Don't know if it's possible, but I'm asking if someone near the Canton, OH area could check out this M3 for me.

It would have to be done before 10/22/06, as the auction ends on that day.

Here's the dealership:
http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Tmap&addr=1423+W+Tuscarawas+Street+&csz=Canton+OH+&Get%A0Map=Get+Map

I'd pay whoever $50.00 US (paypal), regardless if I win the auction or not, to test drive it and give me an honest opinion of how it drives, what dents there are, etc.

Can someone lend a hand to a bimmerforums friend?

Much obliged. thx

i would do it but its over 4 hrs. away. sorry i cant help out

If the dealership is open later at night, say till 7 at night. I could swing down thursday night, take some pics, and drive it around for yea. I promise not to smoke the tires too much. If you can give me the dealership hours, and what you want me to do. Ill try to help yea out.

Here are the hours.

If you can make it, I thank you.

Basically, I'm looking to know about front hood/bumper paint chips, dents, dings, scratches on exterior/interior. Anything broken. How's the clutch? Tranny? Radiator neck? How does it handle? Does it pull to one side when braking? Any brake squeals? I guess the whole kit and kaboodle.

Maybe pretend like you were going to buy it. Does that help?

($50 bucks worth of effort) :)

Oh, hell...

They pulled the auction. No need to go out of your way now. I'll PM you as well. Thanks for volunteering, though.

damn that looks like a nice car.
