My First M3, I'm In Love

BMWBryan · 10-24-2015, 09:36 PM

Hey Folks,

I just bought my first M3 today. I have owned a number of BMW's (325is, 328i, 335i), but this car is amazing. I decided to get an E93 (vert) in Alp White on black leather. My M3 is an 09 with 44.5k miles and was bought today with a bumper-to-bumper warranty until May 2019 or 87k miles (which provides great peace of mind) and DCT. I absolutely love the Meisterschaft GT exhaust that came on the car. The sound is simply intoxicating and I've already gotten compliments on it (and I've only had it for about 10 hours). I've been dreaming of this car for a long time, and I've very proud to introduce myself and my new baby.

-Bryan

Congrats and welcome abroad! You will pinching yourself over the next couple days when you start her up, to ensure that you are not dreaming, and that you are indeed sitting behind such remarkable machinery.

Which warranty company is your car covered by?

E46M3forRay · 10-24-2015, 11:00 PM

Congrats. Nice pick up! I remember the first day I picked mine up, everyone was staring.

BMWBryan · 10-24-2015, 11:35 PM

Yeah, even just driving back from LA I kept looking at the "bulge" and listening to the exhaust to remind myself that I was really in that fantastic vehicle.

As far as the warranty, it is provided by Costco. I'm trying to figure out from the paperwork if it's provided by a third party (which is what I would have guessed), but I'm not seeing another company name.

Glad you went with the high revving NA V8. It's an addicting car to drive and an intoxicating sound too.

GVIFlyer · 10-25-2015, 05:45 AM

Pretty car!

apollo322 · 10-25-2015, 05:50 AM

Enjoy! I love mine too

BMWBryan · 10-25-2015, 08:25 AM

I'm curious if you guys think I did well on price. I paid $35k. It's in great shape, with the warranty and the low mileage and exhaust?

CognitiveDistortion · 10-25-2015, 12:32 PM

Beautiful car and that is a solid price especially considering you have warranty.

Merlin_83 · 10-25-2015, 12:39 PM

Congrats ! First ///M3 is really something special, people who know cars - know how amazing any M car is, but the V8 in the E90 series M cars is just incredible

You will find reasons to go drive the car, I did and still do - in the wary and dry mornings of summer in the PNW I get up early and drive the car very early and make a run to a coffee shop 15+ miles away

Amirsm3 · 10-25-2015, 12:41 PM

Between the warranty, mileage and the condition your pictures show, you got a good deal. It honestly depends on your area and what other people are paying - but to be honest, if you're enjoying the car as much as you say - what's a few grand either way for the pleasure?

omegaSMP300 · 10-25-2015, 01:33 PM

Congrats!

Well then welcome also!

I have watched this forum for a while and looked at a lot of pricing and been looking for my perfect m3 for at least 3 months. I am so freaking glad that it is true, I would not mind a couple grand either way, but I honestly feel like I've seen few m3's go for under $40k with <50k miles. I already find myself becoming addicted to the M button...
