Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1988 BMW M3 is a modified example with a rebuilt engine and several performance upgrades, presented in a non-factory red finish. While it boasts desirable features and a clean Carfax report (despite a mileage inconsistency), visible cosmetic flaws on the spoiler and hood, along with an unknown true mileage, suggest it requires some attention.
Condition
7
The car has been repainted and shows some cosmetic flaws like a scratch on the rear spoiler and chips on the hood. The odometer reading is also questionable due to a mileage inconsistency noted on the Carfax report. However, the engine was rebuilt and several mechanical components have been recently replaced or upgraded, and the interior has been retrimmed.
