Is $49,977 a good deal on loaded 15 M3 6 MT?

Looking to get into an M3 soon and came across this one. Not my ideal color, but seems like a good deal, but wonder if it will go any lower.

What lack of options do you not see? Looks like it has the driver assistance package and all cameras and parking sensors too.

Looks to have everything but the lighting package. People get hung up on the cool factor of LED headlights, but the non-LED are still very good. However, it would just make me nervous to drop that amount of cash at a mom-and-pop car dealership

My first m4 had xenon and now my m3 has led.. just the look by itself is worth it... let alone the better illumination and the anti dazzle

This isn't "loaded". No LEDs, no leather dash, no CF roof, no carbon brakes.

This is an easy pass. I got my '15 M4, DCT, carbon roof and with every option but CCBs for $46k. It had 36k on it though.

Looks decent. Make an aggressive offer. Just be prepared to walk. Personally I would wait for a color combo as you stated this isnt your fist choice.

Either get a fully optioned one and the color you want or don't. Don't rush it, you will have buyer's remorse once the shine of the car fades away and will have to live with it.

I think it's good if you can negotiate a little bit off. Good luck.

Only think it's really missing is leds and full leather. How is that not "loaded"? It's a relatively ambiguous term but to most it probably the means the majority of options have been selected.

Aren't there like so many dealers out there in the USA selling used M4s? shouldn't be tough to find the one you want in Sakhir Orange

What exhaust are you planning to go with?

I haven't even looked at M4s. Set on an m3 as I want the 4 doors for convenience.

Likely will keep exhaust stock when I get it.

You mean CarFax? You have to run the actual report, as googling alone won’t tell you much. Even a clean CarFax isn’t a guarantee there hasn’t been an accident.

Lol typo. Yes Carfax. Yeah definitely I'm sure accidents could have been repaired outside insurance. Googling the VIN is just another thing I've done to double check if Carfax is clean.
