The car has been modified and cared for at Schall Motorsports in Spartanburg, SC (home to the largest BMW plant in the world by the way.) by its owner - a German mechanic.

IF you want a very well looked after, highly sorted, and very sporty street car then this could be it. IF you want an expertly modified car for Track Events then this car is definitely it.

Yes. There are two standard non M3 passenger seats in black which came from a 4 door car. These are manual seats. Either will work.

Bump for a great seller. I was able to see this car last week, and it's in great shape! Marcus also noted that he installed the carbon fiber CSL style airbox which looks phenomenal and really transforms the engine bay.

I'm thinking about buying it for my son. Who knows? Stranger things have happened. With used car prices at all time highs, over 700 views on the E46 M3 forum, and 400+ views on the E9X M3 forum, not a single person has contacted me about this car. Is the price too high? What gives. I guess Autotrader nor Edmunds folks will appreciate it? However, the M3 Forums are far more sparsely used nowadays then they were a decade ago.

those are the reasons you aren't getting any hits. lots of nice mods, but that only further limits your pool of potential buyers. owner should consider parting all that stuff out.

Okay. Thanks for your insights. I will pass them along to the owner. The cost of the mods is ~$18K+ so you make a good point about parting those out for cash $. Heck, even if $10K were recouped, the car could be still be sold for $12K and all total up the same as the asking price now.

I didn't know SMG is undesirable, which perhaps doesn't bode well for my DCT equipped E92 M3 years from now. Though I'm aware DCT was an improvement over SMG's harshness and response.

If I recall correctly the flood title was bestowed upon it even though the water damage was quite minor. I'm not the owner, but I did ask about that detail. Perhaps it's time to pull the ad down off here? Twenty somethings are all on reddit or FB, IG, or similar nowadays, but not here anymore. Life goes on.
