That is fcuken cheap. I'd look at it for sure, and i'd definitely get a reputable place to do a PPI. Sounds too good to be true.

MSportBMW · 08-30-2012, 05:42 AM

Damn that's cheap. I would check it out and get a PPI though. Good luck

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.

forzamilan10 · 08-30-2012, 05:48 AM

Also weren't those wheels on the earlier E46 M3s? I thought 03+ got 19" standard. Would like some insight into that please somebody!

seems legit

Asking and getting are two different things.

I will try to call him tomorrow and get bmw autowerkers for PPI. Curious why he can't just give it to dealer for that price :S

bobz · 08-30-2012, 06:18 AM

Because dealer offered him 30K

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!

Serious?

Anyway I just noticed... it doesn't have sunroof and it has cloth seats

It has a sunroof, and the seats were special order on the update.

Pretty sure i saw this on graysonline a few months ago sold for around 30-35 either way still cheap remember the seats and the number plates well that's if am right.

sabrehagen · 08-30-2012, 07:39 AM

Try the mobile number. Beware there are many many MANY fakes on Carsales. I experienced at least 3 a week when searching for my car. Speaking to the owner at least gets you past that stage.

VIN checks out and it really is a 2006 M3. Surprised to see it with 18s and cloth seats though.

Sherweeeny · 08-30-2012, 09:46 PM

Probably had hectic rims before it was in the accident and he wanted to source everything cheaply?
