Simple question is why buy a PC car when other non PC cars are available ??
The only answer is because a significant "SIGNIFICANT" discount. Otherwise no way. |

They do sell them. I took the driving school and the instructors mentioned that some of the cars get sold. Some others get send to bmw so engineers can take them apart and see how things hold up after the intense driving and heat (at thermal).

Anybody remember reading the post from a while back about the guy who bought a nice low mileage M3 and it ended up having a ton of problems, he found out later it was a car used for the Top Gear review...not related at all, this thread just reminded me of that. Even a few hundred miles of abuse causes permanent damage.

Let's be real...don't buy any used car from United. Also, United has a method to how they list the refurb and manufacter buy-backs. Is in the stock numbers. Different ones stand for different things. Their pre-owned BMWs are from 6 different sources including IRS buys. If you are uninformed, you will get hosed. How many people know to ask the specific question about the performance center? Right...exactly. Do you think they'd volunteer the info. Most of the M's from United were used as PC vehicles.
If you knowingly want to purchase one from them knowing the history, that's up to you. I'd personally pass. Do you even think they did the manufacturer specified breaking procedure? I think not. If you do, I have the moon to sell you. But thanks for the tip on Leasing in Woodcliff, NJ. That I did not know. |

Oh your M4 must be one of them and you are trying your best to make yourself believe BMW track demo cars are meticulously cared for. Sorry bud but these cars shouldn't even be for sale.

My M4 was ordered and purchased new from the factory in 2014. You might note that 14 others agreed with me, but you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Have a nice day.

And it makes you feel good to trash someone's opinion because they disagree with you? As I said, you have a right to your opinion and that is just fine. Cheers

I'm shopping for a low-mileage Macan Turbo and I'm trying to decide if I'd buy any used car with carbon brakes. The replacement costs are scary! My understanding is the rotors need to be taken off and weighed to measure remaining life... I doubt that information is going to be provided. The CCB alone would scare me from one of these unless the discount was heavy.

One clear way to tell is looking at the drivers side door lower section, they clip radios on to the section where the storage bin is so all of the cars show scratches in that area. I did the 2 day M School. We all drove the cars hard but I have to say I don't think they are abused per say, if I could get one at a screaming deal I would consider it but I certainly would not pay a retail price for one.

Lol. If i knew for a fact one of the PC cars has been in two different accidents for a combined total over $11k and has had its rear diff replaced while being offered for sale would you still have no hesitation to buy it?

when I did M school back in April, I was shocked that they resell these things at used market values. I think one surefire way to avoid one is to get a 6MT!!!
