New to the family in Colorado (CPO '13 328i)

It's always been my childhood to own a BMW. I spent a few years in Europe as a kid and had a next-door neighbor that was a BMW salesman. I remember driving in his brand new 3 series in '99 and was amazed at the car. From then on, my father and I would attend any and all auto shows we could and I'd always sit in the 3 series and dream about the day I'd own one.

That day has come.

I purchased a 2013.5 VW GLI new in early 2014 and while it was nice, it wasn't really what I wanted. Having put on about 20k miles on the car, I decided it was time to move on. I started a search (it ended up being a very short search) for a 3 series. Yesterday, I found my F30. In the form of a 2013 328i (N20), my dream is going to be fulfilled. With the recent hail storms we've had here in Denver, I'd like to think I was given a great deal on my trade (600-1400 below blue book) in given that I had about 4k of unrepaired hail damage on the GLI. The CPO 328 has just under 19k miles and was priced at just under 27k. There was some damage (spiderweb cracks to the paint) on the front bumper a scuff to the rear quarter panel. It was agreed that both would be fixed on the sale of the car. And, for the hell of it, given that the dealer was a Dinan dealer, Dinan stage one would be added in the next two weeks.

TL;DR Out the door for under 30k I'm getting a '13 328i /w Dinan Stage 1 under 20k miles and in great condition.

Dealer pic. I'll update with my own once I complete the pick-up later this afternoon.


The wheels will be the first to go, then the halogens. I'm thinking I'll add some exterior trim as well. Can't wait to start working on her.

Congrats on your purchase! I got my own pre-owned E90 about 2 years ago and I can still remember the feeling of satisfaction and joy. Enjoy your ownership and mods!

Congrats and nice car. But this is the F80, F82 and F83 forum. You are in the wrong place.

I realized this shortly after I posted. This actually the General BMW News and Cars Discussion, and not specific to F80/2/3. Still in the wrong place nonetheless.
