Up for grabs on another gorgeous New England day was this 2004 E46 M3; a truly timeless vehicle design. This particular owner had the full "Euro Delivery" treatment and in turn this car has been maxed out on the Autobahn and lapped the Nurburgring many times :D. Being the owner has another vehicle as his daily, this car has just shy of 10k miles.



Given the overall "clean" appearance of everything, my goal was to take every aspect to the next level. I spent a large amount of time attacking every panel, seam, and crevice from all angles. In the end, the owner and I were very happy with the results.
