Is this a good deal? 2008 E92 - 7000 miles!

I've been drooling over an M3 for years now. I'm financially stable enough to make the purchase and I came across this gorgeous M3 right here, locally.

I took the liberty of test driving the car and it felt incredible. I've always wanted a AW/FR combo but I really like this Jerez up and close... the blue flake is gorgeous!

The car is on consignment and is flawless, perfect in every way. I really want to make a move on it. KBB prices it out at what they have it listed for...

Only thing I don't like is the non-updated Idrive... I know i'll get used to it though.

Thoughts? Fair deal?

Anyone get a deal close to this one?

I was offered a similar 2008 for 46.5k.

Differences: 12k more miles, DCT, silver interior.

Color aside, are 12k less miles worth 8500 bucks? In my opinion, no. I would not offer more than 48-50k for that car. Manual transmission also reduces the asking price by a small margin.

Just my 2 cents,
JM

You can swap out the iDrive for some $$. Still seems priced high, although that is a ridiculously low amount of miles!

Price seems high to me even with the low mileage. Form what I've seen on this forum no used cars are currently being sold at KBB prices so I would suggest making a max offer of $48k but start with a lower initial offer.

Certainly a beautiful car. This said I have seen (and bought) a much better deal over a year ago. Only differences were mine had no sunroof (I wanted the CF roof), and it came with 18"s which I immediately swapped for 19"s for $500 with someone on this board. Also, the one I found only had 2,500 miles, and I purchased for $3k less than this one is listed for.
PS. I took about 11 months waiting for this deal to pop up. But if you have the $, go for it!

Try to get the price down by 10% otherwise it is a great deal. Make sure it is inspected at a BMW dealer before purchase. The report will tell you if anything needs to be done.

Also get all the previous inspection reports and ask the BMW dealer (doing the before sale inspection) about extended warranty.

Good luck.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I think I'll offer 55k out the door, taxes included or wait for a better deal to come around.

Thanks!

I recommend you fellows put up some photos in the classified section on this forum also put some photos into your garage it is easy to do then people can look at some photos.

Just thinking out loud here for you

Good luck!

it's a dealer they will ask for the star, moon and the galaxy.

Offer them in the mid to high 40s. Car is nice.
Also, i like the manual tranny. so I am okay with it.
