Lets see your e46 m3 thread

[Casa de Mesa]

My sunroof decided when it wanted to open and close, as if it had free will, rain or shine. I'd be cruising down the highway and it would fully open on it's own. Or tilt. Or go from tilt to fully open and back again.

I yanked the fuse after chasing the issue for a while (new switches, traced wires for pinching, etc.). That was janky. So the only logical decision was to cut the roof out and put carbon in its place.

Bad pic but finishing the prep on my M3 to list it for sale soon.

2005 Mystic Blue slicktop on Impuls cloth with manual seats.
One owner before me, no accidents, original paint, ~60k miles.
Just performed full VANOS, valve adjustment, rod bearings, SMG -> 6MT with new cluch and flywheel, RACP reinforcement and much more.

Any input on what would be a fair market value for it?

Never opened my e36's sunroof in 6 years in Socal. Had a slicktop e82 as well. Windows down is enough for me. I do see the allure of a vert, top down, with an airbox installed. I see no benefit to a moonroof/sunroof, personally. Only drawbacks (less headroom, more weight, more complexity/cost/failure, another possible way for UV to damage interior.

Slicktop just looks hard af which is why I specifically ordered mine without one.

Sunroof is cool if you're cruising but I never use them in other cars.

$35-39K feels about right.

$35k when things were hot a year ago. I think you'd be lucky to get $30k now. It's not a great time. Nice car though.

Damn. Not what I wanted to hear lol. Might keep it a while longer if that's the case.

Market has definitely softened but I think it goes above $30K all day long.

[9kracing]

I would think a slicktop with cloth and 6MT, with 60K miles is worth 30K all day.

[Tbonem3]

That's not the point. Even if it is worth $30 or $32k or $35k, it could have fetched $10k+ more a year to 2 years ago. The ship has sailed. Best to wait for the next craze is my advice.

[jet_dogg]

Yup, with a lot of exposure probably could have fetched up to low 40s, maybe 45 at best depending on the details but they've come down to earth and it cost you 10-15k waiting a year or so to list.

My buddy was saying you can even get a Model S plaid without the stupid steering wheel for only $90k now or some such.

I can’t see why you’d be in a hurry to sell it in that spec… I just don’t see that going lower from here… drive it for a while to let the herd thin… you see what’s happening to well kept E36M right now, almost none of which are coming in that spec or condition… 2-5 years I think rewards your patience.

19x8.5 et35 and 19x10 et 25 with 245/275 firehawks on Ohlins R&T at 13.5” front and 13.0” rear… I’d like to go a touch more aggressive with the wheel fitment though
