^I like it but could never afford one.I would paint my car that color - but cant even afford the paint to do it it appears to have a shine in some of the pictures.but for that price I could buy a home.
Peace out-Beach Bum Mike -

I'm with you Mike. For 80 grand, I'd put the money on a house. At least a house actually increases in value over time. Good to hear from you again. Don't be a stranger! You're always welcome.

I would love to own an M3 or even the new M1 but I wouldnt be able to get past having to be lumped in with the rest of the d bags that drive beemers around here. Plus the price for what you get just isnt that great. Maybe 20k less and it would be worth it.

I honestly believe BMW keeps their prices that high on purpose. To intentionally keep their cars out of the price range of "common" people. They want to keep their customers feeling exclusive.

They have a good business in their certified used bmw's for the "common" person. It gives the 2 year lease to the rich business guys and then they resell the same car again to the common person who can finally afford it.

My fiance has owned a couple of used M3's in the past. Pretty cool car - but I'm not liking the paint on the new one.
