It's not much more capable than a run-of-the-mill '95 M3, but it's rare -- rare options list, rare color combo, etc. In the absence of true scarcity like the E30 M3, rare editions and low mileage are what separate the high-dollar cars from everything else. It's happening in the E46 world, too, although not quite like this.

The big issue with this particular car is that its new owner is pretty unlikely to put big miles on it. (Then again, the odometer rolled past 99 during the prep work for sale...I guess it's already in three-digit territory, too bad.) Seems kind of a shame to have this very nice car and never rub the mold release compound off of the tire treads.
