Hi, I'm looking to spend around £25k give or take a few grand. I've owned a couple of M3's in the dim and distant and now tempted by the V8.

At the moment, given my preference of colour and spec, so far there's a couple that might be ok...

One is around 21k on '08 with 57k miles. The other is similar but with just under 40k on it and £3.5k more. I'm wondering how sensitive the pricing is to mileage - I get a good feeling about the higher mileage car, but is it priced at a sufficient discount to similar lower mileage cars and will the servicing be appreciably more >60k ??

Any thoughts most welcome

Cheers
Nick

Have a look at this one: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2015...
It is a Manual though.
Yes, thanks that's a good one if the s/history is right. Ideally after silver/blue. Ideally EDC, and would consider manual or DCT.

Well... I've kind of swerved off course a bit and bought a E46 M3 instead of a E92. I really like the SMG and given it's cost, it's a car that in a couple of years could be a second car (at least that's what I'm telling the Mrs). Years ago I had an E46 M3 (manual), but it was a convertible and I just didn't like it (not that there's anything wrong with verts).

Bought it from Nick Johnson, with original CSL wheels and boot. So we'll see how it goes...
