M3 Inspection Help in Dallas

1trip5 · 10-08-2011, 09:59 PM

Hi all, looking for some assistance. I need a BMW (M3) specialist to accompany me to a local Dallas car auction to look over a vehicle with me prior to purchase. There is an inspection day prior to auction so the time is somewhat flexible.

The story:
It's an E46 that took a hit to the rear end. All that "appears" to be wrong is some minor rear end damage. Rear bumper is missing and exhaust is kind of drooping down. The car was given a salvage title which is not always indicative of frame damage (especially on older expensive vehicles). I need someone with a keen eye for frame, rear end, axle, and driveshaft damage. Basically I need someone to tell me how much trouble this car is going to get me in money-wise.

I'll be contacting some of the local BMW specialist shops within a day or two to see if I can hire somebody, but I just wanted to find out if anyone on here knows a person that is willing to do it.

Willing to negotiate compensation and lunch is on me. PM me for more details. Appreciate it.
