My wife is tired of shifting gears on her 03 E46 M3 so I went to a BMW dealer to trade for a CPO 5 series automatic, around 35k. They offered me 10k for the M3 with 35k miles. It is a 9 inside and out with the only flaws being curb rash on 3 of the 19 inch wheels. I just walked out without saying a word and they didn't try very hard to stop me. I've read that low mileage used cars are selling well, but out of warranty BMWs may be the exception, even those in great condition. I'm pretty sure I can get 20 to 23k out of it in a PP sale, maybe more if I just hold firm on a price.
