Description:

This exceptional 2002 BMW M3 E46 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a professionally built, low-mileage track day weapon. Originally an Individual Estoril Blue SMG M3 with main dealer service history, this car was transformed into a serious track tool in 2010 by FREDSLUNDS in Denmark when it had just 48,000 miles on the clock.

The current owner purchased the car in June 2022 and has comprehensively updated it to an exceptionally high standard. The engine has been fully refreshed by the renowned specialists at Jtech in February 2025, with only 300 miles covered since. The interior has been professionally rebuilt, and the car has performed faultlessly at Brands GP and Goodwood.

This is not a budget build cobbled together on someone's driveway - it's a properly engineered, professionally built track car that could easily compete in series like 750 Club Enduro, or continue as an exceptional drive-to-circuit track day car. The low mileage also makes it a viable candidate for restoration to road specification.

• Rare low mileage track-focused BMW M3 E46 in iconic Estoril Blue
• Only 59,537 miles, with just 48,000 miles when converted to race specification in 2010
• Professionally built track weapon with full FIA cage by Custom Cages
• Engine fully refreshed by Jtech in February 2025 (only 300 miles since refresh)
• Extensive professional modifications including Alcon brakes, Bilstein PSS10 suspension
• Race-proven in Denmark and multiple UK circuits (Nürburgring, Spa, Brands GP, Goodwood)
• Rust-free condition - mostly kept inside for the last 12 years
• Current MOT valid until 07.04.2026
• Can easily be returned to race spec or remain as drive-to-circuit track day car

Timeline

Original Specification: UK-delivered Individual Estoril Blue SMG M3 with main dealer service history up to 29,000 miles in 2007.

2007-2009: MOT records show the car reached 38,000 miles by the 2009 MOT.

2010: Professionally converted to race specification by FREDSLUNDS in Denmark at approximately 48,000 miles. Full FIA cage installation documented with photos available online.

December 2012: Returned to England with valid MOT showing 47,000 miles. The majority of mileage between 2009-2012 believed to be pre-conversion or during racing in Denmark.

2012-2014: Owned by enthusiast in Islington who used the car sparingly for track days at Spa and Nürburgring (majority of miles were drive-to-circuit journeys).

Mid-2010s: Believed to have been owned by a circuit-focused driver involved with Mission Motorsport.

Early 2020: Purchased by owner in Somerset who completed one track day at Thruxton before deciding the car was too capable for his experience level.

Late 2020-June 2022: Previous owner period with excellent storage and minimal use.

June 2022-Present: Current owner invested significantly in comprehensive updates including:

• Complete engine refresh by Jtech (February 2025)
• Professional interior rebuild to correct previous modifications
• Alcon front brake upgrade
• Successful track days at Brands GP and Goodwood with faultless performance

This 2002 BMW M3 E46 represents an exceptionally rare find - a professionally built track car with genuine low mileage, comprehensive recent mechanical refresh, and the potential to be used in multiple ways:

• Drive-to-Circuit Track Day Car: Current configuration with MOT and road legality
• Club Racing: Easily converted to full race spec (fire system and power isolation required)
• Road Car Restoration: Low mileage makes it viable for return to road specification

The combination of low mileage (59,537 miles), professional build quality, recent comprehensive mechanical refresh, and proven track performance makes this an outstanding value proposition at £32,000. This is not a compromised build - it's a properly engineered track weapon built by specialists and maintained to the highest standards.

The car comes with significant additional weight reduction potential, a spare BMW Motorsport 5-speed gearbox available separately, and a full Milltek exhaust system with appropriate ECU map.
