New M3 Owner

mike330 · 08-01-2014, 04:13 PM

Just purchased a 2011 M3 Sedan, ZCP and all options. This car was a lease return and has 24000 miles on it. White with black. I went with the double clutch transmission to try something new, I've had manual transmissions forever.
I've been driving BMW's for 25 years, just sold my 2004 ZHP.

Yes, please tell. Almost identical to my car. I'm ready to be jealous of the deal you got…

Beautiful! It hadn't started breathin' hard @ 24K miles lol

I looked around a lot, there weren't really many sedans that were like this around. I only saw one like it and it was on the other coast. I paid 51,500. it's a little on the high side, but was right what my target was. They had it for sale for 54,900 i believe. Dealers were a little more.
I've had to take some really bad quality carbon bits off, thankfully the dealer had the original parts. (Mirror caps, side markers and the hood vents) I need to change the carbon grills, they are really poor quality and not even smooth.

Very nice! Exactly what I was looking for, but the few on the east coast had either Fox Red interior, or had accident histories. I even found one with speed cloth, it was wrecked too. I eventually ran out of paitence and bought a coupe instead. Kind of regret it now.

Glad to see that they are holding their value...a 70k+ car should not be dropping to under 45k in 2.5 years...I think you got a fair deal with low miles and it looks great!!

CONGRATS!!!
