Man e90 m3 sedans are well under 30k now even with low miles... still quite a gamble but :notbad:
I really want to test drive one of those sometime. It's sort of like the higher end version of my car.

Yea I think you wouldn’t be too bad of a candidate for this vehicle. You can do most basic things yourself ... and pay some shop $2000 to swap the rod bearings every 70k or so. Not too shabby for having the only V8 powered m3 gen made

These are cool cars. They're getting to the 3-4-5 owner stage, so that's generally when things really start to go downhill. But you could probably find a 2-3 owner one for cheapish. $30k sounds pretty solid for one of the best driving vehicles of it's day. Aside from the crank bearings is there anything else on these that'll :nuke: a wallet? Kind of like porsche IMS... just replace it right off the bat and you're going to be clear for as long as you own the vehicle, factor it into the cost to buy.

I'm :notsure: about longevity on the DCT, but haven't researched it. The rod bearing thing isn't too bad since there is a permanent solution available from the aftermarket. Still, it's triple to quintuple the cost of my car... :waxer:

Yeah that's the hard part. Is it 3-4x better than your car? Some may say yes. If solely looking as an autocross car then IDK probably not.

Also have no idea on the DCT. I doubt it's a cheap piece of equipment to repair / replace though.

Pretty car doe.
If it had the dct it would be purrrfect. I don’t think the :Manuel: makes sense in this car.

I really do like my current car a lot, even considered special ordering one since they don’t make em
Anymore

The options on it are :fullretard: $5600 for exhaust and another $1500 for a rear diffuser no one sees. 7k basically set on fire
On top of that 5600 for a special color and 1500 for some special interior trim I can’t even tell it has... :wtf: this car has literally over 14k in useless options no one can tell it has

Wonder what the :dill: with this one is... I know that :dillerman: they put low non negotiable prices up and are all about volume, they got tons of inventory, all B quality off lease vehicles.
Man m3 prices are going to TANK once the 16s/17s come off leases. Ain’t nobody buying them used and so many people got great leases 15-17

Sorry missed that. 85 is steep and certainly not at all rational. Nice car, over priced and as noted plenty of M3's out there for far less that do the same thing!

So manual = DCT lol. Id offer them 42k. They probaby gave 40 or less for that. No shortage of 15's for sale from what I see online etc. At this age now over 3 years the low miles dont mean that much at all. Just getting older by the day.
