I'm also a new E92 M3 owner. I purchased my car in Virginia/DC area (extensive service records) 2008 Black on Black 6 Speed Car with a Carbon Fiber roof and clean Carfax 9/10 on the clean factor, was a 2 owner-Florida and Virginia vehicle, with the most part of its mileage early in its life- no winters! It was on the lot about a month. I went back and fourth multiple times and ended up coming to agreement at 23k purchase price @ 84k Miles. Drove it home 400+ miles, rock solid vehicle. I would offer them $24,000 on that car @ 78k. 22-23k Would be a heck of a deal if you could swing it, but it should have no problem selling at 24k, in my opinion.

Make sure you handle the basics when you buy it, diff/trans fluid/brake fluid flush, oil, coolant (basically all fluids) plugs and any other consumables. I just got done getting a fresh baseline on all of these items in my car (even though some were done not terribly long ago).
