Pre lci m2 highest price you'd pay
Currently a pre lci m2 in the condition I want (under 30k miles, clean car fax with service records and no mods) is around 39k on the low end and 44 on the high end obviously a few outliers. My question is what would you be willing to spend on one of these cars, because anything over 39k seems high to me

Just my observation/preference, and it really depends on the condition and mileage of that specific specimen. A mint one with some modest mods (no tunes) with under 20k miles can easily be around $40k. A higher mileage one with a tune and too many mods will be on the low end for me, around $35k. |

FWIW, something like CarGurus can be interesting. Price history. How many days on the market. Often (or always?) links to a Carfax report. Or never. I can't recall.
There's a car in NJ with high miles for $37K. 166 days on the market (I know, who in NY would buy a car from anyone in NJ ;-) ). OK. It has been repaired (minor). And it has been drive a LOT including to or through the rust belt. A one-owner car purchased new in Quebec has been listed for $44K with 6,000 miles and no problems reported. Illinois. 83 days. $47K to $44K. I am guessing the latter car might be had for closer to $42K. Maybe it's a garage queen, but I get nervous dropping coin on used cars where salt is used in the winter. Good luck! |

Are you specifically looking for Pre LCI due to preference or price? What part of NY are you in? I'm in CT and just finished my search and bought a month ago. As you'd expect may of the cars I was looking at are still available and I'd be happy to share experiences and such just shoot me a PM.

My old 17 M2 is still at my dealer. 8900 miles new rear tires and no wheel rash. Certified. The clear bra is showing its age but the car never saw rain or snow until traded in. It's up at Kelly BMW. PM me for more info.

I didn't come across many LBB ones in my search unfortunately, white seemed to come up frequently which was my other choice. One other note is that I've seen Vroom and Carvana occasionally have good ones come up but they sell quickly or even have a deposit when they are still incoming. So set alerts there if you can. Good luck in your search. |

How do you know it didn't rain or snow on the car when it was in Germany waiting to come over or at the port or on transport truck?

A car is worth what you are willing to pay for it at the end of the day.
When I looked for my example, I was very specific on spec (manual, Icon LEDs, sunroof, HK etc. etc.) and none ticked the boxes, until finally one did. It was around £2k more than I expected to pay for one, but being from main dealer and having the exact specification I was after, I was happy to do it. No regrets

I'm from NY and just purchased the 2018 model this week. Prices vary quite a bit obviously from purchasing from private / dealership. I have not dealt with the private party during my search but the quotes that I've gotten from the BMW dealership on the 2017 CPO / preowned was around 42-45k. This is before any hard negotiations.
For CPO vehicles they are running a very low apr promotion right now, 0.9% for 36months and 1.49% for 60months. Pretty nice if you are looking to finance. |
