FS: Dropped Price 2008 E90 M3 Sedan 6MT, Loaded, Gray on Black

Asking Price:
Sold

Location:

Item Interest
Price: $25,000 (HUGE price drop, updated description)

I bought this from another M3Post forum member back in 2013 and it is every bit as wonderful as I’d hoped it would be. I drive about 80 miles a day to work, and on nice days this car transformed my commute from a drudge into a joy. I absolutely love this car, but I hate putting the miles on it.

When I purchased it, it had 39,000 miles on it, and now it has 79,000—and that is with it being garaged from November to April. Those highway commute miles add up, and I have enjoyed it on some longer road trips as well. I’m fortunate to have another car for bad weather and the winter, so this M3 has never seen snow and rarely seen rain.

My feeling is, if you’re lucky enough to have a car like this, you should drive it. So I enjoy it, but I also take exceptionally good care of it. Regularly washed, leather conditioned, well-maintained by the BMW dealer for everything except oil changes. It has also recently had the big regular wear items replaced, so there’s thousands you don’t have to spend.
  • Newer rear tires (Michelin Pilot Super Sport)
  • Newer front tires (Michelin Pilot Super Sport)
  • New brakes last fall
  • New brake pad wear sensors last fall
  • Oil change last fall
  • New air filter last fall
  • Spark plugs, battery, trans fluid, cabin filter replaced at 30K service
  • Throttle body position sensor replaced on right bank, gears replaced on left (preventative to mitigate failure)
  • 79,000 miles

I’m not hard pressed to sell it (and not interested in trades), so if there isn’t any interest I’ll be glad to continue driving it. But I hope it will make someone else as happy as it has made me.

This car is loaded with all of the options and packages. No modifications other than the black kidney grills, window tint, and painted sidemarkers the previous owner installed. The previous owner also had a set of electronically operated exhaust flaps professionally installed just before the mufflers, with a switch hidden in the center console (a neat party trick, and a great sound if/when you ever want it a bit louder). The car looks great without being ostentatious.

No accidents or collisions. I ran over a rock in the road last year and, not wanting any dents or damage, I filed a claim and had anything the rock touched replaced. It was worth it, despite the expense. There are a couple slight nicks in the wheels, but nothing unsightly.

It has every option, including the six-speed manual.
  • E90 Sedan
  • Six-speed manual transmission (6 MT)
  • Black Novillo Extended Leather interior (NDSW)
  • Carbon fiber leather accent
  • Sparkling Graphite paint color (A22)
  • 18” wheels
  • Moonroof
  • ZPP Premium Package (power folding mirrors, universal garage opener, Carbon Leather interior trim, digital compass mirror, BMW Assist with Bluetooth)
  • ZTP Technology Package (EDC Electronic Damping Control, M Drive, Comfort Access keyless entry system, GPS Navigation, Voice Command, Real Time Traffic Info)
  • ZCW Cold Weather Package (ski bag, heated front seats, retractable headlight washers)
  • Park Distance Control
  • Enhanced Premium Sound
  • HD Radio
  • Satellite Radio
  • Bluetooth
  • iDrive
  • Painted sidemarkers
  • Tint on side and rear windows
  • Black kidney grills

Feel free to contact me via PM, email at michaelshaw.pro @ gmail dot com, or call at 5six2 six4five 3 7 four 2. I would be glad to have it inspected and/or shipping at buyer's expense. Please, no trade offers.

Lol @ $31.00 asking price in side panel. Might want to fix that, OP.

Ha, it's a great price isn't it?! I saw that mistake as soon as I posted it, but for the life of me can't find out how to edit the listing price. I can edit the original post text, but not the price. No luck searching the forum for answers. Any tips?

You have to click Go Advanced in the Edit window. Not sure if it works on the mobile site/app.

I hate when it's that easy and I couldn't figure it out. Thank you!

If only you had a 2009+ LCI, I would shoot over from Royal Oak tonight.

I actually considered doing the LCI to update the infotainment system. But at the end of the day, it drives the same and that's all that really mattered to me. Good luck!

Good luck with your sale.

Are you sure this car isn't Sparkling Graphite?

You're exactly right—brain fart! Someone else just emailed me about the car and asked about the color, and I realized my mistake. Thanks for the help.

Wow, local and the perfect combination of options. If you still have this in ~2 months, I'll definitely consider purchasing!

I wish I'd run into you earlier. Where are you from? Unfortunately, I think it is now spoken for, but if anything changes and it still available in a couple months I'll let you know. Cheers!
