ISO: Looking for a Daytona Violet F80 M3

[MTiz]

Hi guys, pic for attention. I am in search of a Daytona Violet F80 M3, my dream color on this chassis. I'd prefer a 2018 with Executive package, no preference on interior color. And clean title is a must. Please let me know if anyone has any leads to one. I'm currently looking at two for sale, a 2016 and 2018 for sale in Arizona but open to any hidden gems or cars not currently on the market.

Thank you!

There are a total of 39 (38 are LCI) DV F80s so you won’t find too many of them in the market. Getting all of the options you want will make it even more difficult to find. Good luck with your search!

Wow what a beautiful color.

Had an e36 like that. beautiful.

unlikely to find one as they pop up rarely. you can expand the search to purple silk and twilight purple.

otherwise you need to contact owners and make them an offer they can't refuse. i think a twilight purple sold a few months ago. 2018 with 12k miles, no ikons, no full leather... sold for 72k.

i would just find a nice spec black car and spend a few k to wrap it properly.

Not interested in wraps, unfortunately. If I'm buying an F80 it 100% has to be Daytona Violet or I'd pass and move on to other cars if I'm being honest. The only other I'd consider is Imola Red, and Laguna Seca Blue as a distant 3rd choice.

In my search I managed to track down a large chunk of the 38 DV's that came to the U.S. A few of them are wrecked, a few of them are heavily modified, and a few owners flat out refused to sell them to me I've got a line on one that I think will suit my needs and is within budget, so hopefully all goes well.

Still searching!

I'm sure you've mulled this over, but have you thought of a wrap? Totally know it's not the same as individual paint, but it's always an option! Find a nice example with the options and miles you want.
