Someone on FB already did a PPI for this E46 and posted the results. For those that are interested here it is:

Private group on FB so we most of us probably can’t see. Can you post the highlights? Presumably they didn’t buy...

As per the FB post:

"FYI to anyone who might be considering this E46 touring

I came across this wagon, and besides the hot boy stuff (halos, M stripes, tint) the owner added, I really wanted it. After texting back and forth with the owner for a few weeks I finally got a few more photos and some of my questions answered. I learned that the work done on the car was 'done with a buddy'. Ok, how bad can it be, right?

The price is certainly on the high side and I assumed that reflected the condition of the car. Ha, nope. After reviewing the photos I noticed the exhaust was not stock. The owner admitted it has a muffler delete. Some trim is also falling off and I found out the owner only has 1 key. Nothing too major, so I proceeded to have a PPI done at a local Denver Euro shop.

Last night I heard back from the tech and that was probably the best $60 I spent. Here's what was found:

Tamper dot on cluster,

guibo cracked

both rear camber arms bent

rr output seal, rear diff

PS pump small leak

Foglights installed no plugged in

missing underpanels and fender liners

Rear exhaust mount not mounted

LF sway bar end link

Front tires toe wear/ need replaced

Oil filter O ring leaking

License plate light mount not fully mounted

ABS module fault

CEL for Secondary air flow

EBOX fan error

Tank leak diag code

Oil level sensor

May need front rotors, vibration under braking

sunroof not working/ won't close

Nothing too major, but a far cry from the owner's claim that 'everything works as it should'. The work needed isn't difficult, but the time and money spent finding the correct parts makes it not worth it. If you're looking at this car, I already did the PPI for you. Proceed with knowledge."

Wow and now looks like someone bought it from the guy in Denver and is trying to flip it and sell in California before even acquire the car...

Good find. That will be a $5,500 profit, assuming it sells for $15,000.

Wow, it's a dreamy setup car. A s54 would've made it my dream car for sure. But the new asking price is something else to think about, sigh.

[FungShui]

They dropped it to 13k.

And something else to consider; other things were left out, such as the shadowline trim, M-Tech II rear bumper, and black headliner. Those are very hard to find and as a result, it's an incomplete conversion. For that much money, I would expect all of those things to have been done.

Just noticed it has natural brown MANUAL seats.
