Wow looks disgusting but seems like a lot of fun for the price.

Mn is a "No Licence Required" state. That means you can bid without a broker from anywhere. When I bid on a 335i from NJ I had to buy a broker. Note I also lost it by 50$

Ahhhh thats how.

I was thinking of this differently. For example; I am in Minnesota trying to bid on a car located in Wisconsin. I can't currently (depending on the car) bid with a WI address so I would need a Minnesota address to get around that. But I assume it doesn't work that way. Its only for buy cars located in MN?

@wally509 this car would be great for someone like you thats handy with a wrench, not afraid of new tech and has low expectations for performance.  I see the other market for this car being the kid that just graduated college and wants to fit in with the rest of the parking lot at the office but wants to stand out from the jr associates driving the 3 series and a4.  My criticism hasn't been with the car itself just the ad.  If he spent the money on liqui-moly and ceramic coating then at least he was willing to spend money to take care of it.  Good luck!

The seller re-wrote the ad based on what was said here on the forum:

https://appleton.craigslist.org/cto/d/2011-bmw-528i/6765554534.html

My previous comment about the car being a "deferred maintenance nightmare" was inappropriate, I apologized to the seller for that.  That came out because I consider the water pump/thermostat, coil packs and oil filter housing gasket on N52's to be "maintenance" and not "repairs" since pretty much ALL of them will need to be done at some point.  Whoever buys this car will have those to look forward to, more than likely sooner rather than later.  Just because those haven't been done, doesn't mean it's a bad car or that the seller wasn't properly maintaining it.

He still didnt take our advice and lower the price. Dont think his FS ad is going to matter is he is still asking 9 or 10k. He should be asking 8500 and take anything above 7k

This looks like a pretty fair price to me, any opinions?

https://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/cto/d/2008-bmw-m3-e92/6762527319.html

Not a bad price but not a very desirable car on the whole. Melbourne is a low production color, and 6mt is nice, but what kills this car is beige interior and lack of CF roof which for many people wanting a E92 with a stick, is important to have the CF roof. What's ridiculous is that they actually paid to option out of it because the CF roof was standard equipment on the E92 M3. Lastly being a pre-LCI is kinda meh. 

But for someone who wants a low mileage V8 M3, it is definitely not a bad price at all.

Ad says parking sensors, none visible.
Also says running boards. Which is just an odd thing to say.
Seeing that the pictures are pictures of a screen, I would assume it's fake.

Dude is on crack.

"No rust"... if I can visibly see multiple areas of rust from small pictures, I can only imagine what I'd find in person.

Also, his desired list of trades are all worth way more than this car, but he has the audacity to say "might have to add cash on your end".

Was this a vert only color? I feel like I would not like this color on a coupe, but the vert works really well.

Dont quote me here, but It was available starting in 1991, I belive it was additional option you paid for.  v
