Two dozen white E92 M3 with sub 20k miles on AUC site
Discussion
These have been confirmed by Sytner as ex Palmer Sport 'M3 Master' Experience day cars. All are on new tyres and discs. I agree that it's pretty off by BMW to be releasing these to the dealer network to the unwitting buyer. None of the dealers, understandably, will admit the car's origins unless you push them for the truth. I wouldn't mind, but they're not very cheap for what they are, bearing in mind that one track mile is said to be equivalent to 10 road miles - making these 5-10k mile cars have the real world equivalent of 50-100k miles of wear on the engine and chassis...

Even after a refurb I wouldn't be happy to buy a car that had been hammered around a circuit hundreds of times by would-be Hamiltons.Edited by Captain Caveman on Tuesday 10th November 13:18

I'd want them on a new engine as well! The cars were heavily modified and as anyone who has been on a PMS day will know, driven like you've stolen it and then some. They take a proper battering, far more than the Porsche experience cars that also go back through their network. Edited by Captain Caveman on Tuesday 10th November 13:18

I think its very poor that BMW are willing to sell these on...the dodgy so and so`s.
I think it's fine selling them on, if they'd been transparent about the fact, and had reflected the fact in the price. However these are priced like any other car of that age. I'm sure BMW would have let the lot go very cheaply seeing the 'active' lives they've had. Gassing Station | M Power | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
