Man, the M3 you would find in that price range would either have close to 150k on it or be pre-2000.

My budget was something of a similar mix but under 30k and I ended up with my 8. Factoring in cost, mileage, my giant 6'5" person, and what I got for my money it was the better bet. Looking back, an M3 would have been nice but I love the 8.

Dude the 8 is not for everyone. No car is for everyone. If noone ever sold their 8s, you wouldn't be able to buy used ones.... Him wanting more horsepower is nothing for you to blow up about

Go drive it and see if you like it. Just remember once you turbo your 8, if something goes wrong, you still need a car to get to work. So maybe take 1000 of that and buy yourself a reliable beater.

When I go to the showroom is it customary to ask for a better deal or are the prices for new cars fixed ?

Thanks

Well, I don't know about the other countries, but here in the EU you can get some discount, it differs from country to country, in Bosnia for example you will get a discount if you pay in cash, but the price will go up if you buy the car over the bank, which is logical. There is no bargain in terms, hey, this car is 20.000$, can I get it for 19.000$ ? Because that dealer is just an ordinary worker, and not the owner of the auto saloon. Hope I helped

bicycle for the win

what about a 1 series M? has anyone mentioned that yet? I test drove a 135 a few years ago when my 8 was really irritating me and loved it, I'd imagine this thing would be a lot of fun as well, probably mad expensive and I don't think it's out yet but whatever lol
