For benchmarking purposes, I picked one up here in California. 2011.5 Alpine White/Fox Red, 65k miles, 6 speed, ZCP, heated manual seats, slicktop for 35k. Only mod that came on it was an MPE. Throttle actuators done, however, rod bearings are due. Car also came with an easycare warranty.

Curious to know how many there were that year in this combination, couldn't find the thread outlining it.
Nice to see this to benchmark my car. Almost the same car/mileage, but mine's DCT and has non-heated electric seats. Congrats on the purchase!

Did you pick up this car from Derek? I inquired last year, def one of the best specs build for this year. Nice pick up.
Following. I have an MR zcp 6mt. Prolly Not a unicorn but a Rare bird nonetheless. No plans on selling. Came close once before. But prolly keeping.

Was this the 3rd Derek?!


There is a Derik in Palo Alto with a nonZCP 2011 AW/FR 6MT slicktop
and then Me (Derek) with nonZCP 2011 AW/Blk 6MT slicktop

I remember there was a 3rd Derek with a 2011 AW/FR ZCP here in the area.. hahah

What are the odds..

Congrats man. Def a rare spec for sure. Wonder why they guy sold it. Seems he didn’t own it long.
The gentleman who sold it to me has a gated 430, gt3 touring, and a zanardi NSX in his garage :)

The e90 was the poor child in the rain and I made a joke about buying it on my birthday, and he needed to make room on the driveway for another tesla.

The interest in this car was insane, it was on my IG story and I received over 10 dm's asking the posting origin of this car.

Just posted in BAT, a 2011 ZCP 6MT. Rod bearings done and even a MFactory CF driveshaft. Interior looks great! Perhaps a forum member?

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2011-bmw-m3-124/
Looks very nicely maintained for a car with 120k. Think my car had worse bolster wear at 50k (didn't read the text not sure if that's a swapped interior or not).

Can't believe it's already at $20k with 7 days left...

Finished at $26k. Which means between the 5% seller fee and transportation costs someone was willing to put out close to $28k or more for a car with 120k+

Think BaT is clearly the way to go for any clean E90's rather than getting a slow tug job about rod bearings and why it's worth $17k on here. :lol:

Completely agreed- got close to asking price for mine from someone outside these forums. Maybe should have listed on BAT but nonetheless, satisfied here.

Take a look at this- my former car listed for $50k!! Sold my car to these guys (bought it from them too). Was hoping this wouldn't happen but figured it would:

Oh man, I bought my car from Brett for $38k. Found the previous owner had sold it to him for $25k.

Clearly his standard markup is $13k - no wonder he's driving Ferrari's and I have to change my own spark plugs.

That's right, looks like a considerable markup from Brett. I really was hoping to sell it to a forum member to avoid this but I kept getting low balled and/or not much interest. Now someone will end up paying a lot more for the same exact car with no additional reconditioning. :bellyroll:

His asking price makes my car seem like a comparable bargain, but since he just sold that 2008 E90 6MT for probably close to his ask of $38k I guess the people come out of the woodwork given enough time and publicity.

His detailer did such a shit job on my car it gave me anxiety. I'm almost frightened to know what it looked like beforehand.
Great thread idea. If any of you are selling, message me. I don’t mind a well-cared for one at or over 100k miles, as it will be a daily driver and weekend autocross car as opposed to a garage queen. Thx!

I bought it less than a month ago. I had a fully built F82 and opted for something the whole family could enjoy.

:)
Full built M4 to E90 M3 converter here too! Cant beat the S65. As much as I make fun of the sound of the S55, the F8x is actually a wonderful car and very track capable. I didn't appreciate them until I saw the new G8x :cry:
