I wonder what the story was for the low miles. I guess buying a new car, storing it for years, paying for maintenance and insurance, then selling it for $20k less than you bought it? To me it seems pointless to buy any new car and not drive it a reasonable amount.

Yup, that was me a few weeks ago who found the mint condition 12,000 mile blue M Coupe for $32,000. The search is the fun part and when I find something that I don't want, I pass it on to the list. Bill |

Yeah, and I found it a few days before Bill did. In the end, I picked up that low mileage (not as low as 300 miles though) blue Z4M for 33K, but am still extremely happy with the purchase. I giggle like a schoolgirl when I get in and drive.
Best of luck, Bill. |

Ok guys here is the deal. The car has been serviced regularly, had multiple oil changes, had the brake fluid changed, etc. So though it has not been driven - it was well cared for and dealer has all service records. I have been trying to work a deal on this car, and I hope I am not jumping the gun - but I just got a text that said I own the car!!!!!!! I should get it here in the next few days. I will post pic's as soon as I actually have some. I am completely stoked, and I owe WildBill the beverage of his choosing if we meet up sometime. Thanks Bill!!!! This was one hell of a lead and I got the car before the car was ever on the market. More to come! |

I'm happy someone on the list snagged it. It's always nice to keep it in the family if possible. I look forward to seeing many pics of this brand new machine.

My first coupe with 3700 miles was a pain with a constant CEL. The replacement that had 15000 has been bulletproof.

Man, someone just bought a new car! Wow!
Seriously, it does still have the break-in period ahead of it, and 1,200 mile oil, transmission, and differential fluid change. |

Thanks for the congrats guys! and I agree with all the cautions....
First thing the car is going to get is all new fluids and a good once-over to make sure all seems in order. I am going to drive and service it following normal "break-in" policies as if it were a new car. But - yes, I do intend to drive it! it won't take long to double the mileage. Ha! I used the link in the "good to be rare" posting to check the build numbers on this car. That is a very cool link. www.bmwmdata.com As you guys already know - 1815 USA M coupes in the 3 year run. Only 68 were Sepang Bronze. 20 of those had dark Sepang interior. 11 in 2006, 7 in 2007, and 2 in 2008. This is one of the 7 cars made in '07. Very cool. Car should get here first part of next week, then get checked out for a day or so, then out for a drive.... |

Bought mine with 9k, I feel a little bad racking up the miles (up to 16k) but I did buy it to drive it. And drive it I do, every day * And someday I'm doing custom extended leather with dark brown stitching to match.
