E90 m3, cheap?

Recommended Posts

Ever heard the saying ‘There is nothing more expensive than a cheap BMW’?

Sounds like it's been well serviced. Deceased estate, so they're probably not too well versed in the M3 market.

I fully understand that an m3 is going to cost in maintenence, but this one seems to have OK service history (not fantastic, but it could be far worse) and almost certainly needs the rod bearings replaced, but even still, it seems to be priced below the rest on the market. 

I was wondering if anyone had actually been to look at the car, maybe it has a fault that is obvious when you hear it running or something.

I've been itching for one of these recently... I way prefer the 4 door to the coupe

It's also been listed over a month, so if it was a great price and in decent condition I'd have thought it would have sold already.

I know long life oil and all that, but some of those service intervals on something so high revving and with already fragile rod bearings, make my skin crawl.

22,000kms, 25,000kms, 27,000kms, 33,000kms. One of them with 3 years between.

Yeah I know, like I said, it has history, but not fantastic history!

I was closing in on making an offer on this one, but it's been sold. Dammit. 

Ah well, who knows what will happen with the financial climate, maybe something else will come along.

Especially if you want a lift kitted Ford Ranger on 22's

Haha. Indeed. 

Unfortunately that's not what I'm in to!
