testing waters on possibly getting rid of my E46 M3. I've had an itch for an E9X chassis for some time, so thought I'd make a feeler thread. Not in a hurry to get rid of. I've had the car for 6 years and it has been more than a pleasure to own. Car has had the big 3 completed within the past 15k miles. It is a former SMG model but had Kaiv down in SD do the conversion for me. It looks as it would have came from factory. Besides those items I have overhauled the cooling system, brake system and many other misc items. I would not hesitate to drive this car across the country. I have receipts of all services and parts that have been replaced.

There might be other things I can't think of. Will add to the listing if anything comes up.
Couple of things on my todo list for the car are listed below:
1. Rear bumper had some damage from the previous owner. It is on the passenger rear. I just ended up touching it up. See pictures.
2. Stereo unit gave out on me. It's basically on a booting loop.
3. Rear window rubber side moldings need to be replaced.
4. Front bumper has some scratches/ding on the bottom of the bumper.
Asking $30k with TE37. 27k on stock wheels.
