Leasing a 2010. Dunno if you can find a used 08+ M3 for $30k though. Maybe you should consider a Lexus? 3-series tend to be unreliable except for M3.

The member here who works for BMW did say the M cars didn't have much problems.

$25-30k before or after finance? Either way it can take you a long way in a Lexus.What sucks is pretty much most of their cars are auto.Im guessing you wanted a manual 335.

Yeah man it was soo nice and white with peanut leather inside
sucks bmw's are the way just read more reviews on a sight that deals with traffic problems with cars and most of them are about the fuel pump problem some ppl were driving down the freeway and the car just turned off

how can bmw not get sued for this? they are still making models of this car it does not make sense


anyways just found a nice one series way under budget that is a private owned with m package and stuff might look into that

cheaper car = faster turbo/fixer uper for my s2k

fosho thanks peeps

just called 3 dealerships and they told me everything about the car

service techs are badass lol

but anyways the car just had its fuel pump changed in 2011 before that they had 3 different fuel pump models

plus on that car the fuel pump has a 10 yr extended warranty on the fuel pump alone and the car has 1 year left of full warranty

It sounds like you've made up your mind on the BMW, but you could keep it in the family and get a used TL SH-AWD.... I mention that only because you said you wanted luxury and because you have an S2K, so I know you like to drive...shall we say..."spritied"????

Just a thought. Good luck with the purchase, whatever you decide.

My 01 IS300 was VERY VERY close to 300k miles on it before someone trashed it.Still on original fuel pump and almost everything else really except for the usual maintenance stuff.
