Is this a scam???

I was searching to buy a bmw m2 competition and I found one with a great price.I found it on autoscout24 and emailed them right away because there was not a phone number. They replied in a couple of days and said that they just got the car, you can read the email in the pic now has anyone ever bought a car from them and if so do you have a phone number where I can reach them.
Their Email address is ah-profi@autoexport.gmbh
Thank you in advance to anyone who will help.

I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

That sounds a little fishy.

It's been a very very long time but, be cautious! It's wise to verify before making any deals.

I'd be cautious about deals that seem too good to be true. Instead of emailing, try looking for a phone number to establish direct contact. Speaking of which, call monitoring tools, like those discussed at https://www.mightycall.com/features/call-monitoring/, can be handy for ensuring transparent communication in various scenarios.

Has to be a scam
Questionable English, no phone number, asking for enough docs to commit ID fraud. I see nothing but big fat red flags here…
