just found a 99 M3 in Estoil Blue for $6000 but semi stripped. front/back bumpers and sideskirts are gone. passenger and rear seats are gone. missing drivers side fender. surprisingly nothing is wrong with the engine. 42026 miles. i'm going to go look at it this sat and wondering what you guys think.

Car $6000
Seats $1000 (Ebay)
Fender $250 (Dealer)
Bumpers and Side Skirts $1250 (eBay or Dealer)
Paint $1000 (Shop)

Grand Total: $9500 +/-

those seats better be MINT condition since he only needs one vadar (expensive) and rears (cheap). It's a great way to start modding your car because your front and rear bumpers and sideskirts are gone.

negator...S52 drive lines are going for much less.

I'd say 4k or so...Either way, if its not wrecked, rebuild, don't strip.

Odds are its a salvage.

Make sure what you listed is whats only wrong with the car. You might be in for a different surprise. Just make 100% sure you know what you need to repair.
