i'm no expert but there is no black stripe in the bumpers to start, but a sad end, steelies and no engine by the looks of it.
Still has a fair value like it is though!

It's tidy enough. That'd make a luvvly re-shell shell for someone who chucks their M3 into a wall.

It looks tidy as the oxidisation hasn't been disturbed. Underneath it'll be a festering mass of ripe shite.

Aparently it was stolen/recovered, would explain all the missing parts. Said to be rust free (find that slightly hard to believe) but unfortunately the owner has no intention of selling it.
