.No longer on the market. I had been waffling back and forth for awhile now. Finally, I was given a deal on a new M3, ordered/built to my specs, for a price a couldn't refuse! (If people are interested in the specs of my new M3, that I am taking delivery tomorrow , I be happy to discuss on this thread) I should have started the process of selling my car months and months ago but my wife was debating if she wanted to keep it and I had some medical issues pop up. (My 11th shoulder surgery, which is a temporary shoulder replacement with antibiotics embedded in the implant aimed at correcting a botched partial replacement that left me with a nasty blood infection. Definitely a story for another day.) With all that out of the way, here goes nothing: I purchased the 2010 BMW 335i Space Grey with the M-Package from BMW of Fairfax brand new through their order program. I took delivery in November or December 2009. The car is in beautiful shape and has had all its maintenance performed at BMW of Fairfax Service Center. It is an automatic (obviously with paddle shifters) with black leather interior. I opted for navigation, heated seats, iPod/iPhone integration, Bluetooth, sunroof and too many other options to list here (I will post a window sticker with all the details). The car has less than 43,000 miles on it. It has been pampered, and loved, only driven about 8,600 miles a year! I was curious how my mileage compared to the average American driver, both male and female of all ages, and it is significantly less! According to the US Department of Transportation the average American drive approximate 13,500 miles/year! The average for just male drivers of all ages is 16,550 miles/year. To me that seems ridiculously high! What about you all? I apologize in advance for the nasty shadows playing tricks on the paint colors. It was the best I could do in the parking garage and it was dark/raining outside. I wanted to increase the grunt and the performance a bit but wanted to maintain the warranty, so I had BMW of Fairfax install the BMW performance exhaust system and BMW Performance Power Kit. I know you all know this but the exhaust system cost approximately $2,000 for just the parts plus labor. This exhaust system makes the car sound the way it should have from the factory. Gives it the deep throaty note but no drone at highway speeds. I know you all know this but in case not, the BMW Performance Power Kit is a factory tune. It brings the stock platform from 300hp and 300ft/lb of torque to 320hp and 332ft/lb torque. Again, this is how the car should have come from the factory! The car is extremely responsive and provides strong pull across the entire power band. while the dyno numbers are HUGE, your butt dyno will put a massive smile on your face. Both of these modifications are from the BMW factory and do not void the warranty! You can purchase and extended warranty and enjoy the car like it is new! The paint is in great shape and in the interior looks as new! I just purchased new carpets two months ago. The stock set of m-sport rims are currently mounted with a set of winter/all season tires. Two of those tires are brand new and the other two have a year on them but still with plenty of tread. I also have a set of 17" apex racing wheels with big 255/40/17 Nitto NT01 mounted on all four corners. I do have to admit while i love these tires, they are loud. I really enjoy it and the ride they provide but it is a taste thing (my wife actually likes it, says it helps put her to sleep on long drives ). These wheels and tires were used for spirited runs up in the hills, the car has never been tracked. Currently, I have a set of Vorshlag camber plates that were installed professionally. Because of the width of the apex racing wheels and the size of the nt01 I am currently running, you need to dial in camber to avoid rubbing. I freaking LOVE this set up. Will do something similar to my M3 I think. Handles like it is on rails. Still plenty of rubber left on it. In the vein of complete honesty, two of the apex wheels have a little rash on them but it isn't bad. I was told they could be made to look like new for less than $100. Finally, I have proper wheel studs and bolts for the wheels. This car is so much fun to drive in all conditions, especially if you have the correct tire for the season. The wheel studs make it easier to change sets of wheels for the seasons, have a dedicated track wheel and tire set up or, if you are unlucky, they can save you the struggle of putting on a spare wheel if you unluckily pop a tire. I am asking $22,000. The KBB for this car is $24,000+ and it doesn't include the $3,000+ spent on BMW performance exhaust, BMW performance tune, Vorshlaq camber plates, and the Apex racing wheels with Nitto tires. I would love to make a deal that included all the parts (including the stock plates if you would like to remove the vorshlag at some point). With that said I am open to discuss a deal that does not include the vorshlag or apex wheels/tires. Willing to hear all reasonable offers. I do need to sell the car very soon, so preference will go to buyers that are able to move quickly. If you have any interest please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Also, I am happy to give you my phone number so you can call or text me with any questions. More pictures below! Thanks! Ben |

I was the first to contact OP, the car is no longer for sale.
Let me rephrase that: The car is probably for sale somewhere else right now, with different parts, for more money. |
