My second M340 xDrive (AW with Red interior) served me very well and for almost 18 months I loved it. The LCI looks good and attracts attention everywhere I go. I really liked it and was planning on keeping it for long time. Here’s a quick image from the day I traded it in

So, what is the story

I like browsing BMWs for sale and checking where the market stand at the moment. While doing do, I found a nice M4CS at a local dealer for sale. I decided to check it out. The car only has about 5k miles so I got excited about it. I checked it out and what a surprise.

The car was not in a good shape with lots of issues

I moved on immediately. However, next to it, I saw an M2 Zandvoort Blue

Since it was a 1st time for me to see this car in person and in close proximity, I liked it a lot. The color was amazing. You know when BMW introduced this car in that color, I was disappointed and felt how wrong BMW was to introduce such an important car in a poor color, and man, was I totally wrong

The color is amazing. I decided to search for a car and see if I can find one in manual transmission.

I found a car with the exact same configuration at BMW of Catonsville. I went to check the car and wow it was amazing

What’s next?! I was not ready to make to get a new car today, but now I’m ready for one. It was a manual transmission with carbon fiber roof. A short test drive got me convinced that I need to go home with this car today. Interior was great too with carbon fiber trim.

So, decided to trade my one-year-old M340 and I can use my other car for commuting but I have to get this cool car

BMW of Catonsville treated me very well

gave me a good offer and handled the whole transaction smoothly

The rep there is a nice guy, reach out to him he will help you out, Joe Fung

Finally, drove home with the car and could not be happier.

Nice pick up. I, too, traded in a 17-month old BMW 330e when I was just browsing slightly used M3/M4s and found I could get a brand new M2 for less. Did a several state search and found a "used" '23 with 430 miles on it with pretty much every item I wanted only 50 miles from me. I contacted the dealership while I was out of town and started the purchase process. They gave me a very fair value for my trade (a lot more than the local BMW dealerships), and I picked it up as soon as I got back into town. Now have 1,280 miles & just had the break-in service completed Friday. Very happy with this as my new daily driver.

Hopefully you will have it for many years to come.

M2siast · 12-12-2023, 12:18 PM

Winning story! Sounds a bit like mine. Hard to test drive and not take it home, right?

Congrats!

psuibmw · 12-15-2023, 09:28 PM
