E46 M3 CSL in the states

[usdmej]

It sounds like what you’re describing is only an issue for people that live in California?

it affects the rest of the nation because non cali residents aren't competing with a sea of tech bros that can buy these cars on a whim

Good to have CA excluded, then

I'm pretty sure we're going to see a $200k, quite possibly $250k, e46 when an appropriate LHD comes up for sale. A couple of reasonably wealthy guys want the same car and there we go.

This one hit roughly $147k (€129,375) back in January of 2026 and it had 40k miles. Low mileage mint car is going to be a solid chunk of change.

This car has a dubious history as well - they sold it as "odometer having been replaced", which is sales speak for it having been "clocked" with no way to verify the actual true mileage, but likely to be in excess of 60k miles / 100k kilometres .
