Ugh... the M3 logos on the seats are gaudy.  That's not factory, is it?

No and its tacky AF.

28K, "no known bodywork damage" and this is the front alignment.

I also hate the painted rear black moulding since it doesnt match the rest

Its a nice car, but im seeing a few things that would concern me, and a few things that indicate to me that the previous owner wasnt too fastidious about its condition.

Is the nose grill panel replaced to a facelift version? (Being a 1994 model)

would explain the misaligned panels. Also the right corner light is not aligned well either.

overall looks super tidy but definitely had some kind of panel work done..

Is that a big paint loogy above the LH front indicator, or is the front of the guard bent.

Those gaudy headlights. Just no.

The front panel and grills are pre-facelift, not updated, but the bumper is on wrong. Not sure about that rear trim, in some of the pics it looks okay but in others, yes, far too shiny. The seats have been re-trimmed well, they are particularly difficult seats to do properly, but yeah, those logos will not appeal to many (although BMW themselves picked up that trend in later cars).

I've seen worse, it's a pity the Aus market is so different to ours, it's unlikely to provide an indicative value.

Steering wheel looks all wrong too. Colour is too different to centre and stitching too bright. Not feeling this one. It's like a 'try hard' recreation of what should be original. Sex spec M3 😆
