I was looking at F40 Motorsports website yesterday (Wayne Carini). He/they use similar busy background, at a marina but the lighting is subdued to a point where the car really stands out.

OP's car almost looks like it is a matte finish. I'm guessing that is due to the really bright sunlight.

Also , mentioning you are turning other one in a track car, and that's your reason for selling this one
will make people think this one has been tracked, and when they do that, they will assume it's been tracked and worn to within an inch of it's life..
Which may or may not be true, but you mentioned it, you are throwing that bit of info out there for them

I would not mention such things, it can only make people draw conclusions that do not help you
It's about another car, it's not relevant, don't mention that stuff

If a 911SC with all of 180HP (or a rumored 200) is worth 35-45K nowadays, an S54 M3 is definitely worth that asking price... it is way more fun (i've owned an SC for20y) and revs to 8000! Honestly if I had storage space and it was next door, I'd buy his car all day at that price. A manual conversion is $4000 or so.... The grey interior is not ideal for sure, I hate mine... mine is even worse as it's a cabrio and I cannot replace the seats at all...they are unique with the seat belt built in ! Every M3 post E46 is heavy or turbo or both... It's sort of "the last air cooled" syndrome, BMW style ;-)

Besides knocking out the ALL CAPS, it should read 'Brakes bled' not 'Brakes bleed'.

Is the car in Louisiana or Charleston, SC? cuz the map says Louisiana. That might slow down a potential buyer.

Charleston, SC. I did not notice that.

Edit: i’ve verified the ZIP Code several times and it does not reflect the correct location.

If the weather is nice, I’ll try to take some more pictures with better lighting, less shadows, swap out the dildo for the stock shifter and move the seats up. Looking online at other E46 M3 coupes with the SMG, it looks like I’m in the ballpark for condition and price.

I just need that one person…

Edit: if you are on Facebook, you can see it here. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1103820057040212/

Small market with Craigslist. Only enthusiasts are looking for these cars these days. Autotrader might expose you to a larger market.
