if he paid cash and no trade and no finance, it would have been a really smokin' deal. He probably got it $3k off market price.

Not sure what the MSRP was, probably mid to high 60's with those options. Similar to what I would have ordered if buying new. I'd rather now have all the electronic gizmos to break in the future and weigh the car down.

Paid cash so no interest to tack on. Will probably be looking to extend the warranty before it expires in October 2014. BMW sent the title on Monday so I went to do the ttl today. Grand total was $50,879.50

Slightly over the cap of $50K that I intended to spend. When I started looking earlier this year I really wanted a 2011 with less than 20K miles but figured I'd have to settle on a 2009 or 2010 with low miles on that budget. Was looking in a 500 miles radius, which includes Houston, Dallas, Atlanta but found this deal locally and on this forum.

Purchased 04/12 from dealer
2011 E93, 09/2010 production date
19,400 miles
JB/Silver Novillo, DCT, Premium, Tech, PDC, EPS, premium wheels, heated seats...fully loaded
$54,000 + ttl

The only flaws I found were some rock chips and a refinished right front wheel (about a 2 inch long area that looked to be curb rash that was smoothed over). Also some scuff marks and swirls I will be able to remedy. Not a steal, but I'm happy!

Thoughts? Looks like an OK deal - car was spotless and practically new. But now i'm having second thoughts as a 2013 lease would've been much less per month, and I'm not sure I can match BMW's residual in 3 years of ~61% MSRP in the private market.

entertaining the idea of getting a 2013 m3, options etc don't matter too much to me. perhaps targeting an outgoing model at the end of the summer. anyone have thoughts on when the best time is and what is the best price you think i could get for a m3 that's just sitting on the lot?

Thanks!

I have have a similiar question related to best time to buy. I plan to buy a 2009-10 E90 sometime in the next six months. I started occasionally looking at what was for sale last fall and I noticed that supply went down over the winter, now its coming back up to about where it was last last fall. I'm not sure if that was due to the normal seasonal pattern of when people choose to buy/sell a car, or related to the timing of leases ending or what. There seems to be a lot more 2008's and 2011's on the market than 2009-2010's which I'm assuming is related to those being highest production years, but I'm not sure if the level of 2009-2010 will go up much more over the next year.

Anyone have any thoughts on best time of year to buy or level of inventory on the market? Part of my issue is that I'm not in a huge hurry to buy, being fairly particular regarding what I want, as well as being in an area of the country where there isn't a whole lot of M3's. I guess I could buy a 2011, but they seem to be significantly more expensive than the 2009-2010 for little actual difference.

I went to see an E90 M3 today and the dealer was asking for $54,000. It's a 2011 with 28,000 miles. Options are Premium, Tech, DCT, EDC, 19's, ipod, and Sunroof. Do you think that is a fair price?

Thanks in advance for the help.

You would have never seen a 2009 in 2010 go for that much. Crazy how much these cars depreciate over time, like with most cars.

Yes, it really is crazy how much cars depreciate. That is why I insist on buying used. I don't think I would buy new even if I had $$ burning a hole in my pocket... unless it was a car that held value really well or I planned on keeping it forever, like a Ferrari or exotic. But to each his own.
