New M3 Owner

Last week I had a buyer pick-up my 2016 Golf R...which put me on the hunt for either a C63S or M3 Competition. Figured the M3 would look better parked next to my wife's Alpine White X5. So yesterday I picked up a 2017 Alpine White M3 Competition with Sakhir Orange interior. Car was a one-owner with 30K miles, great service history at the same dealership, and pristine inside and out.

The positive is the dealer is an AutoNation (Laurel BMW) who has never wiggled on their no-haggle price. That is until today's unique environment where my negotiation resulted in 'Dealer Rebates' and an interest rate that was better than market. It ended up coming in $7K below KBB and being the cheapest car within 500 miles that was optioned this way.

Overall, they were great to deal with. The only downside is I couldn't get them to toss new rubber on the car. Current tread measures at 4/32, which is AutoNation's cut-off for replacement. Looks like I'll be ponying up for a set of summer tires sooner than I expected...
