Need a favor in Raleigh - inspect an E92 M3

I am looking at purchasing an E92 M3 from Atlas Motors in Raleigh, NC. I live in Southern California, and am hoping one of you fine individuals would be willing to swing by the dealership, and take a look and test drive it for me.

I want to look at the interior and exterior for excessive or out-of-the-ordinary wear and tear and anything that stands out.

Your time would be greatly appreciated and I would be happy to compensate your time with a gift card or something like that.

Also if any can recommend a good BMW repair shop in Raleigh for a Pre Purchase Inspection that would be great too!

I don’t have any experience with them personally, but North Raleigh Performance is a popular BMW shop. Would likely be a good spot for the PPI.

Atlas is my go to BMW indy shop. I have had several major maintenance items done to my 335iS and Macan S there, as well as having purchased a Z4M from them. They are incredibly honest guys and do all the required maintenance in house before listing their cars. Have no fears about buying from them. BTW, i’ve seen the grey 6MT M3 in person. Super clean! If you’d like, I can give you Dan’s (sales manager) number and I’m sure he’d be willing to facetime you and show you around the car.

If you’re still persistent on a ppi, have it taken to NRP

Thanks for the information. I did talk to Dan and he did a full walk-around video, very thorough and a great guy. I also had them take it to NRP for a PPI, they were great also! We are still negotiating but I don't think we are going to come to an agreement. It does need some major bodywork on the rear bumper, the tires are old, and it needs a few more things.
