Default FS or FT: 2003.5 E46 M3 vert - Phoenix Yellow on Kiwi Green int w/ few tasteful mods

Hey guys,

Been a member here for a while. I have since migrated to BMWs and also own a Z4MC, but I just moved so I let my dad keep it back in Winnipeg. I brought my M3 out to Calgary with me, but don't really drive it because I work up north in the oil sands for 20+ days a month. Plus, don't REALLY need two ///M cars right now I wanna get into a less expensive car for daily/winter purposes. The MC isn't going anywhere, though...

I will DEFINITELY entertain trades for any TASTEFULLY modified cars. A supercharged RSX-S, swapped EP3, TL Type-S, RL SH-AWD, etc. is what I'm looking to get into.

I hope it's ok that I post my M3 for sale here. If it's not, thanks anyway and sorry for not reading the rules meticulously enough. Anyway, about the car:

03.5 M3 Convertible (03.5 means that it has LED tail lights, to my understanding)
- I am the 2nd owner. Original owner custom ordered the car from Birchwood BMW in Winnipeg, MB and rarely drove it.
- 79,xxx kms currently, but will increase as I do drive it when I'm in town.
- 3.2L Inline 6-cylinder S54 M engine: 333hp, 262 ft./lb. torque
- SMG II transmission: 6 speed manual with hydraulically operated gears and computer-controlled clutch.
- absolutely NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER with motor and transmission.. ALL recalls and warranty work performed, and throws absolutely no engine/transmission codes
- rare Phoenix Yellow exterior in 8/10 condition
- VERY rare Kiwi Green interior in 7/10 condition, but I'm picky. I can't stress enough how rare this is.. lol

very small list of modifications:
- brand new H&R Sport lowering springs
- exterior modifications include: matte black grilles and side gills, colour-matched front reflectors, smoked side markers w/ LED chrome bulbs
- 18x9.5 +35 / 18x10.5 +22 Volk TE-37 shod in brand new (<2500 kms) Nitto NT-05 245/40/18 & 275/35/18
- authentic Racing Dynamics exhaust
- brand new Rogue Engineering Rear Trailing Arm Bushings (RTABs)
- brand new Rogue Engineering heavy duty rebuildable Rear Shock Mounts (RSMs) w/ convertible-specific reinforcement plates
- brand new battery
- fresh oil change
- brand new Pioneer DEH-P8400 deck w/ sirius and iPod integration (comes with original deck too)
- fresh, current safety

Car is located in Calgary, AB, Canada. $22,500 CAD obo

I'm a very busy person (aren't we all) so I'm asking very respectfully to only demonstrate interest if you are in the position to seriously consider my car. I haven't had time to do the few little tiny things that it needs, and it's killing me. I'm only off for 4 days at a time, and 2 of those 4 are Saturday and Sunday, meaning during business hours, I can't usually get done what I need to. The "little things" are the antenna base needs replacing (on rear driver quarter) because I was trying to twist off the stock one, and it snapped (was heavily corroded). The car comes with a BNIB BMW shorty antenna. Also, the right side e-brake cable only grabs intermittently.

Otherwise, the car drives very well, has just had an alignment, sounds awesome and the paint shines beautifully. Hopefully someone will appreciate the rarity of this colour combination, even if the car does need a tiny bit of TLC.

Thanks,

Zac

PICS:

First, my Z4MC with the TEs on stock suspension:


Now, the M3, all taped up for the drive to Calgary:




Dirty after a rain and no blacked out kidneys, fender gills, or colour matched reflectors installed yet:



In the shop at Honda where I worked until very recently, where it was washed and dried every day after work:


Next to my buddy Kenton's 822rwhp Stg 2.75 HPF Turbo monster...


Rear wheel fitment.. should have gone 285/35/18:


And just for fun and because I miss it now, my old 335i on 19" Work XSA 02C and Eibach coils:

Yup! It's a bit heavier but still no slouch at all. A lot of people don't like the SMG II but I love it. It's so comfortable to drive every day, and I never use the Auto mode. Rev matching downshifts is awesome with the exhaust on there :D

Thanks for the bump!
