I saw that post earlier today and was lost for words. I have never heard of something more shameless than this.

BOOF-M3, you are not alone. The guy is a dueche. Karma can truly be a bitch though.

I’m with you but I think a lot of people get rid of cars because they start to develop problems that they either can’t afford or fix. Typically the ethical thing to do is to disclose the issues to the potential buyer so they can determine if they want the risks.

If Carmax decides to sell it on their lot, at least they have a 30 day warranty or 5 day money back policy.

Put the VIN on here so we can all avoid this car lol

Awful karma coming for that one.

Sounds like how one gets stuck with a car like in the other thread: “Engine failure 45 minutes after new M3 purchase?”

I get self preservation but come on, so we are going to be here in a month reading about a new member who picked up his dream car "M3" from Carmax and now it's toast. And then bitch and moan about BMW when they had nothing to do with this one.

So I assume he bought a used M3, and over the course of driving it, developed 35k worth of damage? And if the knock was that bad, wouldn't the car have already blown up? I mean, shaking so bad he felt it?

My mind is blown.

I was just talking about people taking supercharger kits off and selling the cars as unmolested stock cars. This falls into the same category of f***ery.

Some leased.

The mod issue is a huge potential problem for the F8x market. So many of those are easily and inexpensively boosted to within an inch of their life and then returned to stock at lease turn-in that buying a used F8x is a gamble of what bag you'll end up holding.

Don't deal with Carmax over here but thought they understood about cars and testing better than so - will def never deal with them should I get a chance.
Poor fellow picking up this sack of shite. Should karma exist if won't take long until you have another pile if crap on your yard bud.

I dropped off my e93 at the dealership after it was sitting for almost a year. I started it and immediately heard an odd noise coming from the engine. When attempting to load it on the trailer it seemed to have no torque as I could barely drive it onto my trailer!

It seemed to rev in a healthy state outside of the odd noise coming from he engine bay but i knew something was wrong. The dealer believed it was something wrong with the rod bearings as they found metal shavings in my oil... Which lead to me finding this post... I was very curious as to how they knew it may be related to rod bearings without fully inspecting the engine and now I see this is a know issue.

I need help as the gave me an estimate of $28k for a new engine... NOT doing that!

Source a used engine, they are often posted in the forum, if your engine isn't quite toast yet why not take it to an independent shop to see if they can salvage it before the damage is irreversible.

Either way, don't drive it.
