2017 Lease Takeover Opportunity

[17LSBM3]

Hi all,

Baby on the way, so M3 will be replaced with something (much) bigger. This is tough for me because this was my dream package, but better things to come in the future!

The car is perfect and a joy to drive. The MPE is insane and Dinan may not be the fastest, but it sure is well balanced. I've done my best with the pics to show LSB in some different lighting scenarios. Sorry in advance for my poor photography skills.

Car details:

2017 M3
Laguna Seca Blue
Silverstone Full Merino
Ultimate Package
6 Speed Manual

Extras Included:

Dinan Stage 1 (Installed at Budd's BMW)
M-Performance Floor Mats
M-Performance Pedals

Lease Payment Info

$1,216.73 ($1,374.90 Including taxes)
38 Months Remaining
Car has 8,153 kms
Residual $45,225

Please see link below and PM with any questions:

effective payment of $1,533 (taxes incl.) for the remaining 38 months. What's the incentive here ? just having the Dinan S1 (approx. $4,000 value)

[17LSBM3]

Incentive is a special combination for a very reasonable payment over a slightly shorter term. Including the downpayment the effective payment I believe is $1,506. The downpayment is my original 5k. Residual is $45,225.

The down payment is negotiable, would like to see this go to a fellow enthusiast.

Beautiful car. It's really too bad you're selling. I am guessing you have had it less than a year.

Want to part out the MPE ?

[17LSBM3]

You would be correct. My wife and I took delivery of the M3 and 230i on the same day at the end of May. The very next day we found out we were pregnant with our first! Unplanned, but we are very happy!

We had ambitious visions of babying with both our cars, but with winter upon us, we’ll be changing course.

Our daughter is due Feb. 1st.

Pictures don’t do the car justice, but I suppose I’m sparing that gorgeous leather from all sorts of baby messes which would drive me nuts.

I know how you feel. I just picked up my car last week and my kids decided to make their mark by kicking my front seats with their dirty boots. Not to mention them poking me through the seats. Sigh.

One of the very few non cf interior trim cars. Looks good!

I have to be honest. Why are you keeping the 230i and selling your dream car and that too less than a year! Baby 1 should not require that much space. I don't know if finances is your issue but otherwise space would not be a concern. Go to snugglebugz and test out which seat fits your car. Your baby would be in infant seat for about 1.5 years after which you'll change to rear facing and then forward facing.

For reference I had 435GC at the time of baby which had less space then M3 at the back. Chicco keyfit 35 fit pretty well. The same seat also fit in M3. Now my 2 year old is in front facing.

I say keep the car and enjoy for another year or two!

If you want more convincing happy to grab coffee lol

Always down for coffee- ever make it out to wine country?

So right now the plan is to sell the 230i as well and grab the wife the truck she wants (18’ Escalade Platinum), and then for me to pick up something automatic and AWD that she can drive as well (looking at E63s wagons).

Finances aren’t an issue, just that she wants a slade and she wants our second vehicle to be automatic. I also have an R53 06’ Mini JCW to get my clutch-pedal fix.

Anyway, I’m definitely not over keeping the M3. It’s a special car, though I feel a little more ‘disposable’ than some of its ancestors.

God I would've taken this in a heartbeat if my car was a writeoff and I lived in the east....

Isn't marriage all about compromise? She wants an Escalade - so get her that. Why does it matter to her what the second vehicle is? I assume you are getting winter tires so why do you have to have all wheel drive? How often is she going to drive the second vehicle?

I am 6'2" and I can easily fit myself in the back seat after adjusting the driver's seat to my seating position so there is a TON of room in the backseat of the M3 for a baby seat. The trunk can also easily carry a stroller if required.

By the way congratulations on the new addition to the family

[17LSBM3]

Thank you for the well wishes on the new addition- it’s surreal!

You do make a valid point re keeping the M3 and the wife just not driving it. Believe me, I’m giving this option ongoing consideration!

Her somewhat valid contention is that she cannot drive manual and wants our cars to be easily interchangeable year-round. She works some pretty crazy hours in a demanding job so both of us will have our share of solo time with the little one. My wife will support whatever I do and is leaving the final decision up to me. I’m not dead-set on keeping the M, so I’d move on if the deal is right and vice-versa.

If the lease isn’t transferred by the time our daughter arrives I’m likely keeping anyway because I won’t have time to do this.

Thanks again!

[17LSBM3]

With our daughter scheduled to arrive in less than 4 weeks, we have decided to definitely move-on from the M3. Therefore, I want to get this done very quickly- I won't have much time on my hands in short order!

I would really like to see this go to an enthusiast who will enjoy it as I have. So in the spirit of the holidays, I'm asking for zero down to take over the lease, just pay the transfer fee.

Send me a PM if interested.

Cheers and Happy Holidays to all!

Update: Sold

She will be dearly missed!
