I'm looking at a few cars.
- AMG CL45 (would be a new lease, all others below would be a used)
- BMW M3 - E9X ( i love this look, good information in this thread on the issues, but it looks like it's up to the owner for proactive maintenance)
- M3 e9X 4 door
- 335 xdrive
- Porsche Cayenne (they're are quite cheap, why?)
As much as a car enthusiast as i am. My time for performance and fast speeds has come to a stop. I really am going for something more for the "flash" yet with some power.
I had a Integra, modded to the max, but more so for performance. I think this was the worst decision i've ever made. I told myself, that the next car i purchase, i'll purchase it for the flash and not the dash.
The flash is what gets the girls. You think the chicks know the difference between a Audi R8 V8 vs the V12? As a guy, i would pick up the V12, but wtf. NO one knows it's a v12 except for the boys. (This statement is just an analogy, most of us are married, me soon time).
anyway.
Should i pick up a BMWZ m3 E9X from the dealership? and purchase warranty (is this what you guys are saying)?
How do you know if the RB's are Fxsd?

How do you know ? Ask....or there should be record of it. And it'll probably be advertised stating it's been done .

it was all going so well...until you typed this garbo. How do you know ? Ask....or there should be record of it. And it'll probably be advertised stating it's been done .
Flash is what gets the clients, essentially the foreign cash monies, thus, these people don't know shit. Which is exactly the same as most of the girls (which is why i used this analogy).
I would get a car out of the box and not have to deal with modding anything. Maybe Chip (if BMW's do that, i know audi's do this). Slap on some rims, tint, call it a day.
Lambo out of my price range by almost 2000points.

+1 on the flash if this is for biz, and your target is the chinar monies XD
In that case, you should get something new (i assume you can write this off).
E90 you have rod bearings and the rear diff (though a non issue if you aren't really driving the thing hard XD), the cla45 is super nice, but you are living with 26psi boost. With that motor boosted to the moon and the heat it needs to deal with, i bet running costs will be high as the car ages. Pick your poison XD
Cayenne resale is bad - read up on consumer reviews. Maint is bad too. Plus, p car tax is even greater than bmw tax. Enjoy buying parts to service the thing.
Go buy an S4 /clubsiOT.
Dealers are giving lots of incentive for them as the new gen is coming out.
There's a nice red one with low km's on trader asking 43 iirc (it's a 2015).
335 has its fare share of issues too (hffp, carbon build up, turbos, coil packs, water pump, tstat etc).
If you are really after flash and you are driving prospects around, an audi or benz interior is arguably light years ahead of bmw (esp the e90 gen...which looks a bit OG--i happen to like it, but to many it's going to seem dated).

Not sure what line of work you're in but there isn't much flash when it comes to the e9X m3.
Are you driving people around?
You're better off getting a used Bentley or just go lease a luxo barge like the new S Class

Op get an Audi A7 s Line used if you want to stunt on a budget.
An e90 m3 looks like an "older" 3 series to most and the general population doesn't appreciate the beautiful distinct features of the m car that sets it aside from a base 3.

I always wanted an M3.
WTF. i'm not made of money, i am looking for a used M3 (which is the top of my budget).
I've found 2010/11 E9X with 80-90km, Manual for $36k at BMW Dealerships. Compared this to a $1100Lease (x12months x 3 years = 39k) for S4 or CLA45.
Leasing is good for my business, but been on this no car payment thing for 2 years now and i'm kinda liking it.

I"m in for a group by E90 M3.
Lets go!
Edit: I don't particularly drive clients around, and if i do, it's usually 2 people MAX. With some of my clientele, they can care less how comfortable the car is if it's an M. lol.
Al though, a more business route would be to pick up a nicer 4 door. Just not sure what, C300 are cheap and nice. But then it's like i have two 4-door cars! TO me, that seems like such a waste.

What was all that flash, non performance car , silly girl analogy talk about ?
I can go the route of 335 with mods to hit the performance of an M3. Or i can get an M3. M3 is flashier than a 335, but with RB issues (which is why i'm asking if ideally i should get it with warranty from the stealership).

What kind of business are you in that an m3 would make sense to have? Also, whether you're leasing or financing or paying in full, you can write the car off for tax purposes.

Woah...seems high. I paid less than that over 3 years ago and I bought it CPO'd from a BMW dealership.
It does, however, seem like it's harder to find clean examples of the e9X m3.
