For starters, we have this one up for the hammer to drop later today. 98K mile TiAg and Dove with the big 3 not addressed. Unfortunately due to color, lack of feedback from seller, the the economy sliding, I doubt we will see the high results we were having just month ago. But who knows! Anything can happen in the next 10 hours.

This was a fun thread. You could read the BaT commentary, then come here for fellow owner comments. In case anyone needs background, wrote this post on BaT in late 2018. Site has just kept growing since then:

The post includes a spreadsheet someone on the old M3Forum created with a list of E46 sale prices. It was updated last summer to reflect the famous LSB sale.

I feel for anybody auctioning their car rn. Potentially some good deals to be had.

Time to eat my own words. Very late rally and came out to what I consider a pretty impressive result for the lack of seller comments, the economy, and the color combo.

BaT always throws me. Cars like that sit on Autotrader and fb marketplace for a while and don’t sell for that much of a premium. Good result for the seller I guess!

$18k for a silver/dove 100k mile m3 without the big three maintenance? wut

I have no idea. I won’t deny it, market talks I guess. Good for all of us?

I’m telling you, it the panic mindset, just like you see people in stores buying more than they need right now.

BAT has now sold 243 E46 M3s on their site. Updated the spreadsheet with the latest data.

There is a special one back up on BaT if anyone wants a individual color. 1 of 5 in the US, 1 of 7 in the world.

Honestly I like every color I've ever seen an e46 m3 in until now. Is it me or does that color combination or chiaretto red and cinnamon just not work?

I'm curious to see what this one brings.

This one is quite lovely and worth watching.

I’m not a big fan of it, maroon just isn’t a good car color IMO. Reminds me of Chrysler mini vans.

On the topic of individual colors, I think messing metallic might be my favorite.
