@nath I know you're "trying" to thin the fleet, but also...

That's cool (would be cooler if it were a touring though)

"trade in special" is disingenuous at best, first registered in NZ 28/5/25.

You'd have to really like them to pay M3 money for one. They seem to be sold for 20-30k overseas. 

Never heard of these having a factory LSD either.

I’d assume that any buyer would need to really like a car to pay whatever is being asked? Same goes here. They often came with LSD, mine didn’t.

Like most post-2000 cars, these just don’t have the X factor of cars past, for me. A little flaccid looking.

Should of read 'want' rather than like but either way paying a dealer premium on a unknown 25 year old import is heart over brain logic.

Unlike the E36 i found no reference of these E46's ever having a factory fitted LSD. E36's had factory LSD's unlike the E46, only the M3's had them with their completely different subframe.

Of all the Alpina E46variations this has to be the most base model. 4 door auto. Seems a bit excessive.
