It looks so much better on 17" wheels. Not sure if that would clear the brakes.

It won’t. It barely clears 18”.

I don’t know about plenty... most of it has to do about your location and connections.

You could have fooled me. Here are my last three encounters within the last two weeks.

1. Asking for $47K. When I said it's out of my price range, They said, oh it just droped to $42K.
2. Asking for $44K.
3. Asking for $44K.

My last two quotes:
1) $41.5k
2) $44k

The CTR is a good buy at $35k, not so much at $40k or more. At that point there are other cars that offer as much or more performance for the money.

I'd like to see more variants of the Type R if it will help get rid of the ADM dealers are charging. Although the dealers are so greedy that I'd bet they will try to charge $10k over for any version of Type R they have for sale on their lot.

My last 3 quotes from east coast dealers
1. 42
2. 42
3. 38

even at 35k its borderline a 'good buy'.
So many cars out there in that price bracket, you get a like new 335i (which is under-rated from the factory), e92 m3 etc list goes on. Invoice on the type R has to be 30-31k.

Maybe you haven't visited a BMW dealership in a while, the 335i isn't part of the 3 series lineup anymore. You can choose either a 330i (starting at $40k) or a 340i (starting at $49k). Neither are a hot hatch like the CTR, just 4-door sedans. You'd need to buy the 340i to get similar performance of the CTR. Not to mention, most BMW's have options and sticker for much more than their base price. The only way the CTR is in the same price bracket is when the ADM is $20k over MSRP. Last but no least, the reliability of a BMW has been proven, at least for me, to be far below that of any Honda I've owned.
