WTB: BMW M3 (E46 platform)

Hi as the subject line says I'm looking for a used BMW M3 coupe (E46 platform).
I would prefer a facelifted manual version, so preferably 2005-2006 model year, but I am flexible on both the model years as well as transmission.

If the car isn't in a good shape I intend to restore it so I don't really mind what condition or colour the car is in. :)
Price is negotiable depending on the condition of the car.

To summarise, any coupe M3 from 2001-2006 is welcome though the newer the better. Manual gearbox is preferred but not necessary.

Thanks :)

Yes haha, you have a good memory.
How are you? Still driving the m3?

I won't go for the cabriolet unfortunately. Thanks for the link though.
As for why the E46? I owned a manual E46 330Ci in the states several years back and loved it, so when I returned to SG I went for the E92 M3. As everyone was so full of praise for the DCT I gave it a try... and hated it. That is not to mention:
- They lost the central rear seat for a useless storage compartment
- The steering is lifeless and I hate that
- Rear access is easier in the E46 as the seats are manually hinged even with power seats.
- Personally I prefer the looks of the E46
The E92 is great (and faster) but ultimately I just like the E46 more. Given that it would be cheaper to restore an E46, it doesn't make sense to go with the more expensive E92 which I like less.

And as to why not something else, my ingredients for an ideal is rather simple, RWD, NA engine, high red line, manual gearbox, practical boot and useable rear seats. This is something that I don't see in any new car at the moment. :(

Great choice. Not many left in Sg thou. I know 1 or 2 owners that still drives the e46m3 manual. Good luck with the quest.
