2004 BMW M3 E46 black imola red interior - $24500

Private Sale. Very good candidate. Going to take a look on Tuesday. More info coming.

LIKES : 2004MY with updates, Jet Black with Imola Red leather. under 53k miles. Almost bone stock (looks lowered? and has aftermarket angel eye?) has Navi. Seems well taken care of. Asking price is a bit high.
KBB value around 20-21k.

04.10 I went to go take a look at the car. MORE>> 

Used 2002 BMW M3 Coupe $18,900

Private Sale. I think this might be it!!! More info later.

LIKES:: Alpine White with Imola Leather! low mileage car 47k. two owner car. Seems to have cold weather pkg with heated seats! (I prefer this over Navi) and asking price of $18.9k is a good starting point for negotiation! Seems to taken care of nicely. Bone stock!!! DISLIKES :: 2002MY-I prefer 2003.5 and newer. no 19" factory wheels.

UPDATE: 
04.09 8pm. Damm.. I was on my way to take a look, make an offer... but I got a text. It was SOLD for 21.7k!!!!!!


04.09 4pm I just spoke to the owner. There are like 5 different interested buyer coming to take a look at the car. When the car is a desirable color combo with low miles at very reasonable price, this it what happens! There are way~ too many owners of not-so-desirable examples of M3 asking for way~too much money for their car. Let this be a lesson to many out there!

2004 BMW M3 Red/6 speed/19" - $19000 // 75k miles // Montgomery AL

Private Sale. Listed in Craigslist. I like! Imola Red/Blk leather. premium pkg, navi, xenon. Inspection II done. 19" wheels. Sounds like owner took a good care of the car. Clean M3 at attractive mileage. Asking 19k. Seems very reasonable. KBB values at around 18k. I will offer somewhere between 16-17k. Alabama is kinda far..2000 miles! but might be worth the trip?
KBB values >> 18k

UPDATE:: Owner wasn't that entertained by the idea of a buyer in CA showing interest in his M. I don't know why..
"Why would you buy a car in AL when youre in CA?"
"Dude, this is a relatively common car. I'm sure there are a bunch for sale out west. For your own good, buy a car you can go drive and see before negotiating."

2004 BMW M3 136k miles - $14000 // millbrae CA (near SF)

Private Sale. Listed in Craigslist. At 136k miles, KBB values it at around $12k. Black with Black with Navi, Cold Weather pkg, premium pkg. Inspection II done. Seems to be in fairly good condition. If my offer of 12k goes through, I'd definitely consider this. DISLIKES : Blacked out grill and smoked headlight.

2001 BMW M3 E46 - $16500 // 111k miles // Glendale CA

 Private Sale. Listed in Craigslist. Asking way too much for 2001MY car with 111k miles. Mods do not add value to the car. New parts do not add value to the car. Looks good, but Not interested.

FS: Jet Black 2005 M3 6MT CINNAMON // 75k miles // $22.5 // TX

Private Sale. Listed in m3forum. This one very tempting... I like Jet Black and this one even comes with nice Dakota Cinnamon leather. 75k mileage is good, as well as 2005 MY car. DISLIKE: No heated seats nor Naviation. Rear accident (Seller claims bumper only. Also he can provide all the pictures and documents of the repair job) Car is located in Houston, TX. While kinda far, definitely drivable back to Cali. He also claims all maintenance and Inspection I & II done. With accident, and seeing how it;s been on sale for nearly two month, I will offer 18k?
KBB value >> $21,043 for good condition. $20.4-21.6

2004 BMW M3 59k Miles - $23000 (Irvine)

Private Sale. We have a very good potential here. Titanium Silver isn't my first choice.. but 2004MY, 60K miles. Manual.. will have to see if it's California Car, Clean Title, Maintenance record.. etc. But if I can score this for around/less than 20k, it's a winner.
KBB Value >> $20k
