E46 Coupe B3 S #004

Post by Bob » Thu Sep 12, 2019 10:18 am

This one is back for sale, only done 500miles in the last year and a healthy £3.5k price rise from the last advert.

Not seen the service book images before, I know it's a long time ago but between Jul-03 & Nov-03 it did 16k miles apparently. Must be Km's! :lol:

Does anyone know this car or its history?

I've been asked by a customer to find out more about it and potentially do a pre purchase inspection.

Spoke to the seller and he has no records of it having a head gasket, gearbox work or any suspension work.

Have you tried asking Kees at the Archive, he may have a previous owner or some bits of history?

After doing some digging at about 72k miles then engine was sent back to Alpina for a full rebuild, a new torque converter and rear silencer all done under warranty by a BMW dealer.

Its now on ebay,

That seems a good price. I wonder if the HG and suspension are still original or have been replaced with OEM?

I do like that a lot. Really well priced and MOT history is nothing drastic!
