Item Interest

For sale is my e90 M3 with the following Specs:

* VIN: WBSPM935X9E201489
* No accidents or issues on carfax.
* No paint work, no stories. Solid, clean example of an e90 M car.
* 2009 e90 Space Gray / Fox Red Interior
* Six-speed manual transmission. Clutch is strong, no slippage.
* 71k miles
* BMW 359 wheels square setup on 275 / 30 / 19 - Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ Tires (on car for about 7500 miles). All wheels are in great condition - see pics. Do not have the stock 220m wheels.
* RPI GTM Catback Exhaust so will pass emissions. I love the sound of this exhaust... get compliments all the time. Don't think it's too obnoxious or droney. Do not have the stock exhaust
* RB and TA are original.
* Car drives strong, no know issues that need to be addressed.
* I would rate interior and exterior both 8-9 / 10 ... there are minor things here and there I will try to capture in pics, but no major blemishes .... In most all cases you have to look close to find defects but like any car of this agree has a few chips/nicks here and there.
* I do have a full sized spare that is a 220m style wheel. I don't drive a lot but when I do, I don't want to get stranded so bought as a precautionary measure.
* In general, I have never driven this car hard. Prob hit redline less than 10x in my ownership. Just kinda over that phase in life ... I ragged out plenty of my prior sports cars but not this one:
** NOTE: I am in the process of replacing the emblem on the front hood... while cleaning I noticed he adhesion started to fail so removed it and ordered a new OEM one... will install when it arrives.
***PS: I really wanted to do a polish/paint correction before Posting but am getting a lot of interest and if you are like me; you probably want to do this anyway yourself if you the proud new owner

Below are a few pics... but go into the google drive link below to find more photos AND a service history spreadsheet that I've made since ownership. I tried to document everything in there which I have documents from prior owners but also all the maintenance. I've performed since I've owned the car. Let me know if you have any questions.

Car History (I should have documents for all items prior to my history and can print any receipts for the service items list if needed... most all maint stuff was purchased from ECS tuning via their service kits):

Price is $38k OBO.

Willing to ship at buyers expense but would need to work out the deposit/payment details to make sure both parties are comfortable.

jiggz performed an inspection and test drove it for me at about 60k miles when I bought it if you want his opinion .... from at least that point in history on it.

Thanks for looking, let me know if I missed anything or if you have any questions.

Lovely car - just feel like its overpriced when TA / RBs havent been done. Few comp E92s are going in that 35-40K price range with them completed.

I understand people proactively wanting to change out the RBs... assuming you can find a reputable shop as I personally think there is also an inherent risk with anyone working on your engine.

I do not agree with preemptively changing out your TAs - Having spares on hand - sure, but not blindly just replacing them. JMO of course.

Anyway - only had it listed for a week so still feeling out the market... I've had a pretty solid offer so far, but wanted to be patient to see others interest.

Lastly - aren't sedans generally fetching a higher price than coupes? Thanks for your input.

There was an auction on BaT for a black 2011 E90 6MT which went to $31k so with the 5% fee, those bidders were willing to pay $32550. It did not meet reserve.

Yeah I bid on that one - the one with the carmax warranty. Seller has it listed privately asking $36k - IMO the market has spoken. You can see the last few sales on BaT : https://bringatrailer.com/bmw/e90-e9...09&yearTo=2011

Quite a few not reaching reserve with only the low (40k or less) mile cars reaching $40k+. Market still adjusting it seems

It's a decent looking e90 but it looks like the exterior/interior on my car are in far better shape and my car has practically new 359 wheels on it with, IMO, a far more desirable color combination. Does that make my car $7k+ more valuable, maybe....maybe not.

But if it was me buying another e90 ... I'd easily spend another $3-5k on my car over the one you guys are talking about. I honestly dont think these e90s / MT in good condition are going to drop much more... or really these v8 Ms in general. The market has pulled back some but I actually expect them to gain more popularity down the road as engines like the s65 become more and more rare.

I do appreciate the feedback and hope you guys find an M you are happy with... they are great cars and unfortunately a dying breed.

I am not going to do any drive by videos for you guys (thats a pretty sweet single hump e92 in the video)...

.... but here is a decent one to see how he exhaust sounds:

Yours is worth $3-5k over that BaT/Carmax car all day. Get it on M3List and after it gets a few more eyeballs on it it'll sell for sure.

Really nice E90, wish it was listed a year ago when I was looking for one. Maybe I should sell my e92 and jump on this... With that said, I do think 38 is a bit aggressive with it not being a ZCP car and RBs not being done.

Hey man, can you please PM me your number. I am interested in the car. -Brandon
