WTB: '09+ E90M3 slicktop 6MT SG, IB, LMB, MR below $30k

ekological · 01-19-2022, 10:43 PM

Looking to replace my beater '02 M5 w/ almost 200k miles. I'd put in the effort with maintenance (heads need a R&R, rod bearings, etc), but alas, rust is the enemy. Did buy a '16 X5M to replace the M5, but it's just too nice to drive in the snow/salt

As a result, looking for a car outside of the rust belt. Just seeing what's out there. Really, at this price point, I might consider a Civic Si, new Civic Type R, or the new GR Corolla.

i think you are asking a little too much for the price you want to pay.

Clearly I don't expect low mileage or garage queen. Also, not looking for salvage title/flood damage/etc. I already have a '11 6MT E92 fire orange with 37k miles, but that's a garage queen.

then you had already answered your own in your post.

"Really, at this price point, I might consider a Civic Si, new Civic Type R, or the new GR Corolla." this is way better than a high mileage M3. Plus you have a fire orange already.

Definitely not a garage queen, but maybe worth considering since it's well within your budget

Ad says Interlagos but it's definitely Lemans.

Pretty tough task in this current market

parkjake50 · 01-26-2022, 02:01 AM

Even after the correction, I believe the new standard for a decent s65 m3 is going to be 40's. Especially comp packages. slick top +6mt for e90's and CF roof +6mt for e92's
Good luck with your search!

JNas · 03-09-2022, 12:20 PM

I've got an E90 with 93k that may bet what you're looking for.

2008 6MT, upgraded Idrive, otherwise stock. Sparkling Graphite Metallic (1/50 manual sedans in this color).

Parking the X5M for summers and winter drive a E90 M3? Id do it the other way around tbh.

Nah....e39m5 is the winter beater. I didn't think road salt would be that bad and daily drove the m5 since 2009. After seeing what it did, I would rather not drive a X5M without any rust during the winter. The '99 m3, '05 Elise, '11 m3, '16 X5M, and '15 Speciale are all nice weather cars.

LSBNick · 03-10-2022, 12:10 AM

If only you were looking for an e92 I’d have the exact car you’re looking for haha. GL with the search!
