+1 this 3 series thread is always a good break from work to see who bought a new 3 series or M3 :)

Good to see people not being affected by the current economy and enjoying their car purchases!

+1

get some V710's- 90% of the looks at 1/5 of the price

Brandon24pdx Jun 20, 2009 03:24 PM

I probably would have restrained myself to 19" for a little more sidewall, but yes that color is beautiful on that car. Especially on cloudy days or in low lighting.

TommySalami Jun 20, 2009 04:35 PM

Yeah, I think the 20s are too big on the M3

Guys, I know the real deal. He talks about sports cars but really he's a secret surfer dude.

He bought the Bright Orange Ford Bronco from Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle.

Maybe a dumb question... When do payments start on ED? Delivery over in Germany or delivery in the states?

Depends how long you plan to stay over there.

You sign the financing paperwork 7-10 days BEFORE your trip and they give you a 60 days till your first payment from the date you sign those.

Welp, I think I've just about had it.

Had to leave the train station because my windows stopped working. Taking this POS back to the dealer in 20 minutes.

I'm really at a loss.

wow scrib! that car may qualify as a lemon! there were quite a few, when I used carfax, back when I was looking. Look into the lemon laws, and keep your documents. You might be able to get another one at cost!

turkeybaster115 Jun 24, 2009 09:28 AM

IF ANYONe has an E46 M3/non M3/E36 please let me know, because I've got a set of winter tires and wheels for sale, and I can do a local delivery, in illinois.

You can't lemon a used car, based on what I know.

Crazy Bimmer Jun 24, 2009 10:36 AM

Shit. Really sorry Scrib.

Wonder if this was one of the reasons that BMW dealer didnt CPO that car. :dunno:

Scrib Jun 24, 2009 10:38 AM

Leaves a salty taste in my mouth, that's for sure.

What's out there to replace this thing with. :) An no M3. I'm sick of blowing money on cars.

Crazy Bimmer Jun 24, 2009 10:49 AM

Dont swear off the 335i just because of one bad lemon. Although i know how that can ruin it for someone. :(

I still say look them again. Otherwise look at the G37... ? :yawn:

I think the new 335i are leasing out pretty well, could look into that as well.

Scrib Jun 24, 2009 10:59 AM

No Infiniti. Been there done that. The G35 was nice, but doesn't compare to this car.

Was much more reliable, though. :snipe:

That's kind of the rub, unless you spend a lot more money :sad:

The only other thing I can suggest is maybe a used IS350? Thats if you can find a good price on one of those things. They are usually priced real high, even used. So far my 335I sedan has been good to me. Only thing I'm mad about is the oil cooler buisness. Still not enough to make me not have mine! wouldn't touch an M for the money, torque, and gas milage trade offs!
