Edit, or even better idea, drive up the coast to Bellevue with the M5 or a farewell tour. Then sell it to Kevin and come home in this:

get that second one, le mans too. Make up a couple K by not spending time searching and hanging out on the mudgeons board

As for the first one, I know most of you guys love sunroofs but deleting the carbon roof to get one

I'd probably just do the LCI trunk lid. They are pretty readily available.

Great specs on the LeMans.

That was my thought too. About as collectable a spec as you're going to find on an e9x M3. The couple of extra up front $$$ Theo might spend would be more than made up when he goes to sell it. Especially considering his low mileage driving routine and his super retentive preventative maintenance approach (compliment). He'd see a very shallow depreciation slope on that one.

Comp package - check
Rare (and widely desireable) color - check
Manual - check
Carbon Roof - check.
Dynamic Dampers - check

and it is close to Kevin's place which makes the m5 transaction even easier. This really seems like one you jump on and make the money work short term before you miss out and regret it for the next year.

Count Lemming too, with his sneaky 996 -> M3 transition

In the long term, I bet that NAV and dynamic dampers are both a negative.

I agree about DD but not the nav. Hell I have the last map DVD BMW made(2015) for my mark IV Nav in my 03 and with the last software update with bisdseye view works just fine. I still use it.

Edit: I agree about those blacklines posted above. Looks good.

Edit Edit: on the comp pkg one josh posted. Did that guy have toxic waste on his hands to make the stick look so warn already. Mine doesn't even look that bad.

Edit Edit Edit: This is what I mean about pricing all over the board. Sure this one has a few more miles but it's loaded and right at 40k. 6k cheaper for an additional 10k or so miles is fine with me since I will make it up as a drive so little. These are basically weekend cars for me.

It doesn't hurt E34 M5s with their fancy M adjustable suspension

I will say my shift knob in the 135 has similar wear. I'm a little surprised by how much. Significantly more than any other BMW shift knob I've used. At least it is a cheap / easy fix if it tickles your OCD

Exactly, that car is a DCT. Take $3k+ off just for that. You can't compare DCT prices to manuals in the used market. Manual shoppers are far more hardcore on what they're looking for... supply/demand.
