    I was going to change the spark plugs on my 95 M3 but have been thwarted by 2 of the bolts on the cover.  Some @$#@%#$ person put them on too tight and they will not come loose.  Obviously, I have stripped the allen heads, what else could I do?  My next thought it to try to drill off the heads but I thought I see if there were any better advice on how to get them off... Your thoughts please...

    I feel Beanie, Singlet, Socks and Jandals guy is the brain child behind this flip, I can tell he is a "hustler that is street wise" from the outfit, an entrepreneur when it comes to filling out "occupation" in forms.

    I trust him more than any car dealer I have spoken to recently though, outfit aside, he is putting in some effort.  

     

     

    I don't see any issue with this.  He's putting in the effort so he can profit from it.

    I do have an issue with who cut a hole in the hood of a 3.0?  Just needs a piece of steel and it was handy?

    Great car in a great colour, I almost bought one 15 years ago (LHD).  But...

    -it's missing the factory radio

    -has a LOT of kms

    -has EDC, not a plus in my book as it will definitely need replacing/removing at some point, if it even works now.

    The 91 was on TM for along time at $45k... no sure if it sold. It only had 160k kms.

    Someone buys/obtains a car that is dead reg/stolen/not an M3 and wants it to be a road "legal" M3... buys shell with reg, plates and vin tags, puts said identity on dodgy car.

    Very illegal, but still happens. I think they call it ringing in the UK.

    Thanks for the explanation, I understand now.

    However, this car has been written off (according to carjam) so would it still serve this purpose?  If you put the vin on another car it would need a re-cert to be road worthy.  Hard to hid the changed vin, wouldn't it be?

    Here's another twist. I emailed the M5 owner asking if he'd trade for my M3... here's the response.

    "I’ve always wanted an M3 but at the moment it’s the space I need."

    If he needs space... why did he buy it in March?
