This 2015 M3 racked up over 95K miles and looks to be in good shape

spdandpwr · 03-21-2019, 05:24 PM

Saw this on Cars.com and was impressed to see how well the car wore, non-leather seats included.

This makes me hopeful for keeping my car past the 36k miles I have it leased for. Hmmm...

The carboncentric cars will be highly sought after in a few years. The interiors don’t wear at all. I have one my self and it looks brand new. The leather is is the more durable Dakota leather and of course the “cloth” won’t wear. I think in 7-10 years they will be the only super clean interiored cars besides the guys who are anal about their learher.

It took me a while to find an Yas/6spd/carboncentric/Harmon kardon.

Notice anything about this description? "2015 BMW M3 RWD 6-Speed Manual 3.0L I6"

It is not a manual - it is a DCT.

These companies need to stop with the mislabeling of transmission. More than ridiculous for an establishment that sells the product to not know what it is.

Many BMW dealers do the same thing. Not sure why it's so difficult to get the facts correct.

gatorfast · 03-22-2019, 11:53 AM

Over 60k miles and mine and my interior still looks new as well. Just need to take care of it.

A dealer explained it to me that they all are listed with basic features and then all options and packages are listed after. So they list the DCT as an added option but technically they all start as manuals.

Agreed. It’s going to be like the unicorn cloth + slicktop + 6MT e46m3

Very impressive. F chassis M's could be a unicorn series. Considering BMW is cutting RWD n all.

nickl630 · 03-22-2019, 10:09 PM

It's got the nice crotch sweat line/mark on the seats though lol

I hear the former owner is going in a different direction

. Currently daily driving a Focus Electric and weighing options for a fun weekend car.

Damn those group runs and rides with no extra free time. I’m pretty sure he did his best to clean the entire interior thoroughly before selling the car. A professional detailer would probably be able to do better.

DDD31 · 03-23-2019, 10:16 AM

I think I see a tear coming from the headlights from the indignity of being traded in and sold at a Ford dealership.

Fast4d · 03-23-2019, 11:21 AM

trade in at dealership? ouch. I wonder if he got $20k

LVI · 03-23-2019, 07:44 PM

I believe he got high $20s for it on trade. Not too bad.

I have the same. Added CF rear diffuser, handbrake handle, steering wheel trim and seatback shells.

Falafel Combo · 03-25-2019, 04:38 AM

The f80 is an incredibly well built and mechanically reliable generation. It will age very well IMO, except that it will be trashed in the used car market due to excess supply, relatively low demand and the overall dilution at the top of the brand.

I doubt this gentleman’s car fetches anything above $30k. Probably sells in the mid/upper $20’s or goes to a wholesaler.

God help us all!!

Negtvions · 03-25-2019, 10:03 AM

Also good to see that this high mileage "base" model is still going for over $30K.

Increases the chances ill keep my 6 speed comp package, in the hopes of getting somewhere around that price for it when its time to sell...

If the Mustang is a GT350R, I can see why that might happen
