do you guys think this is a good deal? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks___SUPERCHARGED-M3-FROM-CALIFORNIA-WITH-4K-MILES-600-HP_W0QQitemZ300252550662QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQ QddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item300252550662&_trk parms=39%3A1|65%3A7|240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m2 45

 

looks great to me I would buy it for that price

 

How does a car with 4500 miles have that much wear on the seat?? Interesting.

 

Those seats look to be in very good condition, the mileage matches the seats -the e46 M3 uses nappa leather for the seats, while the leather is very soft, it holds up the test of time very well and is very durable

Regardless, the mileage matches the condition of the leather

 

the picture of the driverside seat bolster shows significant wear...every else does look to be in tip top shape though...maybe it was from sliding in and out of the car so much when they were working on it to cause that wear?

 

Usually when the seat wear dont match the miles, it means a lot of short trip that is all (lot of getting in/out). If it was mostly highway miles you would see much less wear on the seat.

 

"Usually when the seat wear dont match the miles, it means a lot of short trip that is all (lot of getting in/out)."

Yeah, like at the track.

Supercharger, huge brakes and driver's seat wear @ 4k miles. Hmmm.

 

damn, pistons and con-rods....I wonder when they did that...I would have a ton of questions for the seller...

 

+1...

people are bidding tho, very low miles.

 

Seems like a great M to me. I'd get a compression/leak down test down and if that checked out, I'd have no problem buying this car.

One thing though...I've heard a lot of negative things about RMS's customer service. Their hardware is top-notch, but service is another story apparently. Just throwing that out there for you OP.

 

thanks guys. i'm still pretty hesitant about putting in a bid. i mean for the amount of hardware put into the car and the mileage on it, one would think the seller would jack the price up a bit more. im also thinking about getting a 335i rather than an M3 because i want to get some good mpg!

 

RMS...YIKES!!!! That would scare the heck out of me.

 

2nd. and 600hp? i would like to see some proof of that.

 

I guarantee it is not 600hp. Like to know who did the software.

 

thanks guys i really dont know much about RMS but from what ive heard so far...im going to call this car/auction a fail
