The 08's were less desirable due to the "weaker" clutch/ flywheel whatever, in the manual transmission along with the older infotainment. I'd rock a convert M3 in the lower mainland, just an 09+. If anything, some people still want top dollar for 'The last of the V8' M3. You are a sucker if you pay anything more than $40k for one, I don't care what condition, mileage or fancy frozen colour it is in. IMHO of course.

I had 2011 vert, to be frank, it is a different car than the e90 or e92. The car was a complete pig. +500lbs with no torque is not a good combo. The thing really handled like shit. Also the body flex was horrendous. My car was a full dinan s3r conversion and I would taken an oem m3 Comp over it. Sorry e93 m3s were a joke from a performance standpoint

My old sc430 had a bulletproof top that never skipped a beat but ive heard some stories about leaky tops from other hardtop owners of Volvos, miata, etc.

This CRX ad came back.
My friend and I were actually on our way there to see the car last weekend. Half way received a text saying it was sold. Now its back again, $500 more.
Pretty sure someone went there and checked out the car that day.
Anyone can comment on this car? I bet the pics are a lie...

Maybe not quite into good deal territory, but this looks to be a super clean example of a 330 ZHP coupe with reasonable mileage. As far as a fun daily driver goes - this is right up there in my books, great steering, fantastic short shifter, nice exhaust note, it's all there.

^ I can smell that interior from here. Only those who know will know.  
I think that is the lowest KM ZHP posted here in a while. If it was $2500 less it'd be a pretty good buy.

I saw that a while back, I have a CL saved search for 330ci’s. It’s a nice example but not quite in great deal territory. There was a time when there were people who didn’t know what they had were selling their ZAM 330ci’s on CL at regular 3 series prices. As far as the seller was concerned, it was “just their older BMW 3 series” that it was time to get rid of because maintenance was coming due. Now everyone selling a ZAM (or ZHP if it’s a US car) comes from the school of “I know what I have!!!!!”
One of these days a deal on one will pop up on CL and I’ll be in there quick.

Everything is seemingly too expensive out here in BC nowadays. I don’t have many regrets in life but two have been car related.. I had a chance to grab a super clean, one owner 92 NSX for ~35k about just over a decade ago. 2nd kid was on the way and thought I’d wait a bit as they’d surely only become more affordable later on in life.
Well shit.. long story short if you have a chance to get something you really want just do it because not everything goes as planned.

But when it is happening, I just can't bring myself to do it... Once you have a family that you are responsible for, you just can't do stuff that has a chance of putting them into jeopardy.  Quote:

Not sure what else you would want out of a BMW track car haha.
