Where can I find E90/92s for sale in California?

Besides craigslist and autotrader.

I'm looking for a clean 6MT E90/92 with <50k mi in California. Every car I've checked out on craigslist/autotrader was either owned by someone that had no idea how to properly take care of a car or the owner didn't bother disclosing everything until I got there to check out the car (saying it was a 2 owner car when it was 5, saying the only cosmetic blemish was a windshield chip when there's scratches everywhere underneath the car, telling me "oh this sound is normal for a BMW" when second gear was grinding, the tires were completely bald, the car was in a major accident even though the carfax is clean, etc.). I had someone suggest facebook groups to me so I joined every norcal and socal one I could find, but it seems like it's mostly 328/335s. Am I not joining the right groups?

Have you checked out Shift.com? They have a few MT '08s with around 55k miles. Some have good service histories in CarFax. Pretty decent pricing as well.

It took me almost a year to find mine. I bought mine from CarMax and probably over paid but it was exactly what I was looking for color and option wise so I didn't mind paying more. I also bought their warranty which was only $3200 for 5 yr/100k miles.

What's your price range? I was recently in the market and test drove some that you see for sale from dealerships.

Currently has bronze volk te37s and akro axle back but I have stock wheels (dark 18s) and exhaust in the garage. No track nor autox time. Let me know if you would like to discuss further.

Cargurus, CarMax, and any the local CALI BMW M Facebook pages. E9X's seem to be popping up more and more now, especially as the price for a E9x m3 continues to go down.

Preferably <35k but depends on value of course
