I can vouch for this car...I've seen it in person at Park Place in Seattle and it's built properly. Nice car indeed.

By the way, I mught be seeing you at SilverState soon.

Haha yea man, im doing well! Might sell the turbo for some investments then hop in a 997GT3 or GT2, and buy another M3 as a daily we'll see!

I miss my M3 to death, car was amazing just needed a change, that car is in Washington btw, was in NY but now its at VIPimports in Washington State!

BTW dont be a fool, cf is played out especially on BMW's, half the reason why i loved the M3 so much was because of how clean yet aggressive it was setup, also meaning little cf accents but painted also, except the roof is full cf!

yeah my boy owns and old and new m3...the old e30 or what ever like 80's version...he told me if i dont buy your car he will...LOL... only thing is i need to replace the seats...i dont fit in ANY bucket... but its all good....going to call them tommorw or so..the VIP place is kinda pricing their inventory kind of high..they have a GTR R33 that they want almost 90k for...THATS a JOKE...but i figure i can get ur old m3 for about 60k i figure with out the OEM stuff... u do anything to the sound system? Also did you install a thicker head gasket...

I already got a modd list i figure... I redo the motor with a thicker head gasket, carbon drive shaft, lighter pulleys...and maybe spot weld the entire car...the ROOF is just SICK THOUGH... i want it just for that...

But someone did mention a Supra and i could get one of those...do a 500whp kit and put on the ABFLUG wide body kit for about the same price...its a hard toss up...

All i know is that i finally got to drive an SMG car today and you know what... MANUAL IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY DAM F1 or so system... at least for any car under 150k...

I know that you guys keep talking about VIPImports but the car is sitting on the floor at Park Place. illM3, do you know where you car is I'm assuming VIP is just a broker listing it for you?

I'm with ScottKelly911 - the E46 M3 w/ mods is a great piece and not to expensive - besides resale is great right now, even with the mods - new 2007 M3 is going for $80's which is helping the E46 - go Dinan w/ a warrenty.

Listen man just a little run down, the car is a steal even for 65k, but im sure it can go for a little better price! Dont buy it if your going to start doing stupid ****, i'll cry LOL jkjk!!

You cannot do lighter pulley's, it will rev way too fast, as already now it revs insanely fast and shread the belts instantly, no need for a headgasket, these motors on stock internals and everything are good now for 563 rwhp on a smaller pulley than mine (stage 3) with a nice shot of nitrous, not one person has blown their motor with the AA kits, even when they tried within reason to see its limits, its still that strong!

CF driveshafts people are saying do not fit LOL, they make one for the car and its too short, that's crazy..

Man, if you dont want the seats i want them , i was going to buy GT3's , tough call.. BTW Supra's are cool, but even after my turbo comparing to the M3, even my turbo being rwd i love the power delivery of the M3 coming out of turns and so on, i have to blip the throttle in the turbo do have some decent power coming around a turn and out of the corner!

They are totally different, but the M3 will run laps around a supra at a track!
