Understood... it is not that there's no used market for a stripped M3, the issue is that it is a very small market so either resale value will hurt or it will take quite some time to resell.

Thanks everybody for your opinions. I am supposed to meet with the dealer again tonight, but we are still a long ways away from making a deal. I am trying to buy a Jerez Black coupe with Red interior, the car is beautiful. Still haven't been able to drive a broken-in M3. They have a executive demo with DCT so I am hoping to drive it tonight. I can't imagine what 8,400 rpm's sounds like.
By the way, neither dealer will give me anything for my 6 month old 2009 Z4 35i (sticker price $59,000). I've been offered $36,000 and $37,000 so far. They said there are $5,000 rebates on the 2010's which makes my car worth a lot less. I said $23,000 depreciation in 6 months, are you insane. Really pisses me off. Of course they have 2010 Z4's on their lot priced at $59,000. I may have to sell it myself, just didn't want the hassle.

Was it the grey or the blue? I think those were the only ones I saw the other day...
The blue coupe has a big dent in the passenger side just behind the door so be careful if you like that one... Last edited by MKParris; 01-04-2010 at 06:29 PM.. |

According to their online inventory, the only Black coupe they have is a 2009 with manual tranny. MSRP is $63K so it must be stripped.

They have three 2009's in stock. Both dealers I looked at this weekend didn't have any 2009's. Anybody know of any current incentives on 2009's. I think the majority of the incentives ended in December.

I would recommend not sweating resale value and by the car that is right for you. Just my 2 cents. |

Of course, it is not that all M3 -regardless of optional equipment- are keeping their value like the E46 M3, at the end of the day you buy what you want and like. Resale value is just as additional consideration for the OP. |

Why do people ask what options they should get on their own cars? I never understood that. You are going to be the one driving it, get whatever you want.

Not everyone has the opportunity to sample all options before ordering. It can be helpful to solicit some feedback. I do think that for things that effect the car's driving dynamics and feel, a comparison test is really a great idea if you are at all uncertain.

Perhaps it is because they really do not want a salesperson to answer their questions about their possible purchase, they want answers from owners.
