After hunting for M3’s as a replacement for my Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Nero Edition, I found one for sale in Avon, MA that was marked up to about $42,000 in July 2023. I planned a weekend to go up & test drive that M3, a manual F87 M2 N55 with M Performance parts all over it & a F80 M3 DCT Individual Tanzanite Blue/Amaro Brown Extended. Due to last-second schedule changes, I only got to drive the F80/F87 back to back, skipping out on the E90 at a separate dealer…

Flash forward to December 2023 (about 6 months later), the used car market cooled down tremendously. Officially planning on selling the Alfa regardless of having a replacement or not, I found the same E90 M3 still sitting at the same dealer in Avon for the past few months again - with a significant discount from its July ‘23 price of course. This time I went to test drive it and was impressed enough with how it drove that I set up a PPI from a trusted mechanic to give it a once-over and check the health of the car.

I bought and drove the car home December 17, 2023 from Avon, MA back to RI with about 90,000 miles on it. Came mainly stock besides a K&N air filter & Magnaflow Axleback Exhaust. A good friend of mine drove me up in his modified GTI and we took the day to get photos, drive around in the M3 & get some food. Photos below.
