Already at $25k with 6 days to go. Slicktop, 42k miles, lightly modified - t his one’s likely to bring a lot. Color choices aren’t my preference, but looks great.

Definitely see it getting $40, would love to see it get near $50!

Given the price some of the 08s have gone for, it’s going to get over 40. I think 50 is a bit of a stretch , but I wouldn’t be surprised it if tops that. Really makes me wish I had gotten a ZCP one back in the day, but I was so tired of waiting for one.

I almost bought a red one! I was minutes from leaving the dealer where I bought the Black M3. It was a newer better car with less miles and we all know that I love colors. It was a little further away and more expensive, but I would have bought it had I not gotten a really great deal (initially) on the one I ended up buying. Hindsight and all that...

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > E90M3 04/25/2019 at 09:58

Yeah, there’s no way it hits 50. Over 40 may even be a stretch, looking at this, but only one way to know if prices have bottomed out for rare, low-mileage examples...

Red cars are more reliable. It’s a fact.

There’s never been a ZCP 6MT E90 on BAT before, so this will dictate the market. I think given some of the low mileage 08s they’ve sold, such as this one , I think it’s going to easily crest 40, but it’s going to stall after that. Although, if I’d been looking for one and had 50k to spend, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy this for 50k.

Didn’t realize it was a first - EAG got them all prior? Ha!

If it was all OEM, collectors might get in on this, but it’s modified just enough to keep them out, I think.

I don’t even think EAG has one now!

I could see that.

I like the color choices on this one personally. Doesn’t seem to be a common color on the E90 either. Very nice - though I would not want a slic ktop.

It’s a good combo, but I prefer blue to red, and modern  tan interiors, though classic, rarely appeal to me.

DAYUM, if I was in the market for a sports sedan then that would be the one, even if I’m not crazy about the color combo (Sparkling Graphite on Fox Red leather w/carbon trim was the best)

SG w FR does look awesome.

Have you found a buyer for  your 911?

WilliamsSW > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com 04/25/2019 at 12:50

I prefer blue really, too, but this one looks nice and I haven’t seen it often.

I have an E46 with a tan interior that I ordered myself. I like it, obviously, but it shows its age more than a dark color would.

I haven’t listed it yet. It’s been on the back burner since I’ve been traveling a lot. And I want to detail it myself and take it in for yearly service first.

But I am going to sell it. A twin turbo V8 wagon will just be better suited for me now, especially since we’ll be getting a big ass dog soon. I may go to the darkside and put it on BaT. We’ll see.

I assume it will get snapped up super-quick by a very grateful buyer. Wish it could be me, but such is life... Would be fun to watch the sale on BaT. 

What is this big ass dog of which you speak?

Do you have a ballpark price in mind yet - sorry not familiar with the 997.1 market these days.

I might be looking for something a bit more forgiving suspension wise than my Z4M, and the 911 fits that bill nicely.

This will go for big coin. Even more since it satisfies all the “I HATE SUNROOFS” fetish there seems to exist in the BMW crowds.

I’ll have to do more research but I was told m id-high 30's is a fair approximation. Higher side of miles (just under 90k), but it has always been well maintained and is a loaded build and It has a couple of very expensive aftermarket upgrades: TechArt Type I steering wheel: https://www.sharkwerks.com/product?id=4588 and TechArt Varioplus coilovers: https://www.vividracing.com/techart-varioplus-coilover-suspension-kit-porsche-997-p-36045.html

Very sharp turn-in, zero body roll, damping is adjustable but at its current setting I couldn’t call them forgivable.

Less weight and more headroom for your helmet!

We have a goldendoodle pup - he’s 60 lbs at 6 months! Hoping he doesn’t get too far above 80.

Oh wow, that is a nice one, going to break the $50k mark for sure.

I am 5 ft. 9 and I had 0 issues when tracking my E90 with a helmet. I realize that there are much taller people out there but I don't consider myself short.

I’m 6'1" (34 inseam) and I just barely fit with my helmet on inside mine (with sunroof). I have to recline the seat a little more than I’d like to make it work .

There are times when it’s very nice to have the sunroof.

Sounds like a real gem, certainly would love to get the nitty gritty details once you are closer to parting with it.

Forgivable is relative. Porsche platforms are built as a sports car from the ground up whereas the M cars are a shared chassis and compromised from the start. My car is on KW Clubsports as well, predominantly a fan of smooth pavement.

If I ever win the lottery (zero chance of that) and send my car to IND for a full repaint, it’d be a very tough choice between this and Technoviolet...

An M2C in LBB may be in my future.

Same height, I fit with 0 issues in either of my cars.

Sparkling Graphite on Fox Red leather w/carbon trim was the best

That was an 08 only option, after 08 it was space grey, which is what my car is.

Yeah, I was disappointed they discontinued it.

I nearly bought a new M3 in ‘09.  Glad I didn’t, it would have been a very stupid move financially at the time.

Sadly, E90  M3 production ended when I was still in college, so I never even had the chance.

I’m surprised it went for that little considered an 08 with more miles sold for basically the same price. I wonder what affected the value on this one. That said, very nicely bought at this price. Might have to give EAG a call about that white one, see if we can work out a deal. Although, I did tell myself I need to stop spending all my money on cars. I really should just get the 3 paid for and live with what I have.

I think it’s a fair price. Colors and light mods kept the price from going crazy. You’ve got a very nice pair! No reason to swap yours out.
