I bought this M3 brand new on 4/30/16 with the hope that it could serve as the "do-all" vehicle (fun/practical/sporty). It is ridiculously capable, but is missing some of the engagement my 981CS had, so I am looking to sell and get back into a P Car.

$72,000 MSRP
Mineral white metallic
6-spd manual
Black leather interior
1,200 miles (break-in service performed)
Competition package
Enhanced Bluetooth/USB

On trade, the vehicle is worth about $64k. Resale from a dealer has been MSRP in this area since not much in the way if inventory.

$66,500/obo, or trade for your perfect 997.2 C2S plus cash on your end, or GTS depending on options. Must be manual transmission.

What engagement specifically? I was thinking of getting into an F80 next.

ZCPSnob

I actually had an e92 ZCP w/6MT, and prefer the driving experience of that over the f80 as well, mostly because of the engine characteristics.

It feels a little like the f80 was designed using formulas rather than intuition. Like it is too perfect. Combined with the sub-par s55 sound and large size, I would just rather go back to daily driving my 10 year old GX470 and get a 911 for the weekend/special drives.

Another way I've compared them is thst in a Porsche, it feels like you are actually piloting the car, while in the BMW you are more along for the ride.

I know I'm not doing myself any favors trying to sell the f80, but it is in fact a great car. There are no other options that come close if you want a sport luxury sedan with manual transmission. Hell, I even get 28mpg at 70mph on the highway.

ZCPSnob

Lowered price a little to be at my bottom dollar. If I don't get $66,500 for it, I will just hold on for another year.

I am hoping another enthusiast with a 997 has children that are getting older and wants to move into a four door sport sedan that would be a great fit for a trade.

Let me know!

good price

Funny I've been thinking about picking up an e92 for fun but the prices have been remarkably resilient and it's almost worth it to get an f80!

Ive been debating an e90/92 m3 or cayman s/gts to get a more n/a engaging driving experience to go along with my 997tt. I guess we are all looking for the same thing which is lacking in all the modern turbo cars

ZCPSnob

FWIW, I sold my 2011.75 e92 M3, fully loaded but with 6MT and CF roof + M Perf exhaust and 32k miles for $41k. If I would have held out, I probably could have gotten $43k.

The struggle is real. I haven't driven a turbo car that provided the level of smiles I get from high revving NA.

Sold my 2011 E90 ZCP 6MT for $42k... in 5 days. I do miss 8300 RPM but the opportunity to get into my TTS was more important than another thousand or two. Wife also wanted to have some fun (she can't drive MT).

Similarly, I really like the TTS but the end goal is finding the right 997 GT3/RS. I find it interesting how many enthusiasts trade M-cars and 911s, or have both.

ZCPSnob

I'm in Minneapolis, and have family in Madison. If you decide to move forward with an F80, it would be fairly easy distance-wise.

I have a friend that works at a dealer up here, and in our region there are zero 2016 allocations left right now. He said the soonest someone could take delivery of an ordered M3 (e.g. Comp pack) would be September/October as a 2017.

ZCPSnob

1,200 mile service complete. Fresh fluids throughout and ready to be driven!

Do you have more pics? Which roof do you have?

ZCPSnob

Carbon Fiber roof.

Sale tentatively pending (actually leasing it to someone?). I'll report back if it falls though.
