Buyer-facing read on this listing

2002 e46 m3 sterling grey individual 1 of 78 worldwide. With imola interior, prob single digit production. Crazy rare car I promise you won’t see at your c&c. 107k miles on motor. 177k on body. Everything on the car works as it should. Big 3 done with receipts Manual swapped. Has 3rd gear synchros wear. R1 concepts BBK 6/4 Active Autoworks full exhaust with headers Bc coilovers with camber plates CSL rep front bumper and trunk Eonon head unit with CarPlay and android New headlight lens New oem floor mats with M3 stitching New steering wheel Lots of maintenance and updates done. Too much to list. Car will come with HRE R40, not TE’s. $30k OBO Bay Area. I can arrange shipping on buyer’s dime.

This ask is running about $7,502 over the comparable average, so spec, provenance, and presentation need to justify the premium.

Photo coverage is reasonably deep at 6 images, which helps with judging cosmetics and seller transparency before leaving VINthusiast.

Documentation still reads thin here, so this is the kind of listing where invoice detail and specialist history should drive the next round of diligence.
