Need some advice on a used 2012 E92 M3

[Sm2s]

Do you guys think this is a good deal or a little overpriced? If so, what would be a good counter offer? How much do you guys think the car would be worth in two years from now?

Year: 2012
Model: Gray e92 with two tone red and black interior
Miles: 36k miles (I find them a little high for the year)
Transmission: DTC
Optionals: Every optional including competition package and enhanced premium sound.
Clean carfax, 1 owner

For $50k (from a dealer)

Is it CPO?

No it is not a certified pre-owned. Just plain used from some dealer (not bmw dealer)

Offer 45 k and settle at 46.5k.

In three months or so, it will drop at least to 45-47 k offer price if it does not move. So, just offer now and see what happens. For 55k you can get a loaded 2013 with 20k miles.

If you can squeeze 55k seek a 2013 with half the miles on it.

This is a better deal

The problem is that i'm having trouble finding a nice clean one for a good price down here near the miami area. That comes with dct of course. A lot of them here are very overpriced idk why

I'm in the process of purchasing a 2012 e92 MW with blk/red fully loaded dct with 21k mi. In service date of 7/12. Partial clear bra and near flawless exterior/interior, non-cpo, clean car fax and only dealer issue was a rattle. $52k. Not the greatest but seems to be fair. It's from carmax so no negotiating available. I think you could probably get them down 2-3k if it's been on their lot a while.

Do you guys think that with that many miles in the car it still is a good purchase?

cash or finance through dealer?
have a trade?

There's a lot more factors that goes into a car's quote when a dealer gives you a number.

read my posts on this page, read what others have been paying, then let's talk:

Keep in mind, people in this thread hasn't been accounting for cash/finance/trade parts of the equation. A dealer can give you a better price if you finance through him...of course, generally, you're paying more in interest than the deal he's giving you off the list price. Same goes with trades.


I would say for your car, with a cash deal, no trade, I would aim for high $40s, say $46-8k. But we don't know anything about this car, sticker price, condition, etc.

Personally, I would pass on this car or ask for a bigger discount. It has been driven more than the average vehicle in the US by about 6k miles a year.

45k and get BMW platinum warranty

I just purchased a 2012 with 14k miles for 53k. It was in mint condition and bought from the local BMW dealer that knew the full history (see pics in my earlier post). Mine is fully loaded with ZCP, ZPP and ZWP (I think I got the codes right). It was CPO but they reduced it to a non-CPO to get rid of the summer inventory since winter is coming up her near the wall in Wisconsin!

I think it's fine because it's one owner and the car was probably not completely abused. Since the car is 2012 it's probably not modded and then returned back to stock, not enough time. There are so many miles in a short time that those are probably freeway miles, not track miles. Freeway miles are better than track or city miles. I think it's more important to find a good car than a good price. But it couldn't hurt to offer a low price since it's a buyers market.

Miles seem high. I'd pass but that's just me. I'd look to get one with under 20k.

Is this the car by any chance?

If so, contrary to what you've been told or seen, it does not appear to have the advertised Competition Package nor the 19' Y spoke alloy wheels that go with that option. It's got the 19" wheel option, but that's all. Big difference between the two.
Just thought to check into it a bit, and, advise you on what I've seen.

The picture doesn't match the description of that car. Mentions y spoke wheels but wrong option number too

[MineralWhiteDropTop]

Offer what you want to pay for it. They will take it if the car has been sitting too long.

[Sm2s]

I ended up getting the car. The guy showed me the window sticker and it says competiton package. So i'm pretty certain it does have it.
Thank you for all the responses, i really appreciate it!

How much were you able to negotiate down If you don't mind me asking?
