Where can I find a low mileage BMW M3 Sedan for sale?

Bimmerpost is the only place worth checking if you want to dodge those ridiculous auction fees. I found my last M car there and I was super satisfied with the transparency of the private sellers. You save about 5 percent right off the bat compared to BaT. For 65k you can definitely snag a solid BMW M3 F80 LCI Sedan with low miles if you are patient with the classifieds section. A few things I have noticed that keep the price down:

• Look for cars with the Executive Package but skip the Carbon Ceramics unless you are tracking it daily.
• Focus on the 2017 to 2018 LCI models for better tech and taillights.
• Check the service history for the 1200 mile break in service specifically. Most guys on there keep spreadsheets of every oil change and use Liqui Moly Molygen 5W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil so you know they care. Honestly just stay away from the dealers in North Jersey, their markups are insane right now.

Re: "Bimmerpost is the only place..." definitely check BMW CCA too. In my experience, members keep better data on these:

• BMW M3 F80 Competition Package
• VRSF S55 Crank Hub Kit already done.

I spent months hunting for my F80 and honestly learned the hard way that low mileage doesnt always mean perfect. Found one with 15k miles last year that had been sitting so long the seals were actually weeping. You might want to consider looking at the private M3 Enthusiast groups on Facebook, but keep your guard up because people there overvalue their builds.

• Make sure to order a Blackstone Laboratories Oil Analysis Kit to check for metal in the oil. Owners often skip annual changes when they dont hit the mileage, which is bad for the S55.
• I would suggest bringing an Autel MaxiCOM MK808S Diagnostic Tool to check for hidden shadow codes dealers wont tell you about.
• Look for cars with XPEL Ultimate Plus Paint Protection Film already on the nose. Jersey grit will pepper that paint fast.
• Be careful with cars from the shore area where salt air can cause issues even in a garage.

Re: "Bimmerpost is the only place worth checking if..." - ngl bimmerpost is a goldmine but honestly some of my best finds came from just talking to guys at local coffee meets. i found my current setup because the owner was just tired of paying for storage!

• my first m3 was a nightmare because i focused only on the odometer
• i learned that rubber parts hate sitting around in a garage during those jersey winters
• these cars actually love being driven hard every once in a while to keep things moving it reminds me of this one time i drove out to the poconos for a weekend rally. i was so paranoid about putting miles on the car that i almost didnt go. then i met this guy with a high mileage m3 who was absolutely sending it through the corners and having the time of his life! we ended up grabbing some amazing pizza at this tiny hole in the wall place and talking for hours about how these engines thrive when they actually get up to temp. i realized right then that i was worrying way too much about resale value instead of just enjoying the machine. honestly i barely even looked at my dash for the rest of the trip back and just loved every second of the drive. anyway... but yeah keep an eye out for how the owner actually treated it!
