Worth less than my STi and only 16k miles. :lolol: Talk about the ultimate depreciation machine. Gorgeous, doe, sort of want it.
Whoa whoever got that OEM also got a bunch of "M" bedazzlement options like the $800 mirror caps, the $400 door sills and that $800 black skirt ~55k MSRP new. :mindblown: Oddly enough it doesn't have the M sport wheels doe...
1 owner no bad history, I wonder why it didn't end up as a CPO?

And this is why I lease these things. Mine was "worth" 38,500 on my trade in, with 30,300 miles, and a nigerian on the carfax.
Oh yeah good call they're the sport line wheels. Maybe he hit a crub and this was the cheapest way to replace? I do love the single lonely Kumho tire :foreveralone:

Looks good otherwise
Yeah, isn't the oil change interval supposed to be 10k on these? 7 quart sump and BMW specs LL01 oils with shit loads of additives, but 15k is a long time.
Yeah I thought it was 10k max. It's in warranty though :iono:

Yet I get shit for "used" OEM tires that match. Cum-Ho tires don't even come as run craps in that size etc/which are OEM equipment... there must be some story with this car... it is from california ... in georgia... not a dealer... with super low miles... should be a CPO at a :dillerman:

I think those are the wheels that come with the blue M Sport brakes. I'm wondering the same thing re:why it wasn't certified. Plus, the car's been all over the place. First dealer took delivery in Texas, it passed a California inspection 4 months later, was serviced in Savannah 2 years later, then sold at auction and now it's in Indiana. :dafuq:

No.... it is something else...
This looks like a demo vehicle... maybe that's what it is... it literally has every single stick on you can get... at least 4k worth... including the fucktory tune and power package... that bumps it 20hp or something...

As a 3rd owner of my 335i Fake Sport....
My car needed a new door lock in the front
And it had a sensor changed in the shocks
other than that it was fine... I did 1 oil change I believe... after 13-14k miles it used 0 oil which is :impressive: ? Can't :member: exactly since I gave exactly 0 fucks and only followed the BMW recommendation.

Interesting... so it looks like BMW is flooded with their lease bullshit.... they must be bleeding from this shit left and right... anything leased from 14-17 is just completely overvalued on their balance sheet, and coming in as a loss every time they transact :shock:

Yea dude... $450 a month is not how much it costs to "own" a 55k MSRP vehicle the actual figure is easily double.
Sames goes for my M3.... Literally, i make a payment and BMW loses as much as I pay them every month on their side. :gaydance:

These days, I enjoy driving the Volt more. Even more than the truck believe it or not. Driving on the surface of the moon, 95% in bumper-to-bumper traffic, a small, "zippy" (0-40, which is most of my drive is :lolol: ), one-pedal drive EV is really nice.
