E46 M3 Touring

Went into my dealer today to finalise my iX3 order and they had a surprise on the=EV showroom floor.
A MY2000 E46 (pre-facelift) M3 Touring. BMW only ever made one example and never put it into production.
The one they had today started life as a 325i and was rebuilt from bare metal from a firm called Petroyle Restorations based in Chalgrive in Oxfordshire. They have done all of the work that BMW would have done in Munich to produce this car and it looked incredible. A video is linked below. The car was fully finished only a few days ago.
If you want one, you’ll need to part with something above £100k or more…..and you’ll need to provide an appropriate E46 Touring to be rebuilt.
