This E30 M3 carries a clean accident free title.Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Lots of additional photos, videos, and documentation available upon request.

Price sits close to the current comparable average, so the decision will come down to condition, provenance, and how complete the file is.

Photo coverage is still thin at 1 image, so presentation quality is harder to judge without opening the source listing.

Documentation still reads thin here, so this is the kind of listing where invoice detail and specialist history should drive the next round of diligence.
