It looks nice, but "If you are reading this then you already know how good this car is" always rings alarm bells!

Why would you cover Silverstone with Auckland Black wrap?  Unless you're trying to hide something maybe.

Try not to judge, but the fact this has isofix makes me think that's awesome and it sure would help sell it to the wife. ?

It might not have the top tether anchors as mine didn't but they are still available for order.

Yeah, mine didn't have top tethers either. The irony being mine had top tether bolt holes and this installed reasonably easy... but mine doesn't have isofix.

That doesn't look right. Look at that production date. This is a 2003 and an E46 (your VIN is from an E90 M3)

So, car stalking for beginners. Registration > HJG25 (from tradme photo and listing) https://carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=HJG25

VIN from Carjam WBSBL92090JR05132

Input it into https://www.bmwvin.com/ which results in:

We are looking at two different cars then.  Sorry, my mistake.  The one I'm looking at is an E90 Sedan.

I clicked on the link in the first post. That's the 2003 E46 M3 we're discussing here, isn't it?

So you and I know how just how bad these are for getting child seats in and out of.

You know... We have 4 child seats (2 per car... It's a pain to move them around) and one of them is a Britax with a clicksafe system that is a breeze to install and move around. It costs $500ish, but that is the seat to get if your kid is forward facing and happy. I'll find a link. Trivial to install correctly and safely. 

EDIT: It's "Clicktight" and this is the seat https://www.babyonthemove.co.nz/car-seat/shop-by-weight/9-40kg/britax-frontier-click-tight It's worth every penny and installs solid tight unmoving on any car we've tried so far. ALR seatbelts not required, nor messing with the damn clips.

Wow, all these posts on the thread about an E46 M3 and no-one has commented on the fact that it is an SMG gearbox, damn, just did it myself.

It will be interesting to see how high the price goes on this one, and if it actually sells without and shill bids..

But the grin on the daughters face more than makes up for it ...... can we go in daddy's car ......

If you think about they are a smaller version of a race seat with a 5 point harnesses

I don't bother with the labels anymore. I buy cars with 3 pedals (and no the footrest\foot brake don't count).
