It doesn't say in the ad but it does have a good history but just wondering what your opinions were about the actual price? Just with it being a 94 and a std M3.

thanks!

As an M3 owner and fan, if I was looking for a 3.0 I'd be on a plane to check it out.

Good ones are worth the trip but verify the history with BMW customer services and cross check that with the records 7 service book. Get an HPi done. If all is well then go for it. The 3.0s are pretty bullet proof.

Seems quite expensive to me, considering I paid a grand less for my '96 Evo saloon 6 months ago off PH classifieds.

What is the spec? Mine has almost every option, including pdc, split climate, elec heated seats, sunroof and cruise.

If it's not got (working) aircon, I'd say it was well over.

95k with a fsh, mostly main dealer, recent new OEM dampers and BMW dealer replaced Vanos about 15k miles ago. Runs perfectly and dyno'd at 301bhp at Surrey Rolling Road, which unlike most dyno's is pretty accurate.

It's a very tidy car, but the aircon needed fixing, which cost £100 for the condenser and a pal fitted it.

That really is Evo money. My old 97 Evo saloon resold recently, was advertised under £6k, had 81k miles with FSH and no faults.

That'd need to be an absolute minter of a 3.0 at that money, and you won't know that without looking.

Don't worry about the budget. You buy M3s on condition and history not on price.
