So, my 2013 335 was recently totaled in an accident. Considering a new M3, potentially a new 335. But I came across a black on black, fully loaded 6mt 335 for 37k $. It's in like new condition w 24k miles. Let's say I don't pull the trigger on the M3, would you consider this 335 a good deal?

With the lci around the corner it might be worth it to hold off and see what the improvements are to engine, steering and suspension.

Personally, i think my 2013 335 with the option 704 suspension is still too soft and i wouldn't purchase it again. Especially not a used one for $37k which is the same price as a slightly older but much better e90 m3

Thanks for the info and Good point on the e90 M3. I could wait a bit but not too long on my next car. I can only ride my bicycle to work for so long this summer and I do travel by car for work occasionally.

One of my issues is that I'm here in Europe but want to take the car back to the states w me in a few years, and there is much less inventory here. For example, finding a decent used M3 in U.S. spec with MT is difficult. And it doesn't make sense to buy a second hand Euro spec because they pay a lot more than we do cars.

What I'm discovering is that my best route is to do the mil/diplo purchase program again. That basically leaves the 335 or M3 with a MT. 435 GC can't be had in MT I reckon. I looked into an S4 but the Mil discount is way better on BMWs.

First world problems!

Yes order the f80 or get an e90 m3 from the US and ship it over there temporarily

I've got a family member in the car business..maybe he can find me an E90 M3 w MT. Normally I'd buy one from a private party in the US it's more difficult to coordinate from here and I don't trust what I can't test drive and see first hand.

So, I've decided on an F80 from Mil/Diplo sales here in Brussels (US Spec). Good price and can order bespoke. Thinking of moonstone or mineral white w/ 6MT of course.
