Buyer-facing read on this listing

This 2004 BMW M3 coupe is finished in Mystic Blue Metallic over Grey Nappa leather and is powered by a 3.2-liter inline-six linked with a swapped six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. A Supersprint exhaust system and Bilstein PSS10 coilovers have been installed, and additional equipment includes the Premium Package, 18″ M double-spoke wheels, a power sunroof, xenon headlights, Park Distance Control, power-adjustable front sport seats, a Harman Kardon sound system, and automatic climate control. The car was registered in California from new, and it was acquired by me on BaT in December 2024 and subsequently moved to Austin, TX. RTABS’s and FCAB’s repaced under my ownership. Black cube trim was taken from another e46 and installed into the interior. The Rod Bearings and Vanos system are brand new. I also had it recently swapped to its current 6 speed manual transmission. New Clutch as well. All work since my purchase in 2024 done by George Hill of Hill Performance Bimmers. Message me if interested! 713 806 1617

This ask is running about $5,173 over the comparable average, so spec, provenance, and presentation need to justify the premium.

Photo coverage is reasonably deep at 6 images, which helps with judging cosmetics and seller transparency before leaving VINthusiast.

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.
