So I'm on CL browsing m3's

I'm not a m3 expert or anything but

Exhaust is only a single exit as well... M3's are dual they kinda look similar to those on a GR STi.

The description also think it's a 5.0L I6.

It does have an SMG, which I don't think was available on any other 3-series.

Prob has been wrecked, or flooded.

Dunno what other 3 series has an smg? there isn't one. Don't think you can claim a regular 3 is an m given the vin number being attached to model.

Nice work, no one needs to be jipped out of 25k for a 3 series. I think it may be the zhp model which offered the smg and other minor changes.

What sucks is that someone who is a walk-in that doesn't know much about M3s or bimmers will end up with it then kicked in the *** later.
