    You could get a professional windows out full paint job for under 20 grand. Swap the interior to M-texture for another 10.

    Paying 100K for a blue E46 is just stupid.

    But you know what they say... A fool and his money....
    You had me at 40k for an e46 m3. I wouldn’t buy an e46 m3 in this market.

    At around 15:26 they comment on how its unheard of and neither can think of other cars with this kind of differentiation due to a color. They mention a purple lambo.

    People pay money for things they like. If color is not an issue, you can save a lot by getting literally any other color e46 m3. I have another M car, color was very important to me, I could’ve saved a lot of time and money getting any other color, but instead it took more time and money to get it.

    I'm going out on limb and say that is not a BaT car. He won't make much over the former advertised price.

    Hagerty seems to think our cars are worth quite a bit.
    Hagerty wants us to declare a higher value so our premiums go up.

    I remembered seeing this same car make the rounds on Bimmerpost and thought what a travesty it was to turbocharge an S54:



    The front seats appear to have had something of a glow up along with the front bumper.

    The only time the LSB didn’t come at a premium was when it was released. If this car were any other color, it would be half off, or less. It is what it is.

    That said, here’s another one, I guess they have an inventory on rotation. I’m not a fan of boosted cars. In my humble opinion, these cars needed to be enjoyed, not boosted…

    I also don’t love the single exhaust, the wheels or the diffuser. However, those can be easily addressed.

    Bid for the chance to own a Turbocharged 2004 BMW M3 Coupe 6-Speed at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #254,905.

    142k mile car without original engine, interior, or wheels AND multiple accident history...

    I'd ditch a LSB, buy a regular color, and pocket the money before the market comes to its senses. 15-20k premium for a color...
