I don't understand the "Very sad to see my old car in this state" comment from the past owner. No obvious issues with the car I can see, unless he just hates the mods? Fair enough on the shifter though, it looks terrible. Phots aren't the greatest but some people just suck at that. In the end if you're a serious buyer, you'd take a good look and get it inspected... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qube 3570 Report post Posted October 20, 2020 I liked it then, still like it now, the wheels and gearknob does nothing for me but easily changed. Ticks the boxes that cant be changed like MY, manual (easily), low kms, paint colour etc so its still a winner to me. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted October 20, 2020 Interesting, so the old for sale post here claims new rotors at ~65k and it needs another set at ~100k? That's had some serious track use there. And if that shifter that most people don't like is a proper one then it's worth a bucket-load of money, it's not just short it's microswitch short. On the other hand, if it's a fake POS then it needs to go. Regardless, most people won't like using it (let alone looking at it) but you'll recover your costs of reverting to stock by selling it.

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... 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not interested in post count and referred only to the three posts questioning parentage of the car such as "guessing no service history", "sounds like a substantial shunt then", " it must have been bad for the insurer to not fix it"; if these imaginative guesses meet your personal standard for "excellently raised points", you're probably more at home on Facebook. No points for Gryffindor. Just quoting this for posterity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
