Where on the internet was this Atlantis F80 listed, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks for the heads up. I gave up on Atlantis. I ended up finding a Laguna Seca Comp and went ahead and grabbed it up. Pic was from the day I bought it. It's been tinted now. Starting on aftermarket carbon bits now.

Thanks for posting papijay. I'd be tempted if it were a 6spd.
On another note, I wish that autotempest could search FB Marketplace, I feel like I'm missing out not being on FB anymore.

Many congratulations, LSB looks very sporty on F80. By the way, did you purchased this beauty from Erhard BMW of Farmington Hills?

Damn; very nice! Where did you find that?

[bolt654]

Thanks all. I looked at the one Michigan, but ultimately passed on that one. I did chat with another forum member who purchased the one in Michigan.

This one came from Kelly BMW in Ohio. It was a late lease by an employee there. So it's CPO until 1/2023. So I jumped on it quick.

If I may ask, how were you able to find it. Are you local to that dealership?

Got it. Thank you for sharing.

Also, if you don't mind sharing, how did you find out the owner who purchased LSB from Michigan dealership is a forum member as well? Seems like you are a pro in finding contacts/people, take it as a compliment.

BadBoostedBMWM3 I located the car on cars.com via the app. I actually live about 6 hours from the dealership. I stumbled across the car as a new listing before pictures were up, saw that they had it listed as LSB and quickly called and was able to work the deal before anyone else had a chance too. Lol But I had made up my mind that I wanted an individual color M3. So I was on cars.com, autotrader, CarGurus, and just about any other app I could download. More luck than patience really.

[bolt654]

Lol. No worries. I take it as a compliment! I have been in investigations for years... Criminal for awhile and now adminstrative... So I guess I can attribute it to that. I had looked at the one in Michigan and talked to the dealership. I knew that it had the upgraded black wheels.. (not familiar with style number)... Noticed the member posted a picture with the front quarter showing with the black wheel. Knowing there are only 82 LSB M3s out there and probably even fewerr with those wheels. I just reached out to him and inquired if he bought it. Awesome guy... This is my first BMW.. and an M3 at that so he gave he some advice. I've lurked on this forum for years and always wanted a BMW but careers, kids and houses etc got in the way.

Thank you for taking it as a compliment Since you're being in an investigation profession, makes complete sense as why you're good at finding people/etc lol.
Thank you for sharing the story. I hear you and can relate that priorities get in the way of our hobbies/passion but I am glad you were able to get what you always wanted. I was almost there to grab an Atlantis Blue F80 but the deal fell through at the very last moment which I regret till this date. Since you are a pro in your search, let me know if you ever ever come across an Atlantis Blue F80 in 6MT, I would truly appreciate it. Enjoy your LSB in good health and have fun with it.

So a little teaser for you Atlantis fans - there is an Atlantis locally here in NC/SC with 6MT ZCP over SO full leather and CCBs. Rare and beautiful. These two pics aren't the best from a July 2019 meet. Haven't seen it since Covid.

BMW blues are all amazing but for me LSB > Atlantis

Great decision Bolt.

That's my buddies car I believe and if so his interior is golden brown not sahkir. I don't think he'll ever sell it.
