If I could pull it off, I would. But, right now, that's still too rich for me.

Nice car. I would have liked manual sport seats, but nice. I also don't care for those wheels, but that's an easy (though expensive) fix.

While I can still get an E90 M3 for 55K through ED, the M3 is the leading contender. 55K is my absolute ceiling (excluding sales tax) and only for a new car like the M3 that will require $0 in repairs and maintenance for years. Otherwise my budget drops to $50K max. This is all for next spring at the earliest.

Nice (and in the only color other than LeMans Blue that I'd consider), but next spring I'd be gettin a new 2010. And if I wait until the Fall, it would be a 2011 - and just the way I like it AND doing ED.

For me to consider a used M3 (and by next spring an '08 would be 2 years old with only 2 years of warranty left), I'd have to spend no more than $45K if not less.

If that were silver, I'd probably already own it. White is not good for me.

You could get a CPO...

Wrong color, wrong dealership. Blah.

Yeah. I've heard (probably here) that they won't really negotiate on price. Annoying.

I thought there were no CPO M3's?

They won't negotiate on price, their price is almost always way too high, and the majority of cars I've seen there have been resprayed. Poorly.

Their sales force is also very aggressive. Not a huge fan.
