  • Sure, you can buy an M3 for cheap but how much will it cost to get it running and driving properly? I go through a full mechanical inspection of my 2008 E90 M3 sedan with the 6-speed manual... and surprise surprise the car isn't so cheap after all!
    Link to previous episode of how I bought one of the cheapest M3's on the planet:

    Madness. I just took delivery of an Alpine White E90 M3, no sunroof, manual, completely stock. Rod bearings, actuators and engine mounts all done as part of sale price as a preventative measure. It’s pristine. I paid £23k GBP. There’s only two others for sale at the moment both with high mileage, they’re dct, sunroofs and tatty as hell. I feel very fortunate.

    Very interesting content and nice "format". As a E90 M3 long time owner I've watched tons of M3 videos, this stands out mate.
    If you're not yet on M3post, you simply have to make a post about this project.

    Good stuff! Even after tackling all those line items DIY, thing will look, handle, and run so good for short money. It seems hard to find a decent E9X M3 for less than 25,000 USD.

    • @DeadEndRestorations

      Thanks Pete, thats the way i see it too because manual E9X are holding onto values really high and probably hit the bottom depreciation already. Thanks for following along!

    Ha, I just bought a e90 M3, 81k miles for around $30k USD. And I spent around $12k US in just maintenance parts (including BE bearings, ARP rod bolts etc), so you are about right on how much it cost just to get the car back in like factory feel. Very happy with it so far though.

    Passed on a 160k mile e90 m3 a couple months back. It was Le Mans blue on Bamboo. Salvage title with a rough exterior, interior was maintained well enough for the age, car was mechanically sound except for leaking valve covers. Bearings, TB, and engine mounts etc done. Seller was asking 16k Last time I checked it was listed at 12.5 and someone scooped it up. Decided to get a daily f30 328i and save up for a bit more of a nicer example. Also helps that the markets continuing to cool. Good luck on the build!

    • @DeadEndRestorations
