Gray E90 6MT at dealer for $33k- high or just right?

Hi all- I went to go see this car in person last week, and it seems like a pretty clean, pretty stock example. The one issue that jumps out at me is more wear and tear on the driver's seat than I would expect at 90k miles, one of the seams is starting to come apart and the leather color is wearing off.

What are the community's thoughts? My initial take is that it's priced higher than the current market for this particular car's spec. I'm really looking for a single-hump car with heated seats, so it would have to be a screaming deal for me to pull the trigger on this one.

Not an unheard of price for an e90 6MT with 90k miles 12 months ago but I'd say it's 4-6k high given the mysterious maintenance history, current market, color combo not great. It looks like a slicktop - no sunroof - which is considered more desirable on the aftermarket so that's a plus but no listing of the packages otherwise. It was driven in PA so may have seen road salt - take a gander underneath. I think, especially shopping here or similar places, you can do better with a vehicle with more known on the maintenance history - and possibly with some of the big ticket items addressed and a mod or two you prefer to have.

Comparison: I bought a 2011 e90 6MT with 98k miles - but it was Lemans Blue and had 10k+ in add ons, including ZCP wheels (3k) and corsa Exhaust (2k), and had throttle actuators ($1600) and rod bearings ($2500) already addressed. My net on that was just a touch more than what they are asking here - at the peak of the market.

I think you can do better.

Interesting, however mundane of a colour combo especially on a sedan. Haven't seen this before.

The non-M wheels (unless I am wrong) throw me off. I think that is a E90 x drive style? Doesn't look like a winter tire on em.

Nope, they're a decent set of Michelin Pilots. That would be nice, to get winter tires for these 18" wheels and then nice summer tires on something nicer.

The wheels are the standard M3 specific 219M 18inch wheel.
