Yes or No... E46 M3
Discussion
A friend has offered me his E46 M3 for what I think is a pretty good price but just wanted to get the thoughts of PH.
51 reg
110k
HPI clear
Carbon black
Coupe with sunroof
Manual
Cloth/alcantara? seats
Rod bearings done by Hack Engineering
Head gasket done 3yrs ago
Vanos & Timing chain just redone by Mr Vanos
Boot floor done
New diff 3k ago
HK sound system
It is modified with a few choice items but nothing drastic - BC coilovers, CW wheels, some jazzy short shifter, purple tag short steering rack & decatted.
£10k. I think that’s a pretty good price? Looking on ebay/AT there is about 5 manual coupes under that price.
Thoughts?

Get that bought!
That's a spot on spec, great colour, I much prefer alcantara, a sunroof yes please, vanos, bottom end an top end all been looked at recently, new diff, decent coilovers an good quality mods.
Realistically what could go wrong? Boot floor? I can't think of much else that hasn't already been addressed.
Plus it's good to buy from a mate who likes their cars, better than some random bloke who tells ya it's mint on the phone an it turns out to be a cat c mess

Coupe? Were they not only 1 bodystyle, the classic M3 2 door sedan?
They came in convertible too. https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds?CarTypeFF=...aka_kerrly said:

This basically. Looks to have been sorted with all the relevant fixes and not even high mileage really. That's a spot on spec, great colour, I much prefer alcantara, a sunroof yes please, vanos, bottom end an top end all been looked at recently, new diff, decent coilovers an good quality mods.
