Would you like a side of warranty with that?

Well, if you would then you’re in luck, because !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! can be had with one. It might have an SMG gearbox, but it also has a V10 that revs all the way to its 8250 red line. Just look at that glorious engine:

Yeah, you’re probably going to have to replace the throttle position actuators and you might want to do the rod bearings, but for 31k you get a V10 M car.

While the outside might be a boring silver, the interior comes in this wonderful red.

It might be a convertible , but that just means you can hear the V10 better. Plus, since it’s a 2009, you get the iDrive that’s actually good enough to live with.

Would totally Doug DeMuro this with a Bumper to Bumper warranty.

I don’t think the $30k includes the additional warranty coverage.

Oh, it’s extra for sure.

It would make perfect sense to have two of these, right? One with each transmission?

I can tell you, for sure, the extra warr anty is possibly close to $10k for a 5 yr 125k mile (odo) warranty.

I don’t see why two E90 M3s would be a bad idea. I’m curious on how much it’s going to go for. Given what it is, I’m thinking ~22k.

Probably a good bet. The wheels and exhaust alone are worth a pretty penny. How much more would it sell for if manual? More like $25k?

I’ll eat my shoes if this has working turn signals.

I wonder if you can get a warranty on an E60 M5 (another one without indicators).

I’d like a side of roof with that and a second course of manual trans

Did see the mention of the exhaust, and that’ll probably help, plus the HRE wheels. That said, mods don’t usually seem to increase the value tremendously . So maybe 22k is a little low, but I’m going to stick to it and let the bidders prove me wrong.

Manual LCI cars seem to have a 2-6k premium on DCT cars, so 25-28k wouldn’t be unreasonable. Manual E90s in decent condition are getting hard to find.

No, I don’t think it will increase the sale price much, if at all, but it’s a very nice bonus for the buyer.

Of course it has working turn signals. Something can’t break if it’s never used.

Never followed up on this, but I was pretty much dead on the money.

Yes you were! Great buy at that price.

Kinda surprised it went that cheap, but I think we’re at the point where the E90 is more of an enthusiast car and less for people with money to show off; especially people on BAT. A lot more enthusiasts want the manuals, especially the LCI manuals, so I think we’re going to start seeing prices to diverge significantly soon.
