Need help talking me out of this.....

I'm in the "looks dated" camp and also, having enjoyed the extra few inches in the e90 I think you will mis not having it in the e46 M3. Not sure the sacrafice is worth it to get an extra second or so on the 0-60 time.

I'll be there bright and early in the morning to try and work a deal. If they work with me, great. If not, I'm a patient man who already owns a great car.

AND a great SUV!!!!!!!!

If I didn't have the E90 already, you're probably right I would miss the extra room and the interior of the E90. In fact, I can reasonably say that I wouldn't trade my car in for it. But since I can keep it, if I miss it I can just drive it after my wife gets home.

BTW, nice car.

nothing major.

~ long shift throw (uuc solved).

~ rear gear whine

~ sport button makes the car real jumpy until your use to it.

the car has been out for 5+ years... time for a revamp imo.

but fast as a mother... (click pic) to see my video. turn up that volume.

i ran eight 13.0 runs the same day.

Oh don't be teasing me

my heart

...she better like bimmers:rocks:

Carnage · 05-30-2006, 01:01 PM

Update: I talked with my salesguy this morning and there's already 2 people looking at it, but neither are close yet. Turns out they've had it for a week, they just moved on Saturday to the side of the building I drive by every day. That's why I didn't notice it until Sat.

He's already talking to his manager to see what they can do on price and I'm going up there at 4 to test drive and have them look at the Yukon. My bank's ready to go with financing so the only holdup will be not being able to get the price I want. It's stickered at 56K not 54K and I'm not going to pay a penny above a $53,500K drive-out (TTL, etc included) price. Invoice should be around $52K so I don't think I'm being unreasonable.

StewtheBassman · 05-30-2006, 01:03 PM

Thanks and no worries there. It's two completely different driving experiences and both are awesome in their own way. I can't get over how well the M3 behaves in normal driving, it's an incredible ride. But I still love my E90 too, I'm sure I'll be splitting time with them on the weekends.

3s-a-charm · 05-30-2006, 11:37 PM

AWESOME!!!

markE90 · 05-31-2006, 12:03 AM

Yep, I did get the price I wanted which was good because the trade-in value of the Yukon was crap. The dealership really worked some magic on the whole transaction. My payment is higher but if you factor in all the monthly costs (car payment, insurance, gas, maintenance), the M3 is only going to cost me about $75-100 more a month then the Yukon did. That's a no-brainer decision.

dgoodson · 05-31-2006, 12:59 AM

ok matsarge, so how was the first day in your M3? miss ur e90 yet?
