Anybody here buy my old '11 e92 M3 from Ford of Murfreesboro?

And if not, is there a way to find the buyer? Ford won't disclose.

Reason is I'd like to sell my Akra Evo exhaust and if it goes back on that car I can also give the owner the Evolve tune.

That's a nice gesture!

What'd you trade it in for?

Ford Raptor.

I love the truck but after a few months I needed to get back into a car. So I also added a 2015 GTR to the garage. 5 years ago I vowed not to buy another car under 300 hp. After the M3 that changed to 400 hp. Now, with 545 hp I've raised that bar again. Unfortunately, while the GTR is easy to mod and tune for another 100 to 150 hp, it absolutely voids the drive train warranty. I wish Dinan worked with Nissan.

BTW, the person who bought my car is named Kris K. and I think they live in Sterling, VA.

The GTR is fantastic. The truck is also fun. The best way to describe it is liberating. In that thing I still have over 400 hp and I don't give a damn about curbs or potholes. It's a Ruby red special edition and it easily gets as many compliments as the GTR too.

How much are they asking? Please PM me

They sold it in January. I want to track down the buyer to offer them the Akra exhaust and tune. Ford wanted it stock for trade in.

Almost bought yours, but the current owner got to it just before me, so I got my space gray out of Washington state shortly afterward.

Too funny - I was negotiating with that dealer too. Small world, but I didn't pull the trigger.

Good luck in your search.

This topic is hilarious and thought provoking because I have obsessed about this very thing for over a year now.

Just curious…was your old car the same one that was…involved in an accident?

Yes. And Ford was very well aware of that although I suspect it was not disclosed. My salesman (who sold me the Raptor) knew why I was willing to let it go. The original intent was not to trade it in. When they came back with a trade-in value of $40k I was a little surprised. I figured I could at least that from a private sale but it wasn't worth the effort. Last I heard they were saying it had a clean Carfax.

While the repair wasn't up to my standards, it passed their appraiser's eye and it would be hard to see the evidence that anything was done. But, to be fair, I did do a paint correction on my GTR before it even had 40 miles on the odometer.
