A bit overpriced.

Used Cars for Sale: Listings Near 02818 - Cars.com

Here is a red one with 10k miles going for around 44.

2008 BMW M3, $44,880 - Cars.com

When I was looking at these cars not too long ago I was blown away by how inexpensive (relatively speaking) they had become. They are all over the place now so you really have your pick and the prices have been plummeting. I would not pay more than 41-42 for a car with less than 15k miles. The prices that you are seeing are a bit inflated IMO.

This would be my 4th M3 (two E36 M3 and one E46 M3) if I do get one, which I think is a little nuts for someone who really is a general car guy rather than an M3 fanboi.

I am a bit surprise at how relatively cheap they have become. What gives? Terrible reliability? M3 demographic couldn't really afford the car? What do you think?

Before we bought our S4 Avant, we were looking hard for a red/beige/NAV M3 sedan that BMW was trying to give away back in late 08, couldn't find one.

It's not a reliability issue I asure you. As I've mentioned before, mine has covered 26k as my DD and primary track car, without batting an eye. I love this car, but it is time to transfer primary track day duties to something else. I got some good news last week, we'll see what happens

I know the RS4 is a great car. In fact, prior to my M cars I was a divout Audi fan with my B5 S4 and was set to move on to the B7 RS4. However, living in a climate that allows me to drive RWD year round the M3 won out big time. It helped that I DD'd an e39 M5 prior to deciding on an e92M, but trust me, for a long time the RS4 was the top of the list. In the end, the M3 was just more fun. Regardless, if you decide on an RS4, you're still getting a phenomenal performace saloon!!

yeah plus I figured your last M3/Savage ordeal sort of ruined the whole M car experience for you. Why not consider jumping back into a CPO E46? They are relatively pricey but to my mind at least the E46 is more 'classic' M3 than the E90/92. Or do you need four doors no question?
