This one checks all your boxes, 2nd color choice (Jet Black). I don't follow E92 pricing, but it seems pretty high to me?
http://cpo.bmwusa.com/used/2013-BMW-...3012?zip=98028 This one also checks all the boxes, though the color is unknown (BMW Individual), would have to call the dealer and have them check the sticker under the hood. Maybe it's Ruby Black! http://cpo.bmwusa.com/used/2012-BMW-...8121?zip=98028 |

I would also check CarMax. Time to time they have some really nice examples, and they can deliver to wherever you are. |

Still, a year later, I search for the perfect car. I keep finding the wrong ones. Over the past 6 months every car that meets my requirements on options and color shows up with a hideous two tone interior. Or the options are perfect, wonderful interior, and the car will have a sunroof.
The worst part is that three months ago I found three cars that met my requirements, and by then I had committed to a business deal that required my outstanding cash. I found a 2011 ZCP with a 6 speed and 19,166 miles at Dallas Lease returns for $35,800. Then I caught a 2011 Comp DCT with 20,916 miles for $36,995 at Land Rover of Denver. Finally, Hiley Acura of Fort Worth came up with a 2011 Comp DCT at 31,325 miles for $32,896. For a month I was watching those three, hoping that things would break for me and I could go snap one of them up. They all went. I figured "where there's three there'll be more". I actually found a car that was among the rarest of the rare - the Ruby Black I mentioned in my first post here. I put it on hold because of something else that I saw... What really hit me was the 2012 ZCP/DCT that showed up in my state in July. One of the big BMW dealers caught a trade off a very naive customer that gave them a very low mile - think 14K - car, complete with Active Autowerke Level 3 SC, full Stoptech big brake kit, and KW v3 coilovers. The car checked every box, and they only wanted $39.9k for it. It had $26,000 in mods before the labor, and they only wanted $39,9k. I had talked with the sales girl and tried to work out a deal. We spoke on a Friday, she told me they couldn't sell the vehicle due to the airbag recall, and we were supposed to talk when she got back in the office on Monday. I figured, damn the deal, I need to close on this car! I didn't hear from her, and when I called on Tuesday she said one of the people at the dealership snapped up the car. I've been running BOOF into the weeds helping me shop for cars. I'm about numb to all of it now, and its very hard for me to get interested in anything after that SC car. Just venting, guys. I'm pretty sure this stuff will eventually work out and I'll be in an E92 ZCP. Damn, its frustrating. |

Third one was a nice spec, except it was a Fox Red interior - no red. And the miles were double my limit of 30k. The fourth one was Fire Orange - which isn't even on my list as good or bad, because I never thought one would be available at a reasonable price. However, that car is in Canada, and I'm not going to go through that. I appreciate the help. I think I'm going to take a month away from this stuff - again - and try when the weather cools off and people are trying to get out of these cars before the snow hits. |

An alert popped up in my Notifications this morning: this thread hit 3000 views. For some reason a lot of people are interested in it. As some know, I found my "unicorn" in October of 2018, not too many months after I started this thread, but quite some time after beginning my search. Looking back on some of the contributors' posts, I've decided to update it to provide perspective.

I've done zero physical mods, and only one logical: Alex provided the Alpine Stage I tune, Euro/GTS DCT tune, and Euro MDM coding. To be fair to Trap, there's more to that story. Take a look at my sig and you'll see that a few cosmetic and performance mods are listed, about $8k worth. The original owner did that. It has Dinan springs on it, and though I wouldn't have touched the ZCP suspension I'm just fine with the Dinan. The carbon fiber goodies really look amazing, so I'm fine with that. The Remus Race exhaust checks the box I mentioned at the beginning of the thread. I bought an extra factory x-pipe to do a primary cat delete, but since Rogue quit making resonated track pipes, no progress there. I'd like to add an intake for more motor sound but its not too important. I purchased the car with just over 19k miles, it currently has just under 24k. Its still wearing the tires that were on it when I took delivery, and the fronts are the original set from the factory. I had the brakes replaced shortly after delivery by the local dealer. I'm just about to do a bunch of maintenance, including new PS4S tires & alignment, tension rods, motor mounts, spark plugs, fuel breather valve, cabin filters. Something weird is happening with the forum software, I'm not able to post pics inline anymore. So I figured out I can still use the uploader to put a pic at the end of this post.

I'm sure I'd enjoy that, but I'm fine with this car as it sits.
