Thing has definitely seen way better days.

Rust bubbles over wheel arch
Centre console is wrecked
Stereo is bunk
Front bumper alignment looks off ( accident? )

Nah your ZHP/M steering wheel is silver/grey trim, I would know LOL.

It's the same very used one you were talking shit about while actively messaging the seller.

lol - i was going to make the same post almost word for word.

i'm still surprised it hasn't sold. The ad is shitty.

With good pics, and maybe some more of the OEM parts installed this will be a high 20's maybe 30k car in the spring. The interior is incredibly rare and barely shown.

Seller should pull it and re-market the car in a few months.

Not sure how that's considered as shit talking, as when a friend checked it out that told me as such. I didn't know posting about opinions of other people was considered talking shit. Maybe you shouldn't use Google Reviews either or take those things into consideration. Since that's supposedly, shit talking. Also read the edit: "Good thing I'm particular." I like that specific build - I have no qualms about it. But others might. It's like writing "95a Poly transmits a lot of noise and harshness" it might not be right for you but it's right for me.

And since you know that I was actively messaging the seller, then you would know I had intentions on meeting the seller. Which you would also know that I had to bail, since I was doing a brake job - the same day the seller was leaving town. Call it excuses if you want, but since you know so much, then you would also know how much trouble the brake job was causing me.

And if you're pissy about how I messaged you for your car, and ended up buying a different car, I can post our messages here for everyone to decide if I'm the asshole for buying my dream car. I'd rather tell you upfront that I went a different route, than to waste both of our times and come check out the car, for me to just buy a M3 instead.

Since we're on the topic of talking shit, the seller disclosed that he was going to revert to OEM to ask for a higher asking price. What happened to that? Is revealing information to gather a bigger picture talking shit? Isn't that the beauty of this thread? Someone posts a car, someone else posts feedback of what they know. Whoever buys has all the information they need to make a purchasing decision.

OEM parts on this car are pretty good. I wouldn't price it as a 30K car, but I think it could go for his original 24K listing price. It's likely not selling because the time of year.

Plus if we're being completely honest, all the M3s on sale are over valued. They're all over 150K km. The prices being reflective of market is bullshit because around July, prices of M3s shot up to 28K for crappy examples, making people think their junk is worth 28-32K. This makes a 24K example looking like a steal. Prior to July, the highest priced M3 for sale was 24K. Just keep that in mind.

FWIW, the specific M3 in question, is a great buy. It's track ready from what I know and unlike the other "track-ready" M3 for sale, it's not plagued with issues. When it had the mods on it, it was particular to owner, and it's not a bad thing. It's just not aligned to the interests of the general M3 buyers/owners. It's aligned to the owner's specific taste. Furthermore, if I sold my 330, it would be particular too. All the mods I made were because I decided to sacrifice x to gain y. I don't expect everyone to like my car.

1998 Corvette. $11k, but an auto. 217k. Been on the market for a little while so could go down more.

Yup, this kind of illustrates my (and GIZZ’s) point, it’s an auto transmission. There are deals to be had relatively easily on grandad spec automatics and convertibles.

chill BIC - it's all good.

i know you watch this market closely as i do. I think that the "new normal" price for manual e46 m3's is going to be 25k this year.

my comments were simply that this seller has done a bad job of selling the car.

Selling cars like this shouldn't be that hard. Take lots of excellent pictures. Address all of the cars issues as well as any internet myths (this has subframe reinforcement which shuts up the punters). Approach the market w well researched pricing, and in this case capitalize on the fact that this is pretty close to an individual build w that interior.

It's been poorly presented for 6? weeks now. The seller is leaving 5 grand on the table selling it this way at this time IMO.

JDMDreams 12-20-2020 07:24 PM

^^ I dunno man, my bc corona pay is only $500 not even sure if I'll get that much. Need a few more months of cerb to get a m3. Lol. Just for shits and giggles I messaged the seller to see if he's interested in a partial trade, but he's looking for straight cash.

trollface 12-20-2020 08:04 PM

Ya'll getting Covid cash?

JDMDreams 12-20-2020 08:18 PM

^^ I sure don't. And if I had $30000 cash to throw around I sure ain't buying a 17 year old bmw.

I never understood white leather. Definitely not meant for OCD people like me.

JDMDreams 12-20-2020 10:07 PM

Do not get white leather, everything stains it. My aunt's rx with white tannish leather looks so dirty. But then they do have kids and never take care of it.

I remember seeing a BMW convertible with white leather.
The driver side head rest had a nasty stain from the owner and all the hair product he used.

is350 12-21-2020 12:27 AM

oh wow g37 came with power tilting steering wheel?

love white leather, great to look at in picture, a bitch to maintain. You don't even have to have OCD, if you are someone who likes to keep things clean, white leather will drive you nuts.

Sure it's beat and a bit rusty but for $2500 it's better than the $3900 one.
