BMW M3 E46

Right, this isn’t just another BMW E46 M3 — this is the one people in the know quietly talk about.

Finished in what is unmistakably Alpine White with the absolutely wild and incredibly rare Laguna Seca Blue interior, this car sits in a league of its own. One of just two white E46 M3s ordered new in Ireland — and the only one specified with this interior. Try find another… you won’t.

Originally ordered as a personal car for Frank Keane himself, it doesn’t get a better provenance. A very well-known car within Irish BMW circles and the BMW Owners Club, having even been owned twice by a prominent club figure. That alone tells you everything.

Showing 101,000 miles and backed up by over 200 pages of service history, this isn’t a story car — it’s a documented one. It comes complete with 3 keys, all books, manuals, and the all-important running-in service carried out correctly.

Now, the important bit — the work.

Within the last 6,000 miles, this car has had over €20,000 spent at Classic Works, and not on fluff — on everything that matters:

* Rear boot floor professionally reinforced & welded
* Rod bearings replaced
* VANOS fully rebuilt
* New clutch fitted
* All oil leaks rectified
* Full suspension refresh (arms powder coated, bushes, etc.)
* Brakes overhauled (discs, pads, calipers, backing plates)
* Full underbody restoration

It has also just been freshly serviced, including valve clearances done — so it’s not due anything. Turn the key and enjoy it exactly as BMW intended.

The registration 01-D-30303 makes it even more special and finishes the car off perfectly.

We say this carefully — because we see a lot of them — but this is genuinely one of the very best E46 M3s we’ve ever had. The spec, the history, the ownership, the condition… it’s all there.
