    Question Question about M3 for sale at a dealer

    Seems like the price is rrreeal high, but I'm going to go look at this one...it looks like the right door was replaced and the color wasn't blended. Question is, can anyone with a 'vert confirm or deny whether there should be any kind of factory stickers on the passenger's door jamb? If they should be there, me thinks there was a bit of body work done here...

    Thanks!

    Are you sure its the door that was painted and not the rear quarter panel. To me it looks like the door blends perfectly with front quarter panel, but the back not at alll.

    Yes, I meant the quarter panel but I typed door because I had door on my brain. The missing stickers, if there ever were any, would be a tell tale sign that the quarter was worked on.

    Also, thanks for attaching the pic. It didn't occur to me that people might not want to click on links...it's been a while since I've posted in forums.

    It actually looks like the gas door doesn't match either. That is totally amateur.

    Found it! Looks like a tire/load sticker?



    And, the car in question:

    The tire sticker is on the driver's side, and I don't think that I have seen a sticker on a E-46 in the passenger side.
