dude...no...no sedan unless it has an //M badge and quad exhausts

stick to an m3...intensify your search

 

I like the ZHP, but its not an M3 obviously.

They aren't so cheap either, continue looking for an M3.

Have you been searching out of State?

 

dont go w/ 4 drs jesal

can u afford a m3 and maybe a winter beater??

 

Sports Car International called that sedan the best BMW they make now. They said it is perfect, looks, ride, interior, everything. I saw one in green, not my color but it is sweet, I have yet to drive one.

Crazy Sellout, my best friend and I have been shopping for M3s for about 3 months now and here in Atlanta, 2001s are low 40s with 20-30k miles. Thing is, we can spring new ones for 50-52k. Convertibiles (new) are 57-62k (whoa!).

AS u know, I love quick, subtle sedans. 4-doors also have cheaper insurance and more space. I'd consider it.

 

Jesal, it's ultimately your choice, buddy...but personally I never cared for 3 series sedans

I can get the zhp with decent options for about 41k from my dealer.

Oh look what i saw today... 2002 bmw m3 estoil blue. This car just stopped me in my tracks! You really need to see it in person. Sorry its a bad pic but i had to take it. But they want 48k for it.

 

it's only an extra $7k what's the big deal??

 

41k is a great price for that car.

 

just get a new one bro

 

Estoril Blue is a hot color, looks great on the E46.....its nice because Estoril is one of the few remaining colors exclusive to ///M cars. They want $48k because of the special order paint, an extra $2k. Probably also kicked it up a notch or two due to it being a fairly rare color.

Yeah, $41k for a ZHP is pricey. In the long run resale wise, you would be better off with the $48k Estoril M3. Can you try and negotiate that M3 down some more? You could try and argue that you could get a new one for $47k base. I'll bet it was a trade that they really stepped up on (besides the reasons above) to make the deal happen on the new car.

 

its SMG with about 17k miles.

But even if i can get it for $45k, the tax and everything would bring it back to $48k.

 

Ok, so it has the $2400 tranny, the mileage is fine.

Guess the price is descent, what else does it have? I see the 18s and no Cold weather package.

$45k would be a good deal.

But if its above where you need to be, it is what it is.

 

not sure if it has premium package, but it did have leather and a sunroof. I really didnt look at it too well once he said 48k.

 

nice color on the bmw. get the house, then the car. Maybe you'll have extra cash then, but if you are purchasing a home, unless you have a little bit of excess cash, do but strain on your budget.

 

dont get the sedan, it looks boring, 3-series sedans were really cool in 1999 when they came out....thats about it.

but the 3-series coupe, damn thats hot.

 

i'd rock it You can't loose.....

 

I'll sell you my G for 33K and I'll go buy that ///M3?

Fair???

 

how about the wrx sti? it runs low 13's stock, is a lot easier, and cheaper to mod than an M3, and is so much cheaper. Plus you can't beat AWD! it won't give you the badge though, so if your looking for image, then bmw :o

 

i wouldnt say that im looking for image, but i rather say that im looking for comfort. Which means the wrx isnt for me. Im not a hardcore 1/4 guy, we all know this.
