Sigh. It's Imola...

I love Imola. And still miss my M3C.

One thing that's interesting is that EAG's E90 M3 sedans actually seem to be quasi reasonably priced. They have a perfect spec low mile 2011 in Melbourne Red for $46k. That's not dramatically more than you'd spend elsewhere for that car.

I mean, I'm a bottom feeder in the E90 M3 market, so that's not for me, but...

I was thinking the same thing with the Space Gray one:

Non sequitur: BMW leather really appears to age poorly.

It's the tradeoff of feeling like leather. You lose durability.

That said, I think that their photoshop treatment really makes it look worse.

Welll that was quick... "SALE PENDING"

Theo, did you buy it, or did Nick find $20k under his mattress?

yeah that is nice but agree about the color.

Actually prefer a bit more color in the M cloth seats, e90 are pretty boring looking. I love the e36 crazy looking cloth.

Not me. I'm pretty firm at around $40. I can wait for the car I want. I'm in no hurry.

Some BMW leather seems to age more then others. The E9X M3 seems to be one of them. Even the low mileage cars.
