You cant ask for carfax on the board anymore, its against the rules.

As far as the car, looks good but price is a little steep for an 02. Plus if you care about xenons, this car does NOT have them. Make sure that bearing recall was done, if owner does not know, get a VIN and get any service adviser at any bmw dealer to pull it up and check. If it hasn't been done, run away from it because its a ticking time bomb at this point.

Just a thought to keep an eye open for M3s in SoCal. There seems to be deals out there if you watch close enough. Have you checked e46fanatics?

+1 on the price being steep for that car, i'd think it to be worth at least more around the $23k-25k range, also there are no pictures of the interior (aside from the 1 shot of the smg shift knob), which is usually a bad sign, nonetheless seeing it in person would fix that problem
