I am very reluctantly posting my 2008 E90 M3 6MT for sale after an unexpected life change and cross country move has brought me to Los Angeles. As much as I am in love with this car, the fiancé and I are in need of a midsize SUV that she can drive as well.

Brief History on the Car:
After searching for several months and calling on several other cars, I bought this M3 from another member. The main reason that I was attracted to this car was how well kept it was and how many of the "big ticket" service items had already been completed. Plus, the seller was extremely transparent and I hope to pass along the same courtesy to the future buyer. I had a P.P.I. performed before purchasing the car which revealed a few issues that I had fixed and are detailed below. The car is extremely clean and very well-maintained.

This M3 began life as a Canadian car and stayed in Canada until the PO imported the car in 2015. Upon import, the cluster was switched and the car was programmed for US specs. The car was originally spec'd with palladium silver interior. At some point in its life, while still in Canada, the interior was swapped to fox red seats w/ black door panels. I have clean carfax, autocheck, vincheck and carproof reports from when I purchased the car and the PO was unaware of any accidents. I am happy to email these reports to any serious buyers.

Suggested Maintenance: My indy recommends replacing flex disc / guibo in the next year or so as it is starting to show age. I was quoted around $800 to replace this part (including parts & labor).

The Quirks & Features:
I've spent the last several months of ownership trying to perfect my "baby". However, this is a ten year old car and there are a few things that are less than perfect. The front bumper and hood have rock chips typical of a car with this mileage. I purchased a touch up paint kit to repair these but haven't had a chance. This is brand new in box and included with the sale. There is some minor curb rash on all four wheels, but only really noticeable on one of the wheels (see photos). There is a scuff on the front passenger side lower bumper as well as the typical scars underneath the bumper from scraping on bumps over the life of the car (see photos).

During my ownership, I had some minor paintwork (clearcoat & touchup) done to bring the car back to how it should be. After I bought the car, the transport company dropped something (hook or chain) on the rear trunk lid resulting in two small gouges. I had this repaired along with some deeper scratches on the driver's rear door that would not polish out. I also had all door dents / dings removed with PDR at the same time. All repairs were done by a reputable shop that does 10/10 work and the car looks phenomenal. I have documentation for everything.

De-badged Trunk Lid
Improved Clutch Pedal Stop
Megan Racing Supremo Exhaust
Gloss Black Competition Kidney Grills w/ M Stripe Stickers (easily removed)
CF Wrapped Aluminum Trim, easily removed

CF Fender Trim
