Registered new 12th March 2003 to Mr Beatham, Ruthin, Denbighshire. The extremely comprehensive history file documents everything from the original BMW factory order and build specification sheet straight up to the present day.
This M3 has only had 4 former long term keepers who have all clearly loved and cherished her. The no expense spared fully detailed stamped service history (mainly BMW) continues right through with servicing and maintenance receipts back to when the car was new totalling thousands of pounds and warranting the very low 61k miles, next service due November 2023. Complete with the BMW handbook pack and leather wallet, 4 original BMW keys, original tax disc holder and every tax disc from the first issued February 2004 to the last issued 2014, 16 accompanying MOT certificates starting with the first dated 1st March 2006 at 25,128 miles.
Recent servicing expenditure by Sytner Oldbury official BMW dealers of circa £3400 has been spent in the last 6 months bringing this M3 into tip top condition and ready to enjoy. Last supplied by Sytner BMW Oldbury the history file also contains a letter from them dated December 2021 confirming the rear subframe has been fully inspected by their technicians and no cracks were found, the car has covered only 280 miles since.
