Moving on...

Sold my M3 today after listing it just yesterday, time to get a boring car for a few years. My son turns 16 in April and an M3 with adolescent behavior is a recipe for disaster.

Hope to be back in a few years, will post up some remaining parts soon and enjoy the spring/summer Canadian M3P!

Last few pics today...

Admire your maturity. I am far away from that unfortunately.

Enjoy the spring as well and see you soon.

sad to hear that... hope to see you back again in the future sometime!

Definitely sounds like a tough decision. If it's any consolation, it's clear you made the right choice. I'm sure many of us remember the days when we first got our licenses

...

I think you can still get a "fun" car while ensuring your kid is safe. The E46 ZHP or E90 328i comes to mind and it makes for a great DD. Best of luck in your search!

I know eh? After getting the paint corrected on the car and polished up just right, the blue hue popped.

I am 44 y/o, I wish I was more immature, I would've kept the M3

Time will tell, depends in a few years if I can find the right example to buy.

I actually leased a 2019 Lexus IS300 with AWD, auto, nicely optioned. Was surprised how cheap it worked out for. It's no M3, but, it has all the widgets on it which I must admit, is pretty nice.

The guy who bought it actually did get an awesome car, the mechanic who works on the car (Boost Theory) was very surprised I sold it knowing I went through that car with a fine tooth comb on maintenance/repair. I actually did not plan on selling it, I wanted to keep it long term, but after thinking it through, it's not the right play to have an M3 in the family with a 16 y/o male, I trust my son, but it's too tempting of a vehicle.

This is the 3rd one I have bought and sold in 5 years. Each time I bought an M3 I knew when I spoke to the owner before seeing it, that I would buy "his" car. It went the same with the guy who bought mine. He had requirements he wanted in options/colour, but he had been at it for months. We all know, the better the maintenance history/records, the quicker our minds ease on owning one of these cars, but selling in one day, yes, the timing was perfect for the buyer and me.
