    Default New BMW...

    I bought it less than one year old with 13k miles for about 16k off the original MSRP of over 57k. Thank you original owner for taking one for the team.


    Enjoy my awful Droid pictures.




















    Thoughts after 1000 miles of driving:


    -Handling is unreal.
    -Stance, balance and driver position feels perfect.
    -The radio stays on for a long time- like I'll go back to my garage 20 minutes later and it's still on. Weird. I have to lock it to shut it off (unless done manually).
    -It isn't as slow as I thought it would be.
    -My wife doesn't complain about it every day as she did with the GT.
    -Insurance is high
    -I averaged 34.8 MPG on a drive to Charleston, SC.
    -I'm now grouped with BMW fanboys by default.

    Overpriced for what you get, I would've bought a gently used 2010-2011 m3 for 40k instead.

    That's an M3 though, sports GT versus luxury sedan. What makes it overpriced?

    As for the OP, this should be a downside:

    Way to crap on his decision...lol


    Nice car...I would have went 335 as well...if you want to mod them they are MUCH easier and quicker then the M w/just a few bolt ons....


    Enjoy !

    Thanks. The M3 gets 14-20 MPG. That is horrendous and the major reason I didn't get one. The 335i is nearly as quick and gets 23-33 MPG. Gas mileage has bever been a huge concern of mine, but 14-20 is just wasteful when every other 420 HP car gets waaaaay better MPG. I won't even go into the whole modding thing...

    My God BMW needs to make the 3 and 5 series look different from one another. I like the 335's, pretty damn quick cars out of the box. Good choice.

    I'd love to. I came very close to getting an 11 S4. VERY close. Amazing car.
