Too good to be true?

Monte carlo blue e90 m3 sedan clean title 29k miles with remaining warranty and such a cheap asking price. If so, someone buy this thing so I don't have to daydream over it... lol

look harder...the 2nd pic with the driver side hood does NOT line up with the fender above the headlight

A lot of things can slip through carfax, it's not 100%. Clean title can also mean it was not salvaged, but car could've been in an accident but not reported/made it to the database for whatever reason

A lot of m3's come out of the factory with slight misalignment with the hood and bumper, it's totally normal since the body parts are assembled by machine

nvm, all figured out. The car originally came in Mellbourne red, the owner probably repainted monte carlo blue. So the misalignment must be from the body shop removing certain panels/parts

probably someone who saw my thread lol. I still think the asking price is a bit high for a car that was resprayed. The fact that it was repainted makes the car real skeptical...

I can't agree with you more. The fact that the car has been resprayed raises alot of questions. Do you what the asking price was? I cannot say it in the ad anymore
