Trying to buy a 2013 E90 M3

[berrydingle]

Mainly because I have a son, looking for a e90 M3.

BUT WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND?! My friend who owns X5M told me to get the 2013, as it's the best year made before going to V6 Turbo on 2014+.

Been trying to search on the forum on differences but not much luck, so I'm posting! If you know anyone selling, please also send it my way!

There was never a 2013 E90 M3 (or 2013 E90 period), nor has there ever been a V6 Turbo M3.

There is no 2013. 11 was the last year the E90 was made.
Unless you're willing to pay a premium for low mileage spec, there are higher mileage ones that are still good.

The reason you're having a hard time finding a 2013 E90 M3, is because they don't exist.
2011 was the final model year for the E90 M3.
The E92 M3, however, did continue production all the way through 2013.
If you want to use a term that includes all body styles when speaking of the 4th generation M3, you may omit the last digit and replace it with an 'x'.
For example, the E9x M3 was available in sedan, coupe, and convertible.

As for model year differences, please look at the stickied thread in this section or utilize the search feature. It has been covered many times.
There is no "best year". Generally speaking, LCI and later model years are more desirable and are priced higher, but whether that makes for a better car depends on whether or not those differences and offerings are important to you as the buyer.

Also, for future reference, it might be handy to know the differences between a V6 Turbo (i.e., VR36DETT in the Nissan GT-R) and an Inline 6 cylinder turbo (i.e., S55B30 in the F8x).
