Condition

The car is described as a 'drive anywhere M3, sorted and ready to enjoy' with 'serious recent mechanical spend' addressing major wearing items like the fuel pump, starter motor, battery, alternator, and suspension. The exterior and interior are described as 'wearing very well' with only minor imperfections noted like 'light wear to the rim' on the steering wheel, a 'small mark to the outer bolster of the driver's seat,' and a 'small mark on the boot lid.' The alloys are in 'very good order.' The soft-top has 'only light creasing.' This indicates a car that has been used and enjoyed, with some signs of wear consistent with its age and use, but overall in a very good, well-maintained state requiring only minor reconditioning.

It's just returned from the Le Mans Classic weekend, which tells you plenty about how it's used.
