F80 M3 CP 2017 - Good buy?

[K81M3]

Hi All,

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...e=b13qj&page=1

What's your thoughts on this car, I've test driven it and all seems fine.
Hard to tell if it's had any cosmetic repairs etc. as I'm no expert.

Is it priced well for what you get. It was spec'd with 437m wheels but has the 666 dark wheels, still contemplating on whether to have the dealer switch back to the 437m (which they have offered to do)

Anything else I need to check?

Looks very nice and a decent price. Don't use their finance deal tho, that is more than I put down and pay monthly for new.

The dark 666 look lovely but for the drive, I'd swap to the 19" 437m wheels. They should knock a bit off if you do that as the 666 are worth more.

Check it had it's running in service around the 1200 mile mark give or take.

Yeah running service done at 1264 miles from memory

And yeah that's my dilemma on the wheels, these do look nice, but I also really like the 437m, so yeah I guess for the drive 437m might be better

What is more than you put down for new - 46k?

no I paid £55k for the M4 and I don't have the full leather (mistake!). I mean the down payment and monthlies. The APR must be high?

The cash price seems fair.

I have a set of black 437s for the winter and they look good too with Silverstone. And as a bonus, the weight of the 437ms and tyres is a little less than the 666 by my measurement.

Yeah I'm leaning towards the 437m as originally I wanted a non-cp anyway, wasn't keen on the CP, but it's grown on me. So I guess going 437m will give me best of both worlds. Although wondering if I'd be quids in to buy 437ms myself and sell the 666 privately

You might be if you can find a mint set. I paid £1500 for mine nearly 2 years ago and they had just done a few hundred miles. So I've got a nearly new set of MPSS in the store from when I swapped for the winters and can't wait for an excuse to put them on. That said, really now I need another set of 437s: My wife will kill me!

Yeah not going to finance via BMW, not at 8.9% APR

Will just cash buy it, hence why I was hoping to find one nearer the £40k mark

[K81M3]

Just checked WBAC and they value it at £39k and Cazana values it £46.8k - that's some profit they are making

If everything stacks up and you like all the options get it snapped up. Full leather doesn’t come up often and it really makes a big difference.
