Desperately Looking for M3 E90 DCT

creasyb001 · 03-13-2009, 07:03 PM

I'm a long time visitor but this is my first post. I am retiring from the military in the next couple of weeks. Last year, my wife agreed on the purchase of an M3 as a retirement gift.....assuming I have other employment. Well, I'm thrilled to say I should have a job finalized by next week and am desperately looking for an M3 E90 but can't seem to find one that is equipped the way I want.

Any suggestions on locating an M3 other than calling each dealer and inquiring on their current inventory. I don't have the patience to order and am willing to fly anywhere in the U.S. to pick up...I'm in Virginia so would prefer not to travel to California but it's possible.

Does anyone have suggestions?

M3 E90
Non-black (black looks great but I'm not one to wax/wash as often as I probably should)
DCT
EDS
M-Drive
NAV
18" preferred

Most dealers will list inventory on autotrader. Just use new car as a parameter and whatever else you're looking for. I found mine this way and then reached out directly to the dealer. Good luck!

Congrats on you retirement, your gift and your wife.

Lots of dealers show their inventory online. Why don't you just start looking online in your area and expanding your search until you find one that you like?

Price will be another matter. Most of are paying invoice, plus a little. Hardly anyone is paying list. You might consider using a broker for $300 to $500. Of course, who knows, you could find a smoking deal here. If you get an '08, look for $10,000 or more off last year's invoice.

You can combine the MDM, Nav and EDC as the "Tech Package."

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
