Maths says no. This is 10x the price of a standard M3. Is it 10x the car of a standard M3? No.
If you were being cruel you could say the standard M3 is actually better because its offered with a proper gearbox(manual/three pedals).Chris Stott said:
Even more silly than the prices of low volume Porsches.
Very nice cars, but not that much different to a stock M3, and no motorsport provenance.
And pay double the price for no AC? Madness
These sound like the words of someone who has never driven one. But I do agree, I'd rather have a fully optioned car. Oh......Very nice cars, but not that much different to a stock M3, and no motorsport provenance.

From what I'm hearing / seeing - whilst the super high price ones are taking a while the mid-market is really quite furious at the moment, there have been a few cars sold within a couple of days of late.
I agree and mid market they seem seriously sort after and from reading on here/cutters all the owners/past owners of them have loved them and don't have a bad word to say about them as well.Chris Stott said:

Agree with most of that except for the bit about it being not much different to a standard M3, yes it looks pretty similar but you'd have to spend about £20k just in parts alone to get all the right bits and you'd still not be 100% as cutting the roof off to replace it with some carbon fibre might be a bit difficult.

I have always found it fascinating that when they launched the E46 CSL they struggled to sell them but now they are worth a fortune...what a positive turn around, very highly regarded too.
same happened with the Porsche 964 RSAtmospheric said:

If I were in this market I'd just stump up the extra 50k and buy that very nice E30 M3 in the adverts for just 120k. What else is available for only 120k that's even remotely as interesting ?
"Interesting" is an intangible quality. I'd be scared to do anything to it in case I harm its value, let alone go out and give it a thrash and enjoy it. Not a lot there to interest me I'm afraid.Unfortunately, all the fun stuff is on the way up. Even that staple of a penny-pinching petrolhead, the cheap V6 Alfa, is no longer as cheap as it was a year or so ago - the last-of-the-Busso GT and GTA variants seem to have started to climb.
I can see why that particular car is worth a lot but I am very surprised that the market may value it at 70k. Very good looking car though - E46 coupe is the best looking 3 series in my opinion.
Never really saw the point about worrying about 35kg because if you put a fat baldy driver weighing 120 kgs in it you lose all the benefit anyway.
