With high revving Mcars, it's good peace of mind to buy new.

However, makes sense to wait for them to be out a year.

As for 30k over msrp. Ridic.

Who the hell would spend 70k on a 3 SERIES?!! Not to mention I have seen some dealers mark it up to 100k!!! Its a 3 series, wow. No offense, but its like paying 70+k for a C class. I would rather get a 6 series IMO, and I hate the 6.

why? when was the last time you drove a car like this beyond its factory warranty?

i used to be in the same boat until one day hindsight was 20/20 and i realized that i never drive expensive cars out of warranty and i rarely sell them privately once done with them.

few cars

3 series coupe? dude wtf are you talking about?? How come it's 3 series coupe all of the sudden? It's an M3 coupe, not 3 series coupe.
And 70K must have included all of the options.

The same could be said of the clk63 black series. Only those that know what it is can appreciate it and most people would think it's insane to pay 125k+ for a clk series. Too bad the c63 doesn't look like it is even close to having the same handling capabilities.

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
I saw a new M3 today for the first time. It looks so much better in-person and way better than the 335i. The body doesn't look as Mickey Moused as I thought it would. It's the first BMW that has made me stop and stare since 2006. OP, is the interior and driving position similar in feeling to the the 335i's? I can never get a good position when I drive my friend's. It kills the experience. Thanks.

My friends wife over in the USA is picking one up Friday and she is paying $0 so it is a real bargain. Sadly she has to give it back Monday

One of the perks of working for BMW though. Last time they had a Alpina B7 just as it started to snow

Regards

Andy
