  • I bought a low mileage carbon black BMW E46 M3 Coupe manual gearbox used car with red leather cheap HPI clear from BCA british used car auctions. The BMW E46 M3 was available as a coupe and a convertible cabriolet and was also available with a single clutch semi-automatic gearbox. This car is a facelift car with some nice spec options.

    Can’t believe the prices these are going for. My dad had one brand new in 2003, gun metal grey with red leather interior. Paid almost 50k for it with its options and sold it 3 years later for 30k. Sounds like it would be worth about that now 😂

    The oil might look good but that trim laced with coolant shows the water pump is on its last legs... Other stuff that would put me off, peeling rear headlining, car used with no floor mats, dust and dirt layered throughout the centre console. Looks like new discs and good tyres though so there is that but that's counter to the lack of interior upkeep which is a little odd.

    Sold my Phoenix yellow vert last year for £11k 🤦‍♂️
    Contrary to what people think I personally don’t think these are a good investment, running/maintenance costs outweigh any increase in price unfortunately.
