DESCRIPTION
2003 BMW M3
BMW M, ("M" for "Motorsport"), was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.
Total production of the E46 M3 was 56,133 coupés and 29,633 convertibles.

-OEM Factory BMW Imola Red 405 Paint code
Only 2% of BMW E46 M3 imported from Germany in early 2000s to the United States were in Imola Red... Regardless of the body and transmission of the BMW E46 M3.

So NO RESERVE auction ended at 15k and you didn't let buyer get it?? What was point to list it there ??? If you wanted loose your reputation Congratulations you did it !
Also I wouldn't say clean Carfax with accident in history. On the end I recommend to change differential oil again with correct one if you don't want to damage differential because you filled it with transmission oil......

Thanks for your reply. Please read the last comment presented on that website. It’s not legal selling the car that low. The car was just purchased this year for selling purposes. It wouldn’t make sense to sell it for $15,000.. Nor was it purchased for $15,000 either. I already apologized and if anyone is aware these car, this one in particular, is value more than what it was bidded for. Now, for “reputation”, that’s an online auction which I’m originally against the idea in the first place. The person who told me about that site works there and was the one who suggested the auction format. I was against “no reserve” but was assured it gains attractions. I’ve sold close to 20 of these vehicles over a year and half. I’ve had great experience with this differential fluid by the way. Thanks for your input. And have a great day about that because no complaints here my friend. The Imola Red M3 will sit and wait for the right buyer. Check the first car I posted here. It sat for 4 months until the right buyer arrived. I reached out by phone n email to the last bidder if you are aware as well. Clean carfax can mean a number of things. This car has had one accident in the rear which again is all stated on the PCar Market’s website. By the way if you wondering about the owner count it is only 2 since dealerships have this car for sale in the past and a dealership isn’t technically an owner at that point. Anything else please ask away.

Also, I hear allot of negatives about the Z4 M
How well does it suit you, what about the steering? I know you have the s54 but I hear the steering especially at cornering speeds is nothing, amongst other things too

That's funny you said it's not legal to sell this car that low but it's legal to buy it that low ?? Typical dealer.
Please understand me. I didn't say this car is worth 15k it's worth more, but this was your choice to go with NO RESERVE auction. If you agree with that and you offer your product with no reserve car should be sold. You could put reserve but you didn't do it......
I also saw this car sold on ebay for 19k before auction. Why you didn't let this go for 19k ?? Personally I think it's worth around 18- 19k because of smg and accident in history. Recently similar M3 with manual transmission , hardtop , clean title sold for 25k on BAT.
