    m6 with an individual interior. 

    I like that a 2'x2' section of sheet metal has been cut from the side of the car

    Also it makes me cringe when they pick up cars that are going to be rebuilt with a forklift. Cant be healthy for suspension components or fuel/brake lines, depending which way they fork it... not that they give a shit

    Also it pisses me off that shift knobs, key fobs and emblems go missing from literally every auction car

    😡😤

    holy shit balls mother of god. IMHO, this is the pinnacle of a daily driver.  love that he stuck an s54 on an iX drivetrain

    wtf $27k? Even being generous and assuming that swap cost $10k, $17k for a 300k mile 325ix with flares and pretty Apex wheel seems insane. Even with KW suspension components.

    Still a sick car tho.

    This. Still traumatized by those things. Can't move on...

    With you on this one. A line on my old m3 rusted in one spot and I pieced in a section with unions. Every double flare tool I touched was junk, and of course the one good double flare I made I forgot to put the threaded nut piece over the line before I flared it 😓 

    was one of my least favorite times I ever worked on my car

    Are those E21 Startecs, a Corsa super wheel?!? WTF guy, WHO ARE YOU.

    Is this how much e30 m3 side skirts go for? He wants $750 for the cluster and one sold on eBay for $1000... good flips maybe

    I feel like I could see the skirts being worth like $2k if they are oem

    Got more pics of the car or is it a secret rn? Still have the M cloth interior? Rusty? These things are sweet and I’d take one over another cosmos M3 haha

    In my opinion I think that many will appreciate its rarity regardless of a s52 swap. I don’t think that the fact that the original motor exploded or whatever is going to completely discredit the fact that it’s a 1/150 M-technic car. Clean it up, source the special interior and exterior bits and it’ll pull a premium. I’ve seen LTW’s with motors that have been replaced, they don’t just become average priced m3’s. Same concept on a smaller scale? Honestly these cars came with much more desirable bits then the M3’s did in the US, and I think they are respected more then just being a trim level for a 325is.

    Hey it's 17 year old me.

    I couldn't have been more lucky to have a M3 at 16 years old, weird to think I took it to high school everyday for 3 years, moved out and went to college with it and took it everywhere. Enjoyed every mile of the 30,000 I put on it.

    I should be studying for finance but instead I'm in my feels 😞👌

    Day 1, March 2013, the car looked like an abomination. I remember wanting to return the car to oem, and scrubbing the turn signals with acetone that night to de-tint them.

    I think you were looking for a cheap 8 Series? Heres one with 200k and in need of paint/engine work/ among other things

    https://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/cto/d/bmw-850ci-1991/6742529439.html

     

    I spy 4 piston BMW calipers. 

    I've seen quite a few 850ci's without 4 piston calipers, did they only come on euro cars? Or later model 850ci's?

    They seem really rare

    "Sahara Beige" e46 wagon. Pretty cool, but at $7800 with 180k miles it kinda seems overpriced

    Also I'm on Autotrader looking at some 8 series, it looks like the value of them has quietly skyrocketed?? I can't find one less then $12k

    I remember around the time I got my first M3 (almost 6 years ago) I'd see them on craigslist for as low as $2500. I remember a 850ci in Denmark, WI for $4k, and I think it had a 6 speed.

    Wasn't this the same M3 that was for sale just a little while ago? Haven't seen many Boston Green/Modena M3s. Wondering if it's a piece, or this dude is just trying to make a fat flip.

    Think it was listed for like 8K originally.

    @ChrisO

    Such a cool color combo, I hope it’s not the same one. The other one had tons of rust, it was all bubbled along the hood,  roof and rear trunk lid
