Hello, new member here. Looking for an e90 m3. Glad I found this forum so I can do some reading before making a purchase. Currently own a Diesel X5, evo 8 (weekend track car) and a Lexus is350 as a daily (for sale). If you have an e90 m3 for sale let me know! Looking for 09+ but 08 will do if it’s one hell of a deal.

There's an 08 in san diego that looks to be a good buy. I also plan to sell my 08 soon, but will only sell it if I can get a certain number. It does have upgraded rod bearings and has been completely gone through maintenance-wise recently. Has 61k miles.

The one for 25k? It’s a bit out of my price range for an 08. His for sale ads do look very thorough and clean. Send me info on yours. I would PM you but I can’t seem to figure out how. Where are you located?

Good luck. Just picked up my 09 a few months back. Hope to catch you at some of the meets.

Yep, that's the one. I intend to get more than 25k otherwise I'll keep it. Are you looking for DCT or manual trans? The DCT seem to go for less.

pretty open to both. i havent driven the manual yet but im sure its just like every other manual out there.

welcome local!

GL on your hunt.

DCT will be easier to find. only 1055 6MT E90 LCI sedans were imported to North America. There is a little over 2500 DCT E90 LCIs out there.
