^ Would definitely Civic front clip swap it. Looks mint, interior especially in good condition & it's stick!

Can the gang help provide some feedback on this listing? I'm BMW-illiterate, and any anecdotes about this dealer would be appreciated.

110k miles - the cluster looks like US style cluster.
E46 cab - looks like a new dealer running off the AutoOne showroom.
General E46 - check for oil leaks and any underhood coolant smells (thermostat, expansion tanks are plastic) and make sure the power top is work. Check all functions. Road test on a flatter more even road, see if it tracks anywhere. they generally feel nice to drive, but just make sure it doesnt dart all over the place.
That one can use a set of stock style 68 17" stock wheels (which are a dime a dozen fortunately on fb marketplace) or the factory 18" m sport wheels (cooler design, bitch to clean, bends easily)

have to say it looks quite good and has aged well in the titanium silver.
has leather (which most M sports do anyways here) and the Black M Cubicle trim, which is desirable. looks like a nice car.
if you're very interested, can get Autowest (pre owned building, classic side) to do a PPI. should give you some assurance.
W124 500E... big k, big bucks... but man theyre cool https://vancouver.craigslist.org/nvn...599898729.html

One other thing to add to the list, I don't expect them to do it, but one to consider is VANOS seals. It's pretty cheap and easy to do.
If they did the valve cover gasket already, and you really wanted to nitpick (tho I doubt it would go far in negotiation), check if they used a Victor Reinz gasket. If so, expect to do the job again.

A car owned by an enthusiast would never end up at a private used car lot.
Manual E46s that are not drift cars are tougher to find these days, so I can see the appeal of this example. On the other hand, it might be worth waiting to find that example that spent most of its time on the North Shore or on Vancouver Island, pay a premium for it, and then spend another 2K on it to replace parts that wouldn't have come up during Inspection 1/2s.

Then you will end up with like a $15k e46 worth $5000. Why not start with a e90
