Buying a used E92 M3

toan414 · 12-15-2011, 08:09 AM

Hey guys, I am thinking about buying a used 08 E92 M3. It is still under warranty until Nov 12. Has iDrive and tech package and premium package. Been doing research, seems like mechanically the e92 Ms has stayed the same, just difference in gadgets such as iDrive. My question is, is there any flaws/issues about the E92 M3 that I should be aware of when I am driving/looking at the car?

Lol thanks guys. Yea I am not going back to a 335i. So far mechanically the M3 looks solid and dependable.

I have 1 issue and it's because I'm lazy... and that is the extended leather option. I gotta clean/condition a lot more... hahahaha, #firstworldproblems.

Not sure why it's funny, but the 2.49% is up to 60 months. Most people in the USA really doesn't keep a car for more than 2.5 years. Oh well, I don't get the Canadian joke.

huyner328 · 12-16-2011, 03:04 PM

60 months is an incredibly long term for a loan.

toan414 · 12-16-2011, 03:41 PM

2.49% for 60 months is really good. I will look into it. Pentagon Federal Credit Union. I was a contractor for DoD Chemical & Biological R&D Army Division, maybe they will let me in. I am planning to do 60 months on car loans. Even a used 08 M3 cost a pretty penny. Blood and sweat going into paying for this car, but it is worth it.
