HELP!! Opinions needed on this M3!
I have been looking to purchase a M3 and I have found one on eBay that I would like to buy, just want some current M3 owners options on it. The price is $31.980 and it has 74xxx miles, looks good and legit. Sry but I can't provide a link at this time but if you search on eBay you will easily find it. ( 2008 Jerez black sedan) Please help.

Do yourself a favour, and don't buy an M3 without driving it regardless of price. Don't doubt how hard some M3s are driven. Last year I drove an M3 with about 24,000 miles on it. The clutch was almost completely stripped, I couldn't believe it.

+1, also that car has pretty high mileage and no warranty. What are you going to do if anything goes wrong with that car? Parts are so expensive for an M3.

Also check the carfax before you pull the trigger. You never know what that car has been throught. When the price is to good to be true, there might be somethings wrong with it.

I would find a way to have a PPI done. These cars are for the most part bulletproof but better to have peace of mind.

opinions needed on this car please.
Thanks guys, I will make a post asking if someone will go check it out for me before I proceed further with it, I will also check with the seller to ask if I can get it inspected at a BMW dealer or other shop. Here is the car in question......

Well if you would scroll up the page you would have seen that that's what i am doing, i just edited a previous post with a link to the car and car-fax so previous posters who suggested i do such a thing can see that i have and give some additional advice or an opinion if they have either.....

It's just not possible for me to go test drive the car in person, I simply don't have the time to do so. If I decide to do this it will be on the word of the seller and a second party inspection .........and me taking a chance and trusting both.
