New to forum / Looking for CPO 2008/09 E90

jmarino21 · 08-23-2011, 11:01 AM

Hello world...first post on the forum! Cleveland born and raised.

I recently got a promotion at work and decided I was tired of driving Toyotas. My parents drove BMWs when I was little (they have since downsized unfortunately) and I have always been a huge fan.

I can't afford a brand new one but I figure a CPO 2008/2009 would be a pretty awesome car to have...definitely want a sedan.

I've done a lot of research on the M3 and am pretty much looking for a fully loaded, black exterior/interior, moonroof, DCT, etc...

Making this post to introduce myself, get some general advice, and probably get ridiculed a little bit for being a car newb :P

Any comments are welcome...I plan to be patient on the purchase to get the right deal at a fair price...hopefully I can find my car come spring time!

-James

You can also buy non-CPO and buy the extended warranty. Probably comes out to a wash between the two.

Remember, if you're paying over 40k for a fully loaded 08 Sedan with less than 40k miles, you're paying too much. Check out the "Used M3 pricing" thread.
