If one can guess, they probably got a boatload of inquiries on it even with the piss poor presentation despite being at a ultra high-end dealer like Bentley of Indianapolis. 5 owners is rough. About to be 6. Car has seen multiple parts of California, Las Vegas, Chicago, Maryland and currently in Indianapolis. No accidents reported on Carfax, though.

It has no accidents on the carfax but during my inquiry, I noticed the rear diffuser was black plastic, as far as i'm aware every CS has a carbon rear diffuser. That kind of put me off on the car, because I do not see why that would be unless the rear of the car was damaged.

Am I the only one that find it odd that there is zero service records up until 39k miles? I know people can do their oil changes and DIY most routine things but not even having the break-in service is pretty odd.

I went to look at it today. Definitely a driver's car. Rear lip spoiler has failing gel coat so I assume it sat outside. Front splitter is also banged up.

I’ve seen it driving around town a few times but never up close - it was also for sale used at Hendrick BMW Northlake in 2022 with 36k miles.

Damn, <C/S.

That anyone would pay that price or anything close to it for a stripped down CS is just hard to believe. Imagine that one would like to return it to actual CS condition...at a minimum you're looking at the hood, front lip, seats, 763M wheels, etc. If you bought them new, that totals close to $20k. I'd also assume there is a massive hidden story behind this whole car as the condition that you can asses in the low res pictures is awful at best.

You’ve heard about OEM+, this is OEM- . $2600 in upgrades, but how much in downgrades They even took the center console but left seatbelt and CS vent. I guess they didn’t want to go full poser lol.

Just looked at it on Carvana and they really did a number on this thing and replaced it with all base model parts. I’m sure Carvana gave them CS money on the trade in too. This is proof Carvana will take literally anything.

That white CS is plain fraud by somebody. Reminds me of that GTS from a few years back which was ruined in the same way. Disgusting.

I remember that GTS haha, it’s still floating around between dealers to this day. Unfortunately in the past 3 months I’ve seen probably 5 M3CS’s that have had a lot of the CS specific parts taken, I will attach pics if I have them. (Only found a few, also threw in a stripped M5CS that was posted about 2 hours away from me at a buy here pay here type of dealer in Southern Oregon.

It seems to a pretty common sight seeing these cars parted out nowadays, along with a frightening amount of these cars that have been on the market in the past 1.5 years having multiple accidents reported, title brands, 4+ owners, or being clapped out with alibaba parts. Bonus points for all of the above which I’ve seen too many times
