...spent money on stickers and badges instead of taking care of the car...

Unfortunately that’s going to be more and more commonplace at E46s hit the bottom of their depreciation curve. Same reason finding a clean E36 M3 is so damn hard.

I wanted to go look at it , but I had the same thoughts as everybody in here , the badge the stickers on the side. The swap reliability

Oof, SMG to 6MT swap but kept the SMG steering wheel. At least you could sell the old wheel to someone on M3forum who needs a rewrap core.

Couple of things:
(1) as Mystic really a rare color on the M3? I thought it was pretty common, where Topaz would be the rare blue.

(2) if you plan to keep the ZHP (or at least keep it for a little while) then for $9.5k that has potential to be a nice car with a little work, and assuming everything else checks out.

Edit: isn’t there a service interval around this mileage? It could be due for several things, which I assume the seller hasn’t taken care of based on the other things previously mentioned (Vanos, valve adjustments, suspension is probably toast, etc.). The S54 is definitely a different beast, and is the reason I decided on a ZHP—my budget certainly allowed for an E46 M3, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to deal with having one as my only car.

Testing the drone for rolling shots without anyone’s help!

I’ve been thinking about doing this too… Any pointers? I’ve got a DJI Mavic Pro.

Master active track in an empty baseball field and learn how you can control hour drone’s angles and altitude as it constant tracks you as you walk around the field. Once you get that you’ll want an open space for car shots until you learn the drone’s AI more. You’ll want to fly where you can run the camera at max 1/60 of shutter although 1/30 is preferable. To get that shot without over exposing you’ll need to either wait until it gets dark enough or purchase ND filters for the lens.

Cool, thanks. I've been thinking about getting a set of ND filters. Maybe I'll just pick ip a set so I have more flexibility in the time of day at which I can shoot.

So you have the Mavic? I was actually thinking about using the waypoints feature, not active track, because I thought active track has a limit to how fast it can go. I've seen some online tutorials/ videos; the drone is always too far away from the car, and it often can't keep up or loses track of the subject. I was thinking of using waypoints to set a fixed path and then just drive the predetermined route.

You barely need any speed to get a blurred motion background. The one I did was 1/60 at under 10mph. I know 1/30 would be even greater. At much farther distance you will need longer shutter or faster motion.
