STARS: 4
This E90 M3 has literally no options. It’s painted in the only color that wasn’t a cost option. Not that it’s a bad thing, I would have preferred my M3 in this color. It even has cloth seats:
No sunroof, no auto-dimming mirrors, no idrive, no heated seats, no nothing. Unlike mine, which has 10k in options , this has $0. This car was the bare minimum you could get from BMW. When I was shopping for my E90, I shunned cars like this. Now, I like it.

I want this for some odd reason. Maybe because there’s almost nothing to break on it...

I’ve got heated seats in both of mine. While I might not live in Canada, they are great for winter.

In 5-10 years a car optioned like this will sell for a premium. Same thing happened with the E46 and E36.

It does still have the optional 19 inch wheels though?

Couldn’t you get the 220Ms in 18 and 19 inch?

Possibly. I have liked living my idrive, so I wouldn’t ditch it.

All you need is the “ultra touch fine line sports whack a mole” package for $5,000 to get heated seats.
God I despise BMW pricing.
Although most auto makers are now doing the same thing. You want our stick shift model? It’s either bottom of the barrel or top of the line for you bud.

Actually, you could get heated seats for something like $500. They were also part of the cold weather pack, that was $1000.

35 large for a 6 year BMW with almost 60k mileage and two owners........investment grade or not, this would be like spending bitcoin on a car or to really drive this point home like being a beer with bitcoin.

While I like my leather seats, I would love a BMW with cloth seats, especially if it sits in the sun all day.

The E90s seem to be holding their value pretty well. I thought the E90 prices were going to drop when the new one came out, but seeing as a lot of people prefer the E90 to the F80, that didn’t really happen.

Back in 2009 I almost ordered a 135 with the only options being that metallic black paint and red leather. This is possibly how I would have ordered an M3, but again the only options being cosmetics.

Honestly, you really don’t need any options on the M3. They’re nice, but nothing is a must have.

As someone who lives in Texas and has no covered parking at home or at work, those seats speak to me. It’s youre gonna have black leather seats here, they need to be ventilated.

I used to live in Texas, San Antonio to be exact, and my 128i with black seats used to sit outside. It was the worst getting into that car. The M3 had a garage, so it wasn’t as bad; until I came out of HEB it was 9 million degrees inside my car.

An E9X M3 with zero options still has more options than my partially optioned Lexus.
This car is awesome. And white!!!

I looked at the brochure, looks like you’re correct. I had always assumed that you could get the 220Ms in both 18 and 19 inches.
Also this car has a power seat, not sure how they got that. I thought you had to get Premium Pack II to get the power seats, which this car doesn’t have. I also decoded the VIN and “Seat Adjustm., Electr. W. Memory” was not an option selected.

Aesthetically, the F80 M3 (4 door version right?) looks better than just about any other M car. Excluding the M coupe, CSL e46, e39 M5.
