Anyone familiar with the 2 E90 M3's at BMW Seattle?

BMW Seattle has 2 '08 M3 sedans currently. I went and drove one of them today. Curious if anyone on here is familiar with them? Previous owners or any info at all?

They both appear to be auction cars so most likely out of state.

The lower mileage '08 I test drove had Washington plates in the trunk, so it's local.

Not sure on the other one.

I haven't pulled Carfax on either yet, but I will when I get to work tomorrow.

If you Google the VIN # - the CARFAX is actually available to look at. It shows that they are both 1-owner vehicles. The higher mileage, lower priced one is listed on the CARFAX as a 'corporate' vehicle and it looks like it came from Oregon (Lithia BMW of Medford). The lower mileage, higher priced M3 was imported from Germany and sold in Spokane (Lithia Camp Chevrolet/Cadillac).

When I was in the market a couple months ago, I checked out the lower-priced vehicle, but was a little concerned about it being a corporate vehicle. In reality, it was probably someone who just registered the car under his/her business to get a tax write-off and me just being overly cautious. Good luck!

All I remember about them was all the swirls in the paint. Previous owners were probably big fans of the Costco car wash...

The higher mile/cheaper one has all the options I want and none of the options I don't want. The lower mile/more expensive one has a few extras I don't care about, but has the nice 19's. I like the fact that the higher mile one has 3M on the hood and a few other places.

I'm gonna guess it was someone who registered it via their business as well.

That's probably just due to their free car washes when being brought in for service. I dropped my 335i off at BMW Seattle for some work last year when I had it. It looked a little roughed up when I picked it up. Either way, that shit can be remedied.
