If you put the e46 and e92 next to each other on a lot it’s amazing how dated the e46 looks. I felt the same as you till I saw them side by side. ---

10K, but wait 3 months and you’ll get it sticker, another 6 months and maybe you can squeeze one for like low 50s stripped would be my guess. ---

^The same trend with most cars. (think Porsche 911) I was at a BMW dealer in San Jose about eight years ago and they wanted $76000 for a M3 convertible.:cjerk: AND that was after the Silicon Valley crash. Side note: I just drove a G35X a couple minutes ago. NIIIIICE car. ---
