This is Arron the seller of the car, just using Dave's log in as he told me about the thread. Interesting read! Especially from you Mr Absinthe! So as everyone keeps asking, where are all these e46 m3's for £5.5k hiding then??! Oh, and just because it's a cat d it doesn't mean it's an insurance write off, the insurance company didn't pay out for this car as it was returned to the owner how it left him, i.e no accident damage, the reason it's been categorised a cat d is because the vehicle identity had been altered in some way, that's the only reason, but now it has it's original identity back with proof from BMW UK.
And for your information Mr Absinthe I've had a grand total of 42 separate enquiries whether it be by phone call, text, or email for my car in the 3 days that it's been advertised, 2 people want to view it tomorrow and several people want to view it over the weekend, you must be right, it must be well over priced to be getting this amount of interest! We'll see how long it takes to sell eh. But even if it doesn't sell, am I gonna be bothered? No. I'll just make this car our only car in the household and possibly struggle with getting the kids in and out of it all the time, but it would be well worth it.
If I had my way I'd be keeping the car for good as it really is the best car I've ever owned, and I've owned several performance cars from 2 supercharged honda's, pulsar gtir, Toyota supra, several type r honda's, 2 subaru impreza sti's, 2 e36 m3 evo's........ to name but a few. It's clear to see I'm a serious petrol head.
Thanks to Jay and Dave for backing me up on here as to how genuine I am and what a good car this is.
