Hey Mafia, I just wanted to get a few opinions on this M3 for sale. I know it's not the highly valued coupe, nor does it have the premium package, or other higher valued options. But id it stays this low of a price, I don't think I can pass it up as my first M car. I also live in Mass so pickup is a breeze! Thoughts?

6 hours to go, seller MIA. Not a good combo. Anyway, car looks good.

I mean it's an M car so plan on maintenance being ~$5k/year and you'll be able to budget in those bulletproofs as you go

Unfortunately i just realized there is most likely a reserve, I don't think it'll sell.

just looking at the BaT pictures. Why is there no red line on the tach like on ZHP's? I just looked through some eBay listings for e46 M3's, and most have red lines, but I see a few without. What's up with that?

The rev limit is actually kept low until the car warms up aswell, i want to say like the 5k range.
