With rubber floormats, mirror issues.. Not good signs. I also have had VANOS done, tons of maintenance done and the detailed record (though more owners) shows no periods of sitting, just 2.5k miles/yr. Also Laguna! So yeah, I should definitely list on rennlist or BaT if I go back to selling it.

I was pointing out the selling price not the interest I have in that car.

Yeah, I was just marveling that even the most basic M3 still seems to be commanding insane prices.

You're picking out low-mileage, well preserved examples. You can still find solid E46 M3s for much less, although you may have to deal with things like rock chips and worn leather.

It's weird that half the exterior pictures show the front plate attached.

I loved the cinnamon interior in my 05 comp M3. It got compliments all the time. I also like how the wheel spacers fill out the arches. When I got mine I already had 245/275 tires purchesed to replace the stupid small 225/255's it came with.
