That M3 is WAY overpriced now. Consider them to drop another 25% when the new M3 hits the streets. I like them but that mileage is WAY to high for $29,000 offer them $24,000 MAX

if you must trade it in for a bmw, look at the new Z4's, around 38k.
why pay for a car that has 60k miles on it.

I've had a few m3's...they are very reliable. I've never had a problem with any of mine really besides basic maintenance. Overall its a way better car than the Evo. BUT...if you want ***** out performance the Evo is the car to have. My evo now with 360whp flat out destroys modded m3's.

If you are going to pay that for a m3 buy a used CTS V ftw! Super Luxury and they are wicked fast.

BMWs tend to start to have problems that late into its lifespan, which is why so many people lease BMWs (since a lot of them also include free maintenance up to a certain point, usually coinciding with the end of a lease). Besides, an M3 with that many miles is questionable at best. They are fun to drive, though, especially with the RWD and a top end that our cars don't have. I just couldn't see myself forking over the dough for one.

As a side note, I used to work at a Toyota dealership, and I remember we had a 2004 M3 SMG with 49k miles and the factory option 19s, and it took us FOREVER to sell it. Our original asking price was ~$45k and we ended up dropping it to $34k (if I remember correctly) before we sold it... to an ex-employee who traded in his salvaged WRX for chump change.
