Advert is all in capitals, would not buy. ;)

Turn that into an LSB Vert and I'd have a hard time holding back (but my wallet would stop me).

Agreed. I hate it when people write in all caps. Idiots.

Furthermore, the owner doesn't seem very knowledgeable.

"Blood red leather" - umm no.
"PINK IN HAND" - what is this, the fast and the furious? Grow up.
"FULLY LOADED" - not quite. I don't see parking sensors (and who knows what else is missing). Not a big deal, but I hate the misuse of the phrase in every damn ad. Especially prevalent with dealer ads which are not even REMOTELY close to a FULL LOAD. Hate it with a passion.

Photos are clearly from the dealership the owner bought the car from, and are not recent.

And the car is not stock as claimed: colour-matched front-bumper reflectors, different ///M3 emblem on the trunk, different trunk and hood roundels, different hood & side grills, tinted windows, etc. Rear-view mirror is also not original (supposed to be oval, and this one is rectangular). Again, minor, but not what the ad claims.

Damn!

Please don't critique my ads lol.

Silly things bug me... mostly because I remember my frustrations with these things whenever I looked for a car. I'm less of an ass in person :).

The car actually looks quite nice in those photos.

Well... that makes one! haha
Thanks, Dane!

For the record, my dog has a pretty high opinion of me, too.

I think the 03.5+ E46 M3s actually came with the Rectangular Rearview Mirrors..

Hmm... I google'd for a bunch of '05 M3 interior photos and am actually seeing both an oval and rectangular mirror. Interesting... Maybe one or the other became an option in 03.5+?

Their shapes depends on whether or not they are SOS mirrors. At least that's what Sean told me. He has a rectangular mirror in his 2006 M3.

[Pip]

Correct Dario. I have an SOS mirror (bmw assist) which is the rectangle mirror.

Ahh, good to know! There's always something left to be learned about the E46.
