Not sure what you are suggesting is going on there? They don't appear be listed at M3's?

This is in the description of the first listing:
This car was built on an 2020 320i chassis everything was taken from a November 2021 BMW M3 Competiton xDrive to make this a truely unique car, this is the only M3 Touring with Pnoramic sunroof and pre facelift dashboard

This is in the description of the second listing
Has every extra and is a real head turner, was originally build on a 2019 330i hpi clear car but has everything changed to a M3. Next MOT due 30/09/2023, Beige, 1 owner, £67,700

I notice the 2020 black one is showing as Cat S as well.

Not my sort of thing at all, but tbf rather that than the usual VW Beetle-based replicas. An Alfa twin cam engine behind you rather than a VW flat four that sounds like a Subaru with a broken exhaust manifold and, even with this plastic fantastic to propel, would have all the performance of a glacier.

Is there a particular problem with re-shelling a car now? I think we have to acknowledge that such things happen independently of stealing cars and then buying a V5 + VIN plate.

Why do we have wrongly-registered kit cars on the ringing kits thread?

We have a separate thread for these: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Why did liquid knight stop posting?

He was abducted by his local ringing gang, assigned a new gender and is now known as "Liquid m'Lady" instead.
