My old m3

[remix405]

So last night I was in the bathroom handling business. I usually like to surf the web when I'm in there so I was looking at this website it's a salvage auction iaai.com where me and my pops buy salvage cars fix them and sell them. Well it happens I was looking at m3s when all of a sudden I scroll down and see my old pride and joy on there take a look at the pics I'm thinking of heading up north to go buy it and rebuild it just sad to see my old car with so much hard work go to waste

I guess the car got stolen and the assholes who stole the car crashed it into a curb and fleed.

Before when I had it



And now






And the main reason I know this was my old m3 the parrot,pioneer in dash, hand brake handle and the s2000 start button in this pic match exactly



Sorry for the rant just thought this was crazy

Damn, what a bummer. I love me some E46 goodness...

Is that Laguna Seca Blue?

[remix405]

Yup my fav color for the e46, I'm really thinking of going to the auction to bid on it... It's going to need suspension work, new front and rear bumper the wheels will need to get rebarrel and new lips.

Did they make you take off the front bumper or it jsut fell off or something or was it too low to get onto the truck. The only thing I see are dented rims?

I sold the car last summer to some guy from San Francisco he flew down to LA to pick it up and I just happen to stumble upon it last night on the auction website the passenger rear suspension is fucked it hit a curb so the control arms are likely bent

what do you usually pay for something like this at an auction?

Looks nice still, even when the bumpers r hanging off.

What a waste. That would be sweet to get it back and fix it up. Costly, but would totally be worth it. Can't let a car like an M3 go to waste.

Funny you mention about the curb thing. We have a brand new 2012 Mustang Boss 302 at work with 245km on it. It's been spun out. Side skirt, rear diffuser and exhaust tip all have scratches and damage on them which would match a cub or ditch hit.

Crazy thats just crazy shaking my damn head. I know supposedly the car to watch out for is the mustang that looks almost stock called the california special mustang. I ran one and took him from the launch he tried to reel me in he was about a 3 cars behind me I hear that car surpasses the challenger.

[remix405]

Im estimating the final price is going to be 5-7k at auction if the Armenians are there then it's going to be closer to 7k they love BMW specially rare colors like laguna seca blue, in repairs I'm expecting to spend 2-3k

Yeah I know that's why I'm going to try and get the car back

The California Special is, and has always been since the '60s, just an appearance package available on the GT. It's got the same 412hp 5.0 V8 as the standard GT.
