Is 6 previous owners too much?

They 're the same spring rates. The Intrax front is 32n/mm vs 35n/mm for the Tractive but very negligent.

Glad the Intrax are performing like you had hoped! It’s hard to describe how smooth and bump absorbing high-end dampers are and people don’t believe you until they’ve had a chance to experience it first hand themselves.

Indeed, it's another level of driveability.

Vorshlag designed a particular nut and spacer to match the Intrax setup and another nut for the Tractive one, so I will be able to compare them with OEM top hats and with Vorshlag camber plates. Waiting on Vorshalg now, and it will be some time middle of next month that the plates will be on the car with either one.

My communications also brought Jason from Vorshlag and Intrax in contact between each other which is great news.

Exchanged a couple mails with the Intrax lads before deciding on the Ohlins due to quick availability. Was not the right choice tbh, should've gone with Intrax.

I agree but maybe not too uncommon on a car like this. People scratch their M3 itch but may not be able to handle the running costs or put up with the ride quality.

I'm not a fan of the badge mod either. Looks childish especially on silverstone.

This isn't a bad car, a 2014 in silverstone with 34,000 miles and 3 previous owners for £27,000. What do you guys think? Or hold out for an LCI model with low mileage?

Definitely pass on this one. There are better cars out there so don’t let one missed car force you to make a poor impulse buy!

If you’re looking for a 6MT, you are not even going to be close to $42k for an 18 unless it has MAJOR problems. He’ll show me a 6MT 15-18 with under 100k miles at or below $42k.

There are plenty of 18s, still under extended warranty and all, and here in the US, I haven’t seen a 6MT of any f80 year with miles under 100k for less than $50k.

Yes the bubble is bursting for many cars, but having been in the market and continue to examine the market daily, the above “quote” isn’t anywhere near correct.

Maybe for a DCT, as I don’t loo at those.

Definitely DCT. I haven’t ever tracked MT pricing.

Any thoughts on this car?

It bizarrely only did 100 miles in 32 months at one point (but was serviced in that time by BMW), it's had a recent service but the previous one was 3 years ago and 20,000 miles ago.

It's priced decently for the mileage, I would be asking for some more off.
