Yeah, essentially. With all the mods and service performed. Definitely the wrong time to sell. Could have done better last yr, but could've, would've, should've. It's okay. Gotta think about what will be next though.

These statements from you and Tbonem3 are disappointing. You do what you agreed to do. Don't like the reserve, then don't list which is a lesson for everyone on the fence.3.91 | CMP Subframe & RTAB Bushings | SMG (Relocated & Rebuilt) | ESS Gen 3 Supercharger | Redish | Beisan | GC Coilovers & ARCAs | Imola Interior | RE Rasp | RE Diablo | Storm Motorwerks Paddles | Will ZCPM3 Shift Knob | Apex ARC-8 19x9, 19x9.5 | Sony XAV-AX5000 | BAVSOUND | CSL & 255 SMG Upgrades | Tiag | Vert w/Hardtop

The modified LSB has no chance of recuperating his expenses to build the thing, at this stage of life the E46 has transitioned to the value being in the scarcity of untouched "good" ones. That's what collectors want.2002 M3 Coupe | 1988 320i Touring

Example, would clean mods by quality manufacturer parts like:
CSL airbox - Karbonius - Evolve
CSL carbon roof - Karbonius - Evolve
Supersprint exhaust system
Coilover system like Ohlins, TC Kline, Bilstein etc
Hurt the value of an m3?
What about OEM parts like:
OEM CSL trunk
OEM CSL diffuser
Euro header/cats
CSL/ZCP wheels
Is it only 100% OEM cars only collectible?
I am restoring my m3 and am on the fence about what to return stock and what to leave modded. I was going for a clean OEM plus setup.

Collectors want original, esp special specs/rare, but there are plenty of people willing to pay for well modified cars too. At least there were the last couple of years. Maybe the LSB love-in simply ran its course?DD: /// 2011.5 Jerez/bamboo E90 M3 · DCT · Slicktop · Instagram

If you have one with around 40-90k miles, if you choose the right parts on an OEM+ build, you can recoup your money or even make profit.
Here is my opinion on parts, they need to be high end parts and please the largest audience. There are other equivalent or maybe better parts on market but those will be accept by more people:
Coilovers : JRZ, MCS, Ohlins
BBK: Brembo GT (not 996 conversion)
Exhaust line: Supersprint
Intake: Karbonius
Seats: Recaro
Wheels: BBS
Adding a CF roof only if part of a CSL theme.
All those parts should help bringing more cash:
OEM CSL trunk
OEM CSL diffuser
OEM CSL CF roof
OEM CSL front bumper
OEM CSL headers/Section 2/muffler
Euro header/cats
OEM CSL/ZCP wheels
OEM ZCP/CSL steering rack
OEM CSL swaybars
OEM ZCP/CSL brakes
OEM Die Wethje CSL intake
I think what didn’t help R2fanatic sell for higher money is the bad timing (people aren’t spending like crazy anymore like 2020-2022), mileage is on the fence to get super high bid, was on BAT previously so people saw how much it was paid.
And maybe it would have done better with Brembo instead of Stoptech, a complete M-Texture interior or Recaro seats instead of Sparco, or maybe Recaro PP and rear seats reupholster like CSL interior if going with CSL door panels.

I personally think this one went for good money. Seller may have lost money on an all in basis but on some level I think we all know this when we go whole hog modding cars.
