Called on car. Seller claims to have owned it for a year and got the car from texas therefore there is no rust. Suspension would need a refresh, tires are newer, has a borla muffler, canned tune, intake, no leaks, and nothing on the short list that he would recommend doing mechanically to the car. Seller is not a “BMW guy” though and kept re-iterating that THIS IS AN M3.

I started making the spreadsheet for an S54 swap and ended once I reached the dollar amount where a decent E46 M3 could be acquired.

Seems worth checking out though. I have the VIN If anyone is interested

Damn sounds like a good deal for someone! If it was in my neck-of-the-woods I would buy it.

I drive past this daily. Owner is not the type of guy you would expect to be driving this car. Im also pretty sure his other car is a DONK. Besides that its also an auto. @Earl and I have got up close and looked at it one day. Its a fair condition M3, I would pay maybe closer to $3k.

DO you have a liscense? Otherwise you will need a broker to bid on that car.

He said his other car is a 2014 Impala, Not many people besides rental car companies like Impalas.  This is where I stop talking

I'm pretty sure Minnesota is a green light state for the public to buy from auction.

Mn you can buy without a license. Wisconsin and other states you need a broker.

Indeed. I almost won this 135i this past summer. Someone stole the comfort access key so in turn I didn't go up to my max bid.

Damn. Was that at CoPart, or where did you find that one?

[Jdesign]

Excuse me while I find a Minnestoian address.

You don't need an address. Bid/buy something, bring it back home yourself or ship it.

In order to bid you need to be a resident of MN. otherwise you cant without a broker or liscense.

Incorrect. I was able to bid fine with my Wisconsin address.

Yep it was at Copart. Someone hit a curb. Essentially cracked the wheel and did alittle damage under the fender. I bit up to 100$ off my max bid. I wish I just bid to win. I just didn't like the fact that someone stole the comfort access key so I wasn't willing to bid more.

I slipped the forklift guy a 20$ so he'd pick it up and show me under it. The car was essentially base model with the M-sport package and comfort access and I loved it. 87k miles.
