Collector Chassis Comments
This repeat visitor is one of the nicest M3 convertibles we have seen on Collector Chassis. The SMG shifts beautifully and this M3 was owned by just two BMW CCA collectors who meticulously maintain their cars. This car is a head turner that attracts attention wherever it goes. The sale includes service records, all manuals and two keys.
