I feel they hold there value better and you get the latest updates for that model.
Eh. The $10-15k cheaper '08 will hold its value just fine relatively.

So, it's actually a BMW dealer that manages to present itself as a scary used car lot. Not sure how I feel about that.

It's a one owner car and has so many records because they reported everything they did to it to Carfax (and sold it new).

Ended up pinging them. Will be interesting to see if I can get them to move on price.

I'm curious why they've struggled to sell it in the over three months that they've had it listed, though.

And lastly I would really like to stay around 40ish. For the perfect one I could see up to maybe 44.

The rest is negoshable.

Unicorn??
Yes unicorn.


Was le mans even a standard color? I thought interlagos was the only standard blue.

I was going to try to get my Dad to buy it in LA, but then you said you didn't want to sell it to anyone you "knew."

Something like this with a manual please.

Quick question - did the coupe LCI to the white halo rings not get to the M3?

For something as recent as you want, don't forget to use BMWUSA's pre-owned search function.

there are more coupes available than Sedans too, so that should help a lot in finding what you are looking for.

m3post.com seems like the best message board classifieds I've come across.

Keep an eye on BMWCCA classifieds too, although those usually are premiumly priced

A lot of people are terrified of a car that "old".

You know the mechanical "issues" and could be pro active.

Most people would be hard pressed to own a car that is basically 10years old?
