E90 M3s for sale?

x77md · 02-17-2023, 01:40 PM

Anybody know somebody putting a well specced e90 M3 for sale or somebody who can be coerced into doing so?

Must haves are EDC/DCT/Heated leather, mileage flexible…

Been scouring cutters, fbm, AT the usual but no luck…

Need to upsize to a 4dr and need to scratch the 4.0 V8 itch!!

Cheers

These M sedan's turn up a couple of times per month on Bring a Trailer and Cars&Bids. At least with BaT you can set up an email alert on that type of auction. Cars&Bids lets you set up an email drop showing you all new auctions once per day.

Good news for you -- the DCT cars seem to fetch just a little less money than the MT.

US based websites though unfortunately here in UK finding one in the right spec is close to impossible atm

Currently only 372 E90's have an MOT. Just 196 of those are DCT.

I'm out at the moment so can't tell you how many of those 196 have EDC and Heated Seats, but I imagine it's quite a few less.

The E90 M3 has always been rare, but it's becoming incredibly scarce now.

Here’s the latest stats,…

Wow incredibly rare, with only like 5 DCT for sale on the forums/AT and none being LCI & DCT… it is literally a deep dive to find one

I did go to see one that’s off market - LCI, DCT EDC Heated seats. Lovely mechanically but the exterior was sketchy. Front bumper very much moving away from the bonnet (?crash) and a respray and all wheels refurb needed.

Still made an offer but it makes me think with so few available it’s gonna be an immense task to find an LCI DCT EDC that is in mint condition…

May go and see a non-EDC to see if I can bear without EDC and widen the the net

dar2008 · 02-28-2023, 04:12 PM

Remember that for the E90, LCI was from September 2008.

That said, any built before March 2010 would still be classified as EURO4, rather than EURO5.

Don't worry about EDC. Think of it as an excuse to get coilovers

I do like the idea of the ride ‘firming’ up on demand when going from comfort to hoon time

I’m gonna go see a non-edc example to see if I can get on ok without edc

Pretty set on an e90 I can’t think of a better car for me atm

@m3list on instagram lists 10's of them per day. Most are in the U.S. but from what I've seen the owner of the page has a knack for connecting people. Reach out to him and I bet he knows of some for sale.

x77md · 04-15-2023, 03:34 PM

335i gone (sad to see it go but hopefully new owner enjoys) - e90 m3 on hold due to new house purchase but looking for an e39 530/540 run around as a stop gap - if anyone knows of any chaps selling - please hit me up
