2003 BMW M3 Convertible

Description

The BMW M3 convertible is a backroads burner that doubles as a fun day cruiser for four. So when you find a loaded 2003 example like this one with only 23K original miles on its 333 hp motor, you get to pretend it was your sensible side that bought it.

The M3 used to be about hiding aggression beneath an everyday commuter body, but this one doesn't do that job at all. The big, bold budge in the hood, wide fender flares, quad tailpipes, and of course, that Carbon Black Metallic paint, are all direct from the factory and they still look great today. It's an aggressive package that comes together to remind everyone that there's a Corvette killer within. Best of all, this future collectible is already off to the perfect survivor status by averaging a surprisingly low 1,800 miles annually. Furthermore, those interested in collectability will like the factory color-matching removable hard top. It not only has aesthetic benefits, but it also helps preserve the original power folding roof over the long run. In total, this is a sleek black package that still carries everything BMW engineered and assembled. The only time this car was altered was with a new set of wider tires on BBS wheels. It's a tasteful addition, and an easy one to correct for those who must have their M3 100% to factory spec.

A black leather interior is one of the best looking setups around, but on this car it has the added benefit of helping to bring out the luster in the Carbon Black exterior by comparison. There has been serious care over the last few years to make sure there are no tears in the seats, no cracks on the dashboard, no stains on the carpet, or anything else that would suggest this BMW was left out in the elements. This M3 comes loaded with features like cruise control, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, and a full AM/FM premium audio system with CD changer. You also can keep the top down any time of the year thanks to automatic climate control. All this modern luxury also means modern safety features such as dual front airbags, side airbags, and anti-lock brakes. But even with all these luxuries, you'll be reminded this is a true driver's car the moment you grab the three-spoke sports steering wheel (note the red and blue stitching in the leather) and let your hand fall perfectly onto the stick shift. The seats are extremely comfortable because BMW spends a lot of time in the engineering department to make sure that you can power adjust them to strike the perfect balance of keeping you planted during hard cornering, while also being comfortable enough to always take the long way home.

The 3.2-liter inline six cylinder motor is a marvel of engineering. BMW built it sing happily all the way up to 8,000 RPM, but it also has the sensibilities to drive the commute with ease. It's all up to you and how you want to row through the super-slick six-speed overdrive manual transmission. BMW is one of the best companies at engineering chassis, and so the fully independent suspension of the M3 has often been at the top of the enthusiast magazine's wish lists. Add this to four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and a near 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, and now you know why an M3 will always get respect on the road.

The BMW M3 is often a car you promised yourself one day, and if you act quick enough, this exceptionally well preserved convertible that even comes with the owner's manual can make your dream much more affordable than you ever hoped. Call today!!!
