The car is in perfect condition but all 4 tires need to be changed.
Bought for 27k CAD or roughly 20.6k USD

$20,600 USD for an M3 with 40k miles? That just sounds downright fishy to me. I hope there isn't more to the story and the seller wasn't trying to just dump the car as fast as possible. He could've easily sold it for $29-31k USD (not sure what that equates to in CAD). I imagine it wasn't listed for very long at that price before you snatched it up!

The Canadian used car market is quite different compared to the US...got a friend in Canada and every time we compare used car prices one of us will go WTF why is that car priced so low/high across the boarder

Yeah, Canada is usually higher though not lower. At least from what I've seen for the M3. This one is A LOT lower, far out of the "normal" range of US vs Canada.

I could be wrong, never actually bought a car from Canada.

They have some cars that are surprisingly cheap compared to the US tho....like some Infiniti models and even the 14/15 Camaro Z28s are not that expensive compared to the US (although those are US origin cars)

If you look back in this thread at folks who have posted about what they've paid for an M3 in Canada, it's pretty much universally higher. I don't think I've seen anyone pick up an M3 in Canada for less than and equivalent M3 in the US. Not saying it's impossible, after all this forum only represents <1% of buyers out there. But it still smells fishy to me with a price like that.

That's true, I never checked how much the M3 cost in Canada (but some cars were significantly lower than the US and I was shocked a few times before)

I remember reading that BMWCA had to adjust the price of the F10 M5's price in Canada (F10 M5 was a lot cheaper than E60 M5 in CAD after the price adjustment) to reflect the change in exchange rate, not sure if BMWCA raise the price again after the depreciation of the CAD tho.

Theres really not much more to the story... So far had the car 3 weeks its been amazing drives like new!

**Canada is generally more expensive.**

However I was hunting for the right car 24/7 for about a year. 20.6 usd or 27 cad regardless how you look at is is in fact an amazing deal! The guy was offered roughly the same as trade-in at bmw but he just decided to sell it to me.

I told him Cash in hand 10 minute transaction-no headaches no loans no bs.

Too much for my pocket too little for what it is

Sometimes good timing and acting quickly is all it takes.

Just wanna let everyone know that word from Dealers the E9x M3 is high in demand now. They emailed us asking us to trade our M3 in for "above" value LOL for something better like the m4... we told them we plan on keeping our 2011 E92 M3 competition and we have an M4 anyways!

They are willing to pay $44,000 for my 46K mile M3. Other E9x owners are getting calls from dealers as well.

BMWBryan · 10-26-2015, 12:07 AM

Hey folks,

I just bought my car yesterday.

2009 E93 AW + BK
Clean Title
44.5k mi
Warranty to 87k/2019
Meisterschaft GT Exhaust (which sounds INCREDIBLE)
Every package (sticker was 81k when new) inc
-Convenience
-Tech
-Premium
-Cold Weather
-Etc

I paid 35k here in Cali
I live in the Bay Area (I'm looking for some local BMW groups?), but I drove down to LA to get this gem and bring her back up.

Lemme know what you think.

Not bad for a dealer price, especially with the warranty. Is the warranty 3rd party? Looks like the only things you're missing are Enhanced Premium Sound (silver rings around the speakers), and extended leather. I'd ditch the M badge on the grille and eyelids on the headlights, unless you like those mods. Also pick up some color matched reflector deletes. Enjoy the new ride!

I am originally from Canada as well and I was shopping for one for sometime in Ottawa/Montreal. I never seen a one close to this and there was one close to this price it had a rebuilt title.

I mean that's really good for you. You just gained someone's loss right there
