My wife and I own a Mercedes E320 (grandmothers old car), Range Rover Sport (hers) and the M3. The M3 has been a fun car to own. I came from a ZHP so it was a step up in power which was nice, but at the end of the day I didn't need it. I don't track the car and for the past 3.5 years of ownership I've lived 5 minutes from work so I walked. Even when my wife and I moved downtown which now makes my commute 40 minutes I drive the Mercedes because it has better gas mileage and is more comfortable in traffic (auto). I used to find time to drive the car after work on the back roads in Nor Cal or on the weekends with friends, but that hasn't happened recently. I drive the car weekly to make sure it doesn't go through any issues from sitting too long, but for the past 6 months it has sat at work under the solar panels and because there is security patrol 24/7. My newest house is in downtown Sacramento which only has street parking (or at least my house) and lots of trees so I'm saving the M3 from punishment. Since we either drive the Merc or the RRS most of the time, when I do transition to the M3 it feels great at first because of the rawness and the connectedness. However, after spending four hours on the road within 24 hours I can say I'm over the rawness as a commuter. I love the connected feeling you have with the road, but there has to be another car that can offer some of the connectedness with better road noise dampening and less of a race car feel. I guess I'm just getting old even though I'm young. I've been debating back and forth over this for a while now and almost pulled the trigger on a trade for another ZHP, but thought I'd be back at square one. I'll probably upgrade to a newer 3 or 5 down the road and live with the Mercedes for now.

- I don't drive much so have been waiting to replace tires. While tires do have tread they should be replaced if you're going to enjoy the car. Currently, little tread on the Contis up front...same for Potenzas in back. I know, I know. I had Conti's on all four corners and thought they were amazing for comfort, noise, price, but the rears wore out faster than the fronts and I needed something near term for the rain because the wife's car and the Merc were out of commission at the same time. I pulled the trigger on some local tires and had replaced at DiscountTires. I keep debating whether or not to go to stock 18 rims because I like the OEM look and the VMRs came with the car at time of purchase. I was waiting to replace tires until after I found a set of square 18s. I suggest getting tires upon purchase because no sane person would live with the run flat's noise if they drive more than I do (one day a week).

- 2 Sets of Car Keys plus valet key, Original Owner's Manual and Books
- 4th Owner, Garaged kept, Never Tracked or Abused. The past 8 months the car has been kept under the solar panels at work since I moved downtown where there is only street parking. I drive my daily beater and the M3 is parked at work with shade/security until the weekends if I drive it. I drive it weekly around town if I can't enjoy it on the weekends to ensure it at least moves from time to time.

i wish you all the best with the sale, sean! it's a great example. perhaps unload the merc and get a steptronic ZHP sedan? comfy, sportier than the merc without the rawness of the M3. likely better MPGs than the merc, too.

have you considered listing it on BaT?

I've been looking for a ZHP for a while. However, I kept finding cars that were in the same price range as the m3 so just stopped looking. I used to own a auto ZHP and it was a great car. Hadn't thought about BaT. Don't know much about it other than nice examples sell there. I'll look into it. I'm dropping it off for a PPI tomorrow morning. I'll see how it goes. I've had some decent interest already which either means I have a reasonable price or people are just calling and talking to chat. Figure a PPI requires a pretty significant level of interest.
