I noticed this afternoon doing my own search that there are quite a few M3s in the sub 40k segment now, I think that's too cheap. The E36 M3s keep their value very well, pristine examples are still sitting around the late 20s to early 30ks. Quite incredible actually.

If something seems to good to be true, it usually is. If the car has been hanging around for a long time, then there's a reason why it hasn't sold yet. Even still, definitely worth checking out cos it is cheap! Good luck!

Just want to clear the 18' wheel & cloth insert seat thing up. From MY04 you could still have the 18' wheels and cloth inserts seats as a "delete" options. A lot of motoring journos bagged the M3's ride on the std 19" wheels so BMW offered the 18" inch wheels as NCO.

You can still order cloth insert seats on the current M3 also.

Hmm, it's not bad. Cheap price for its kms, but it's an import so they won't fetch as much as locally sold M3s. How do you know it's an import anyway? Honestly I don't like ads that only have 3 photos. If you're gonna sell a relatively expensive car, at least put up a few more photos. No interior shots. Not a fan of 20" wheels, but I guess it's a show/promo car that's why it has it. Have you considered a manual? My friend recently had to repair his SMG - wasn't cheap.

I called the owner he said it's an import as he is the second owner.

I've got 1 photo of the interior and it's pretty clean and yes it is a show car , all pics are available from forge wheels website.

I consider manual like Raj but there isn't any decent one :(
