Well thought id give you all a little update on my search :- 
I went along to see a E46 M3 today .....& i took along for guidance Bluebro as i am new to the M/// Marque.......& good thing i did !!! 
We arrived at blokes door & after the "Hello's" he showed us around the car ......& already Bluebro's "Eagle" eye was at work .
We took the car for a short drive when Bluebro pointed me in the direction of the petrol station so we could have a better look . Eagle eye at work again Blubro pointed out the back quarter had been re-sprayed .........& the drivers door ......& the front drivers wing ........maybe the bonnet & spoiler .......& the passengers wing too !!!!EEK!EEK!EEK! The "Advertised New discs all round " were to say the least ......eh ! .....not !!! The 4 new tyres were again not .......so with heavy heart i returned the car to the bloke .....when quized about the paint issue he didn't know it had been painted !!!Clown
Had Blubro not been there & pointed out these things i would probably be parting with my hard earned by now  .......so lesson learned "Take somone who knows what to look for in buying one .
So BIG THANKS to Bluebro for his help today Thumbsup .....* the search continues !!!!Thumbsup

Thats the problem, there are a lot of turds lurking about in amongst the good one.

agree with billy tommy take your time no rush had i done that with the first 3 and then the 5 i would have had a better cars for sure bought the first e36 i saw and then did the same with the 5, was smitten with the interior combo in the 5 and because it was black and convinced myself that i would sort the other issuses in time but should have walked away hence why when i was looking this time i was prepared to wait to find the right one although managing to convince the brother in law to buy a five was a stroke of genius but failing that yours would probably be outside my door by now good luck with the search my little friendThumbs Up

Ahh the joys of looking for a second hand car.  I've not had that pleasure for 4 years and that was for the wife.
 
The right one will be out there for you.  What's for you will not go by you.  Any luck with getting punters round to look at yours?

That gold affair made me want to boak when i first saw it last week and the passing of 7 days hasn't made it any better looking. It's only a bawhair away from chrome to my eyes.
 
That seller seems to be sticking to E46 M3s though. He had a pretty special looking Imola Red vert the other week in amongst at least half a dozen others.
 
 
EDIT: He's still got it, along with 21 other M3s (including a very rare Ruby Red one) plus a couple of M5s, M6s and various others.
They're on Ebay. I knew i recognised the garage door from somewhere.

No idea. Does seem a bit odd having 50+ cars all for sale at the same time and all photographed in the same driveway right enough.
 
Has nobody local called his bluff and asked to view one yet?
