M3 on the Gum

[slotcars1]

So I found this, hopefully going to go look this evening or tomorrow.

Mielage is a bit high than what I was looking for but looks very clean. I have asked Cois for the low down in the meantime...

What you guys think?

Any views on everything? from mielage to condition etc. etc.

Looks good in the pics but they are generally deceiving. Nothing fantastic about the price.

Sjoe.

That does look good.

Keep us posted.

I have just bought a 98 E36 M3. How can you tell whether its 228kw or 236kw? :fencelook:

 

[Fordkoppie]

All SA 3.2 e36 M3s are 228Kw

Looks like quite a bit of wear on the seats. Could still be interesting.

I am already getting excited, and I haven't even seen it yet :biglol:

Waiting on Coisman to do his thing and hopefully he doesn't reveal any skeletons.... :joy:

Sho... it really is beautiful....

 

[Doomsdaya]

That does look very clean :thumb: though I've never seen an e36 with a cream colour interior.

Remember.... :rofl:

please no joy raiders and not a desperate sale

Hi All

so, Cois checked it out for me, everything checked out except for quick succession ownership changes in 2007.

Said could be fishy. I am seeing the car in about an hour so will keep you all posted. Going to query with the current owner and see what he says.

Other than that I have secured some cash so if I am happy, this could be an exciting weekend for me :thumbs:

Hold thumbs boys..... and the new lady

 

[Coisman]

:joy: glad i could help buddy :thumbsup:

Here is what I Emailed him about what I found on the car...

Hi,
It’s a blue M3, 4 door model, 1998 model, and in 2011-02-14 already had 179k km’s on the clock.

Now the only thing fishy to me is this: Owner history only shows back to 2007, and then there was ownership change 4 times within a few months…

Now let me explain why this is fishy: Once a vehicle was in an accident that was serious, it gets scrapped. So what the guys do is the rebuilt it, get it roadworthy, but on the enatis it then shows code 3-rebuilt.

So while the roadworthy is valid, you change the ownership 4 times, and by the 5th time, it reverts back to a code 2-used vehicle status.

Now I am not saying this is what happened here, but why change it so many times between guys all in 2007, the dates 2007-02-02, then 2007-02-05, then 2007-03-06…. Fishy…

Hope the info helped you a bit.

Cheers.
