2003 E46 M3 Race Car – 1125kgs

A rare opportunity to acquire a highly competitive, lightweight, high-specification E46 M3, built with all the right components and fully prepared for racing.

Purchased in late 2022, the car was professionally prepared by TN Racing in early 2023 and went on to compete in the 750MC BMW Car Club Racing Championship. During this period, it proved its pace and reliability with multiple class podiums and a class win.

Over the winter of 2023/2024, the car received further development by TN Racing to contest the CSCC Ramair BMW Championship. While limited race outings in 2024 and 2025 due to other commitments, the car has delivered outstanding results, finishing on the class podium at every event entered. Highlights include outright pole position at Snetterton 300 and a race victory at Silverstone.

The most recent outing was the BMW 3-Series Anniversary Race at Castle Combe, where the car qualified and finished an impressive second overall on a highly competitive grid.

This is a proven, front-running car with a strong pedigree, ready to be raced and enjoyed immediately.
