Another Imola F80 M3

RowanBuds · 03-18-2015, 07:58 PM

Imola Red F80. Has 2600+ miles on it, located in North New Jersey. 6MT, CCB, Full Leather.

Wanted to take a look at something on an M3, so popped into some dealers. Stumbled upon this Imola Red example, which I'm guessing is an executive demo car. Color really looks great on this car in the metal. Pasting imgur link as I don't know a better way to make photos available.

Love it, much better than the ferrari red. That was almost obscenely bright

Too funny, this car was for sale about 3 weeks ago at a used car dealer in VA. I guess Paul miller grabbed it and decided to try to rape the next owner. Car was previously advertised for 75k.

Sounds about right.

Paul Miller always gives the rape with no lube! i will never ever do any business with them!

Nice find

Falafel Combo · 03-19-2015, 05:07 AM

One of the better reds I've seen. Looks good here.

JTO24 · 03-19-2015, 06:35 AM

Looks real good but it won't sell at 84k with 2500 miles on the clock.

chris s · 03-19-2015, 07:44 AM

No, it won't... their justification will be that they certified it. lol

gold calipers are tragic, as is the price.

I had a bad experience in trying to deal with them for my ED, but it was one bad CA in particular. The guy I met last night had much better personal skills, but still had a bad taste when they wouldn't open the car up for me - AND IT'S A USED CAR! Good take-away from the Paul Miller visit last night is now that I've gotten to see the CCBs in person, I'm pretty sure I made the right choice.

When I went to this dealer in September/October laying the groundwork for my F80 I felt like I wasn't taken seriously at all as a customer. CA, after 15 minutes of talking said he had to talk with the GM. When he came back he told me "I talked with my manager and we don't want to do any Euro Delivery orders". Left a piss-poor taste in my mouth, and I most likely will not do any business with them in the future.

Imola is a fantastic color, looks great on the F8x.

I'd be really excited to see what an Imola interior looks like, as opposed to Sakhir.

Just one more reason I despise the dealership model. I hope the ridiculously anachronistic laws that allow them to exist are eventually repealed. If BMW could sell cars directly, there would be none of this non-sense.

I got mine from there and had no problems whatsoever, I feel like it really depends on the CA you're dealing with. Mine was awesome, very helpful, got 3K off MSRP and that was back in march of last year

The biggest ripoff ever. They act like they are the schnizz because they are also a highline dealer. But they rip you off there too.

+1 for Tesla and their win in New Jersey the other day. The dealers association was lobbying hardcore to try to pass legislation that would ban Teslas direct sales model.

Man it looks good. Didn't like it much on the E46 but looks so good on the F80!
