Buyer-facing read on this listing
Hi, i am helping my colleague sell his 1,xxx whp capable E46 M3. He is a professional welder & mechanic, and this is his 2nd boosted e46 m3. The reason for the sale is that he doesn’t use the car as much as he’d like to, and he’d like to use the funds to reinvest into expanding his business. He built this car over the course of the last 2 years with the intention of making it a daily-drivable high horsepower street car. Big 3 is done, subframe was completed roughly 2 months ago (with receipts). There is 2,700 miles on the freshy built motor.

Price sits close to the current comparable average, so the decision will come down to condition, provenance, and how complete the file is.
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.
