Matt Moreman of Obsessed Garage

Matt is sending back his recently acquired Alpine White E46 M3 to EAG. I am certain he applied the trade credit towards the 800 mile E92 M3.

His exit interview of the E46: https://youtu.be/si_G6hd7w8M

FYI, If no one has taken the time to watch the video above Matt discloses that he paid $65k for the E46 M3 and $120k for the 800 mile E92 M3.

*Additional* 15 minutes of frame.

Every automotive purchase that he makes has been broadcasted via YouTube and other social media platforms. Including him trading his GT3 for a GT3 RS and the delivery of his ordered Cayman GT4.

His current collection: E36 M3, two E92 M3, GT3 RS, Cayman GT4, Model 3, and Raptor. His wife drives the Model 3 and Raptor. All vehicles are modded.

Very nice fleet—unmodded.

Concur.

I decided to watch the rest of the video. He has a 992 GT3 Touring on order with an ETA in 7-8 months.

I will park this here… So he paid more than double for the car (seems to brag about paying $120k for it often) and has already begun modding it (cosmetically). Little does he realize that he is killing the EAG resale/collector status or maybe he does realize, but just does not care? Either way, extremely foolish on his part, especially as a former financial advisor. lol

I don’t think he’s an idiot - he has to be aware why this car was (in theory) worth $120k to begin with and the impact his mods will have on that value. I personally don’t know the first thing about the economics of influencer / social media following but I’m sure there is enough $$$ in this from the clicks to cover the cost of the M3 mods & drop in value.
