 miles (installed same time as tires)
Tinted windows - Warranty until 10/2012 transferred to new owner
Major service performed a month ago including new filters, brakes, oil change, new OEM floor mats, new rear-view mirror, tie rod, wipers, and anything else that it needed while it was in. The entire cooling system was overhauled 10k miles ago including a new radiator and water pump. I have receipts and records for everything from BMW. No fluid leaks, no smoking, no weird noises, no rips in leather or soft top, etc. Everything works as it should. Never in an accident or any kind of body work. There was one dent on the rear bumper from backing into a tow hitch at less than 5mph that I had repaired but still needs to be painted, and a couple tiny door dings that you can't even see but can feel. Other than that, car is extremely clean and well cared for. Next service is at 75k miles. Passed NJ state inspection in October.
$23,000. Title in hand. No tire kickers please, and test drives will only be offered to serious individuals with funds established, no joy rides. Car is located in Northern New Jersey.












Short video of it running to show how quiet and smooth it runs, with no odd noises, valve ticking, vanos ticking, etc.

Thank you.
I have received a good amount of interest in buyers looking to purchase the car in the spring once everything is complete. This is probably what I will end up doing. I am still motivated to sell in its current condition before then so I can save the cost and hassle of storing the car for the chilly months, so if you are interested in making an offer for it now or have a question about the car, send me a private message.

Thanks. I also had a complete vehicle inspection (same thing as a PPI) performed at my local BMW dealer a couple weeks ago to see if the car needed anything. It passed with flying colors, and I have documentation of this to show any potential buyers. If you would like another one done with you present, I can arrange it at my local dealer. There is nothing to hide about the car, and I am willing to do whatever you'd like to make it a worry-free acquisition.

Thank you, at least you're honest. Some people make dumb offers and are completely serious and expect you to accept it, lol.
I personally would feel a lot more comfortable purchasing a car from somebody who wants a decent price instead of taking any offer just to get rid of it. I always wondered if people thought it was odd when they are able to get a car for less than its trade-in value. Do they not expect things to be seriously wrong with it? And then they buy the car, find that something very expensive needs to be repaired, and feel as they got duped. lol

Not looking for any trades. I just bought a new Honda Accord sedan last week and left the M3 in my garage in NJ for the winter. If anybody has cash in hand and wants the car, feel free to contact me.

Car is still available. Lots of flakers and dreamers. I attached a couple photos that I took for somebody a week ago who claimed he was "very serious" and then informed me that he has to sell his pickup truck first.
The picture in the original post was before the dent was repaired, this is how it sits now with just needing to be painted.
Price drop to $22,000 to move this out. This is an insane deal considering I have been offered to sell the Cinnamon interior for $2000 plus their black interior, and have been offered to sell the wheels for $1000 plus their OEM 19" wheels. Cash still talks! I'm willing to take more of a hit just to sell the car as it sits instead of going through the trouble of changing out parts just to make a few grand more.
I can also work in the travel costs to somebody who is considering flying in and driving it home. A member on here from Florida purchased my last 350Z that way and it was a very smooth transaction.

Thanks for all the interested via PM. Car is still available though. I am not looking for trades unless the deal is so good that I cannot possibly pass it by.
Please no stupid offers. There are only a few cars in the country with this color combo in a 6-speed, and I have maintained it meticulously. The tires that I just had mounted were over $1000 alone. This is a steal for the person who doesn't mind a few cosmetic imperfections to save a boat load of cash.

Thanks. The guy who picked up that Z got a great deal, I maintain my cars better than anyone else. The M3 is on a different planet though, that's the only way I can describe it. I always heard what people were saying about them, but was completely content with my Z's until I actually got a chance to drive one. It really is one of the most complete cars on the road. Between the power, handling, brakes, luxury, and overall feel of the car; I don't even know what I would compare it to. Anyone who has driven one knows what I'm talking about, and I hope they chime in so this doesn't sound like a shameless plug for the car, haha.
chris its joey who bought ur lmgt4s.. my best friend has an e46 m3 and i own an e39 m5 and ur absolutely right. words cant explain the way those cars drive and feel compared to a 350z or any japanese car.no offense to anybody (i own a 350z as well) but the feel and connection the m3 gives u is undescribable. power is simply enough and so linear... its great. if i hadnt just purchased my m5 id be all over this color combo.
