Ill state again, as already stated in the first post I am not buying at the moment. Was purely curious what people thought. My next car wont even be a BMW

Looks like a bargain.

Matt82 · 10 Oct 2011 at 15:12

2001 car

written off in 2004

im no BMW expert but i guess that car was worth a LOT of money in 2004. £20k? thats a lot of damage.

The "price" is a bargain...

neil3k · 10 Oct 2011 at 15:14

looks like crap too

10 years old
Cat D
been molested
had a respray

However the plate is probably worth a bit.

You missed: Has done 178,000 miles.

lol I did not even see that.

I have 3 magic beans if the OP is intreated?

What's not to love about a 170,000 mile Cat D repainted BMW

Also what 'small rear end damage' writes off a 3yr old M3

What not to buy...

That car is a piece of ****, that is all.

If it was 5 grand I'd be tempted heck I'd be tempted by that at 6k at least it's an honest car 180k but with full history doesn't bother me and the cat d as long as it's been repaired right I wouldn't be bothered by only thing is you buy it cheap you sell it cheap

A Cat D is always going to be a Cat D... I wouldn't touch it personally....

You make a big assumption when you say it's an honest car, well other than it honestly being a car. I also suspect if you phone up Mr Suhail he won't have a fully documented (with stage based photographic evidence) of it's high quality rebuild from a company who specialise in rebuilding BMW M cars, so knows all the correct numbers for the suspension, chassis and other such things. A crabbing M3 with 180k on the clock is still a dog even if it's 6K and whilst it might be a fully reshelled rebuild, built up from scratch I somehow suspect not...

try and offer the guy 5k he will probably take it after a few months of it not selling.

then sell the plate for 800 quid and you have your self a POS M3 for 4.2k

Hasn't it got less miles than Fox's BMW, so, what are you worrying about?

This M3 - Worth it or not?
