So...my car was leased and it was meticulously maintained.

I heard leased rod bearings are tighter...

There's deals out there. I picked this up from a co-worked who never drove it in the rain and always garage kept. Full Service records. Idon't think anyone sat in the back or passenger seat? Only 31K miles and well under $30K

Looks to be originally a Canadian car.

Cluster is in km/h

Nice combo though. I'd fly over to TX if it was a US car and maybe a little less mileage.

Just my thoughts...
If buying to use as a daily driver, don't pay premium for a low mileage car. I higher mileage car is absolutely fine if maintenence services were done regularly. Sometimes a regularly driven car is more reliable compared to weekend driver, my personal experience, also rubber seals etc inside the engine stay lubricated with regular driving.
E9x M3s are generally very reliable & most issues are well known by now, just do rod bearing service for peace of mind & enjoy!

Which "rubber seals etc." in an engine stay better lubricated in a regular driven higher mileage car?

I'm about to post up a meticulously maintained 2011.75 6MT ZCP sedan in the for sale section, if anyone is interested. Sale price will be ~$32k on lower miles ~48.5k. Will post as soon as I'm able to; already in autotrader's system but not posted as yet.

Yep, I went higher mileage for my DD m3... I wanted less guilt when driving 15K miles a year.. just maintain and enjoy.

if you do buy a Carmax car they even change the oil for you...

Yep, mine they had put 5w30 in as well. Maybe I'll buy this one, take it home and swap the exhaust with mine, then return the car in their 3-5 day window.

I was finally able to purchase my perfectly spec'd car and ran across this one as well. I called them and noticed that they imported this from Canada but never changed the gauge cluster so it still shows as kilometer's, just as a heads up!

If you'd like to know since you're looking to purchase a E92 M3

I paid 32k
Alpine White
6MT
Slicktop
Black Interior
48k miles
K/W Suspension
HRE Rims

Some would say I paid a little more but the car was extremely clean, just recently detailed the car and it had barely any swirl marks on paint.

I would have not guessed it was Jerez, I own a 2012 e93 in Jerez, I did notice no heated seats, or premium audio and like others had mentioned, some questionable "upgrades"
Here is the VIN decoder with options.
