BMW has accomplished some extraordinary things with its M series throughout the years. Under their hoods, they conceal fearsome engines that punch power like a racecar. Nevertheless, they go beyond out-and-out performance. The 2004 BMW M3 that we have here is the ideal demonstration of this. First off, being a convertible, you already know it's a spectacular piece of kit you can enjoy on a sunny weekend. Yet, this grip-happy and flexible German hunk of engineering is enough to scare a number of supercars from its time. It is currently for sale in Pennsylvania, and so far, it has traveled 46,300 miles. We can bet that this will become one of your all-time favorites.

Exterior and Interior

It is accepted wisdom that BMWs produce some of the most breathtakingly beautiful cars. Our 2004 BMW M3 is finished in a rare Phoenix Gold Color to enhance its gorgeous looks. The M3 drop-top is up 160kg from the M3 coupe thanks to the mix of an automated folding soft-top and chassis strengthening. It takes 22 seconds to operate this black canvas roof. The current owner of this M3 reported a front-end alignment and new Continental Extreme Contact tires. The interior comforts of the 2004 BMW M3 can't really be faulted. It's got black leather bespoke seats, a multifunction steering wheel, and plenty of tech toys from its era to play with. M stitching can be seen on the steering wheel as well. Among the niceties is the Harmon/Kardon Sound System that will take care of all your audio needs, aside from the unequaled exhaust note, of course. This sumptuous interior provides space for four adults.

Engine

This high-performance motorsport creation boasts a 3.2-liter inline-6 engine that belts out 333hp at a screaming 7,900 rpm and 262 lb-ft of torque at 4900 rpm. What are the consequences? You'll need to brace yourself to hit 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. This engine employs a 6-speed manual gearbox—an increasingly scarce commodity—that sends all power to the rear wheels. According to its owner, this M3 has also received a recent oil change.
