1999 BMW M3 - Hellrot on Black 138k Miles $14k

I love this car and I believe it could be "worth" the price to the right buyer. However, even if I had the money, I'd be torn between this and spending a little bit more on an e46

A little more?  I bought my E46 M3 for 12,000 and it's in pretty good shape overall.  The only things that have actually broke since I bought it is an 02 sensor and a timing chain tensioner.  Everything else has been mods or preventative maintenance.  The myth of all E46M's costing at least $20k either up front or in repairs is complete bullshit.  You just have to be smart about which car you buy.

And rod bearings and valve adjustments and ripping subframes and routine alternator changes and front differential weepage and rubber deteriorating interior. I could go on and on.  Its a BMW, its going to fall apart and need maintenance.   We bought my mom's E46 M3 for $14k 8 years ago and it was very very good to us, they are definitely not $20k cars, but they are definitely maintenance intensive!

Have a pretty serious buyer at $13k (MM/friend pricing), just waiting on his car to get picked up from a buyer.  Otherwise I would be on BAT/CL/Facebook.  Right now its just on MM, word of mouth, and RRAX.  If I dont have cash by Sunday night itll be up on BAT/CL, I just didnt want to deal with scum till I was forced to...
