F30 340i Manual -- Purchase Price? -- UPDATE: CAR PURCHASED! Pic added
So I am in the market for a 340i. The only requirements I really have are MT, leather seats, M sport package, and under like 60k miles. I guess that's pretty specific...I am finding this car very difficult to find with these options, and when I do, they want like $45k+. Any suggestions? Is this a fair price to be paying? Seems rather steep for a 4 to 6 year-old 3-series, but it could just be the market currently with the inventory shortages going on. Any advice is sincerely appreciated, thanks!
Also, I am new to this forum, so if I am posting this in the wrong place, please let me know and I will move it. Thank you! Last edited by Nardo32; 01-21-2022 at 09:40 PM.. Reason: Bought the car, updating title to reflect that. |

Yeah those will fetch a premium, there are so few on the market. That being said, I have one. 2016, m-sport, alpine white, 38k, rwd, dakota leather, adaptive susp, adaptive LEDs, 7 cameras and of course 6mt. In storage right now, but let's talk. I think I'm ready for an M3😁

It's a crazy market out there and I don't think it's going to correct for a while yet. Good luck.

damn 45k? i got lucky i got my 6MT 340i xdrive, with all options, right before the insane covid price spike. got my 2017 CPO from a bmw dealer for 37.5k. this was last february.
one of the main reasons i wanted this car was because the 6MT hold its value as we are seeing less and less manual luxury awd cars going forward.

-edited- in jest, my car is not for sale gents. |

Just for an added data point, I just paid 45k for 2018 340i xDrive w/ M-Sport + Premium + Track Handling Packages. CPO w/ 6k miles on it. It's automatic, though, but came with an Individual Color.
I would imagine some diehards would say that is overpriced and maybe so, but I also traded in a '21 VW GTI Autobahn with 9k miles (6MT) and they gave me $5k more than I paid for it brand new, so it's all relative. |

There are 33 340i MTs for sale on cars.com right now. This will give you some idea of current pricing .

Honestly, I wouldn't touch a 340i right now with the prices. They are about 10k more than an equal 330i. You would be better off taking that 45k from an F30 340i and buying a nicely trimmed F31 wagon from Bring a Trailer. Or any wagon. Better in the long term.

Keep checking here on classifieds as there are some forum members here that just want a quick sale and don’t care about trying compete with sleazy used car dealerships. I mean if you’re willing to spend 45 for a high mileage manual 340i just buck up 3-5k more and go get yourself a manual m2, m3 or m4....the manuals on those cars are more available and for some strange reason I’ve seen some great examples of these cars out there ( 15’ and 16’ models ) for pretty good prices. |

I paid 35k for my 2018 430i with less than 4k miles and fully loaded in 6/2020 before prices got crazy. Was a good deal in my opinion but wish I held out for a 440i. I love it but doesn't have any soul (too quiet) and not very quick.

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you for all the help. I ended up getting one with 33k miles, certified, for 37k. I feel like that's a good price in today's market? But honestly I am not even sure. Thanks again!
