2) the markets for these are quite different dependign on location. i'm in MN...m3's are very uncommon here. nearest used one for a while now is chicago. these cars are much cheaper and more abundant in warmer climates.

i overpaid for mine and had to jump on it immediately. but, don't really care about the $ side of it. the car is way too much fun...once you drive it...you forget all about it and just enjoy.
based on what I have seen I don't think you overpaid. helped my girl buy an 08 M3 with over 40k miles in December. She paid high 30s and I think she got a great deal. Bought it in FL, had it shipped to WA.

You can't find an E92 M3 in the PNW for a good price. A 2008 with 8k miles would sell for mid to high $40s here, no problem. Geography plays a huge role, as you mentioned.
