    Purchasing an M3

    Hello everyone, I currently own a ‘01 330i and am upgrading to an ‘05 M3. It is a manuel 6-speed with a soft top. Just some questions I had were what to look for mechanically wise once I purchase it, and where I could possibly find a hardtop. I live in Chicago and have rough winters so I want to rid the soft top. Anything will help!

    It has 102k miles and seems to be in mint condition.
