Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1988 BMW M3, finished in Salmon Silver Metallic with Cardinal Red interior, features a rebuilt five-speed manual transmission, BBS wheels, and Ground Control coilovers. Despite its desirable E30 M3 platform and a history of mechanical attention, it has noted cosmetic flaws and a past insurance total loss declaration due to an accident.
Condition
4
The car has several cosmetic issues, including improper panel gaps, blemishes around the body, and missing fender liners. The coolant temperature gauge and overhead lights do not work, and the taillight bulbs are indicated as inoperative by the overhead check panel, although they do function. The Carfax report also notes a past accident where the car ran off the road and struck a tree, resulting in it being declared a total loss.
