Colorado M3 Sighting thread

Zba · 10-19-2011, 08:29 PM

I'm pretty sure it was Jet Black as I did not notice any sparkle in it

But you don't see many of these roaming around in the wild in these here parts.

Yea, Co's had a black convertible on the lot when I was picking up my M3.. and today, I dropped off my car at Co's for wheel repair and winter tire change, and a really nice blue X5m was there.. I wish I could have that as well ;-)

White E92 with splitters and perf spoiler driving down 7th in Denver this morning?

llis · 10-29-2011, 06:58 PM

Gray E46 M3 on Jay Rd. in Boulder. We were going opposite directions.

Hey guys,

I just moved into the Denver area and am looking for some fellow BMW/M3 enthusiasts. I have a 09 LeMans Blue E90 M3. Black exhaust tips and de-badge would give it away.

I saw a gray E46 m3 yesterday parked in the strip mall off Sheridan by Sloan's lake.

Just started working down in Boulder, on Pearl Street at SolidFire (computer start up), and I saw a black E90 with dark rims on Pearl near 15th the other night. signes, was that you?

signes · 12-04-2011, 03:29 PM

Was out by Gebhardt Wed/Thursday night but don't think I ventured over to Pearl. I do have the winters back on (gunmetal 18s).

Titanium Silver · 12-11-2011, 09:01 PM

Saw a black E90 driving down from the mountains on Friday morning. Headed east on I-70 right in the foothills around Morrison. I was headed West on my way up to Breck.

0311_grunt · 12-30-2011, 07:45 PM

Saw a jet black e90 going towards boulder on the 36 today.

signes · 12-30-2011, 11:23 PM

How other day? Might have been me...

Saw one in Boulder on the same day, turning from Pearl onto Foothills south. My dirty girl rolled past you heading west.

joakym · 01-04-2012, 09:04 AM

that was me.

llis · 02-02-2012, 11:47 AM

Last Sunday. On Spine by King Soopers. You: beautiful gray E92 (pretty sure). I was riding in friend's new-to-her IB E92. We waved at each other.

blonde79 · 02-12-2012, 07:17 PM

After reading through this I see that majority of you are in Denver and FtCo. I have an E92 (Jerez) on order and am vascillating b/w JZB and IB. I have yet to see one here in CoS, wondering if any of you are local.

I've seen and driven a Jerez and love it. Same for E46 carbon black. Always wanted a black car, never owned, higher maintenance color, yadda yadda. I know it's 100% subjective but figured maybe seeing one in person would cement the decision. Something about IB is mesmerizing...

dirtyfreebooter · 02-12-2012, 07:55 PM

I believe there is one at Ed Carroll VW/Audi in Fort Collins. I think this is IB. I saw it when I took my Jetta in for scheduled maintenance. My personal opinion, both Blacks are nicer than IB. IB wasn't bad, I just think M3s look better in either normal colors, white, gray, black, red, or crazy colors like yellow or orange. Blue is too in the middle. Just an opinion.

blonde79 · 02-12-2012, 08:01 PM

Thanks for the info. I appreciate the link too. Odds are good I'll stick w/my order, just the wait and too much time on my hands. Every M3 I see looks good. Coming from 2 white VWs, pewter MB, and other past vehicles...pretty set on Jerez. Regardless, it's all good.

I also love LMB, and it seems to be rarer around here, even though it's not exclusive to the M3.

I have a JZB E92 M3 and my friend has the same model in IB. We're nowhere near CoS though.

blonde79 · 02-13-2012, 09:02 AM

I appreciate the input. It's kind of fun ordering this way, although I think seeing a showroom full of Ms would be even better.

Matterhorn · 02-14-2012, 03:14 PM

Was in the same boat a few months ago... Not too many M3's in Colorado and hard to experience the colors in person. Never saw melbourne red in person, but that's the color I went with and it exceeded my expectations. The car looks stunning and I get compliments all the time. I think our cars look good in any color.
