Turnkey e46 m3 in amazing condition with almost everything you can do to these cars already being done, and done properly..

This ask is running about $13,801 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.
