someone seriously neglected that car. i'm not a fan of the color, but this would be a really special car to someone if it wasn't previously owned by someone who didn't care about it.

I have sought this car for many years. Alas, it seems like such a letdown now. I appreciate the thorough detail in which the flaws have been described. Unfortunately, I feel I have to pass. It seems as though it has not been maintained well and aside from the body issues, who knows what mechanical issues it may have. I would truly consider this car if it wasn't in rough shape. I have imported cars from California before but with the current exchange rate and the money required to bring it up to "my" standard, I believe I would be paying an unrealistic amount of money. Perhaps someone else will jump on this car and bring it back to the state it deserves. Thanks again for the post and welcome to the forum!

Yes it rare. But the Individuals are not sought after by the masses, but the enthusiasts. Look at the production numbers for the E90. Besides, the E90 platform is old news and many have moved on to the F8X platform. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE E90's but the Individuals cars are that much less sought after. If you truly are looking for a unique car, this is definitely one of those. Or perhaps that Java Green? Now that's a clean car. Free Bump http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1273090

Hey everyone. I had a deposit down on this car and was about to purchase it until I had my friend in San Jose go in and check it out. He sent me pictures of the damage at the same time as I found this thread. Really disappointing. The paint is pretty swirled too, in need of a total compound and polish. It definitely looks to have been neglected. Not to mention the underside of the front bumper is scratched to HELL. Check this:lsbscrape by Harrison Bade, on Flickr
I will say, the people at the dealership, including the GM, were excellent at answering my questions over the phone all the way on the east coast. Really fantastic service. Even sent me videos of things that I requested. Wish the car was what I expected, but it's better to know now. |

As for those scratches on the underside of the front end, that's not a big deal to me. Find me an e9x m3 with over 40k miles that doesn't have some scratches in that area. It's almost unavoidable and that's a low cost fix if it bothers you. Last edited by Frozen; 09-14-2016 at 01:51 AM.. |

^ I think what people are getting at is that this was a leased car and shows obvious signs of neglect or care being that is was not owned outright. Chances are high that the mechanicals were treated with the same "no shits given" lessee ownership mindset.
The interior looks good though, but personally if it came down to it I'd rather have the interior/exterior a little worn if I was 100% certain the mechanicals were pristine. That's just me though. |

Looks like a car that was driven every day. Some people have to park on the street and go up and down steep curbs to get where they're going. The underside of my front splitter is scratched from various high curbs, parking lots, yada. Guess what, it's on the bottom, you can't see it unless you flop on the ground in front of the car, and as soon as you fix it you will immediately smack a curb the next place you park. Fix the rear bumper if it bothers you ($750-ish, those holes can be filed it's a urethane bumper not art glass and LSB is mixed just like all other paints, it's not magic blueberry juice), buy a painted keyhole delete or pull it off and get it painted while the bumper is done and paint mixed, get the rest detailed and paint corrected and drive it. There is no such thing as 100% sure in used car buying, but what is 100% certain is this car is 1 of 1, and you'll never see yourself driving the other way unlike me in my Jerez civic

The car is trash. They need to correct the paint, change the brake pads, rotors and god knows what else. I would never buy a vehicle that looks like that. The person who leased it was careless. I can only imagine how terrible the driving habits must have been.

Car could be a total piece of shit mechanically, which I do not know and it may very well be. A PPI would tell you that, but cosmetically the issues are minor for a used car. |

I'm surprised the dealership has done nothing to clean it up

Quite interesting to see those who get excited by "It's one of one" Really? Pray tell, what does that do for the ego? Add another inch to Mr. Woody? Make one feel superior to the next guy whose car is 1 of 1,000?
To me these cars have an essence, a spirit which is why M3's are so appealing. To me the sight of one that has been cherished, pampered, and taken care of with white gloves is a turn on. Finding one that has been beat, driven to the ground and not cared for properly, is a turn off. Different strokes for different folks! I don't get off on thinking that just because mine is chartreuse, tangerine, or rainbow color that it's somehow better than one of another color. Now if we were discussing how to fit more midget clown hookers in the trunk, then I'd be interested! |
