The M3 ended up going for $18,700. Is that... good value for money, considering how submerged it looked to have been?

The B5 went for "just" $7,200".

Bidding on the M3 was mental.... I looked at the B5 though and it didnt look too bad but I think the water went up the exhaust into the motor. Unless by some miracle there was an air lock

Jeez Tom!... admins really busting your balls aren't they! Even for being such a big contributer to the community 😅😅

Pretty steep considering:

So wheels and a shifter make it a 'track whore'? Wee bit dramatic there. most/all of those mods are fully reversible. It's an M3 after all. 

Clearly it is though. It definitely ain't no suny Sunday driver. Parts reversible? Most of them yes. But what about the abuse its received and damage/wear and year?

The user who made that comment is the same guy who offered $14k for Secniv's E36 M3 (listed at $32,500) - so likely just a tool.

I am that tool haha. No one called any names though so why go there ?‍♂️. I use tools all the time and theyr very useful so I'll take it as a compliment.

Asking price for that e36 with that many Kms surely isn't serious so I made a similar offer. Which is much closer to what it's worth really. I'm sure it will become a very comfortable TradeMe resident for years to come at that price. 

As for my old E46 it doesn't take an expert to see even in a few pictures and that description that it's been absolutely mistreated. That car was mint. 

Why take a great example to turn into a track whore? With cheap garbage parts. Shows the mentality of the owner and then you can imagine. Its not even the right car to start from any way, it's a fully loaded model with sunroof etc so it's heavy...

does anyone else just get a feeling of "used and abused" from this? 

half arsed photos, gumby boi shifter, comments from the previous owner...

 

dunno why, just get that feeling about it ?

Hmmm.... maybe...

I like how he says the rod bearings have no signs of failure. If he opened it up to check then why not put new bearings in? (they are cheap). Otherwise if a rod bearing is showing signs of failure... its failed already. That or hes magic and can see through things

And sold for $16k within days of listing on facebook. I heard SMG was shot.

Where was this???

Why so butt hurt? 15k is too cheap for these cars and everyone knows it. They are factory manuals. I say let the guy have it that offered more. Probably closer to the more realistic value, and a fairer price for the seller. Dont be sour because you missed out on an opportunity to rip off the seller.

Well sh*t. I need to check this more often.

People say sharp price, I say market value. So many trademe residents sitting there at 30k+ and never selling. Markets taken a dip even overseas.

lol

Have the byranz metallic sedan. Could be persuaded to part with it.

Picture and price?

Dang. Last one I saw was 16k

I know they're around. There was a nice black one for sale a long time ago I should have bought. Haven't really looked since then. There's a guy on trade me looks like he's selling parts off possibly that very car. I would like an e36 m3 but I think the e36 looks far better as a 4 door. 

Anyone have a spare M3 sedan they want to get rid of?

Who purchased this car? Does anyone know?

Does anyone want to swap my manual e46 m3 steering wheel for their smg one? I bought a manual wheel by accident
