PCD M3??
No way...I'd walk, there's too many other cars to choose from IMO

Wow, this has been a really enlightening experience.
I went from "hey, this isn't a bad price for this car" to, "woa, it's most likely a performance center car, omg gtfo!" I've now been doing research on the performance center cars and it's split pretty much 50/50 (as with everything else like DCT and moonroofs). I guess I'll just take this like any other car purchase, take it for an inspection, and if the price is right and everything checks out, go for it. ...unless anyone here has any actual first hand experience with buying a PC car and not just an opinion. |

Just did performance center delivery for M3. Not only did I beat on my car but I was ENCOURAGED to do so. They really want you to test the limits of your (their) car in a controlled enviroment. It would have to be a really sweet deal for me to bite.

Had my local BMW dealer look up the VIN. It's definitely a PC car. They were able to give me the full history on it and told me everything that was replaced on it.
In theory that shouldn't be all that bad eh? Lots of new parts on a car with low mileage... that was driven to hell and back. I've gotta stop trying to convince myself to buy this car. |

+Performance center car..I don't know man...I personally think you should check around...I would buy a slightly higher mile regular car than a 100% track time car.
