    Salvage e90 m3. Buy or not?

    There’s an e90 m3 alpine white with 67k DCT that I’m considering buying. I’ve never bought a salvage title but I’m only considering buying because I may be able to get it anywhere from 11-13k. There’s a catch, it is missing all of the m seats because the previous owner took them out, or at least that’s what the guys told me, and it is missing the mirrors. He told me it was salvage because it was in a passenger side collision. Also said he got a PPI and it came out perfect. I’m just afraid something may be wrong with the tranny or frame. But at what price would you consider buying? Or not. And around what price you think I could re sale after let’s just say I put new seats and mirrors? Thanks!

    the only salvage car I'd buy is for a track car, or a parts car, or I was going to keep it forever as a daily driver ... forget resale value. The engine is worth that though, so maybe a good part out
