Just got my first M3

Joe Dirt · 03-05-2017, 11:59 AM

Just got my first ever M car. Was looking at E46 but one test drive of an E92 had me sold. I will get better pics.

buddalun · 03-05-2017, 12:00 PM

Congrats. Any plans to mod further?

dfeng · 03-05-2017, 12:02 PM

Congrats, looking to get mine by the end of this week. The blue looks nice

Herofmine · 03-05-2017, 12:07 PM

Congrats! Just don't forget to detail the interior and clean that oily gloss seats.

Looks like armorol lol

Joe Dirt · 03-05-2017, 12:30 PM

Thanks. I have been looking at CF hood and trunk. But want to make sure that the fit and finish are up to par. I like Seibon's DV style hood and the Amuse Ericsson trunk lid. It has an aftermarket exhaust that sounds decent. The rims are ok but I think those will end up being replaced sooner than later. May lower it slightly..

Welcome aboard Joe!

Welcome and gl with modding

ualdrivr · 03-05-2017, 01:48 PM

Congrats. Enjoy it.

I'm also picking up my 2013 E92 M3 tomorrow. I'm very excited. I'll post picks on a new thread once it's on my driveway. Scouted the corners of the US for the perfect one and I think I found it.

Joe Dirt · 03-05-2017, 01:54 PM

Thanks all! Modding will come later. I don't know if it's out there but anyone know if there has been a thread started asking for people to chime in with their experiences with CF hoods and trunk lids?
Also I replied to an old thread regarding option codes. My car has a lot of different option codes that I don't really understand. And no owners manual came with it..

Joe, you can download PDF owner's manual here. It helps with a lot of things on your car.

Hope this helps.

Joe Dirt · 03-05-2017, 02:47 PM

Thanks ualdrivr. Downloaded. looks like I have a lot of reading to do.

Umi|all|day · 03-05-2017, 04:17 PM

I think I've seen this car on YouTube before. 🤔 Also '08 6mt

TomHudson · 03-05-2017, 04:23 PM

Beautiful car, congrats!

I'm thinking the car looks pretty damn good as it sits

Joe Dirt · 03-05-2017, 04:25 PM

Close but not my car. Mine is IB has some CF on it and aftermarket exhaust. Just a tad louder.

Joe Dirt · 03-05-2017, 04:37 PM

Thanks Tom! I think so too. But there is always room for improvement. The more I look at it the more I don't like the rims.. Maybe get the same style in bronze or gold.

Bartledoo · 03-05-2017, 05:07 PM

That interior is shiny AF! Welcome to the club though!

Joe Dirt · 03-05-2017, 05:15 PM

ksteckba- I'm a forum noob. what does AF stand for? Thanks. Plan on cleaning the hell out of it once we have some decent weather.

SmokinFast · 03-05-2017, 05:36 PM

Got it.

IB M · 03-05-2017, 08:39 PM

Congrats. Enjoy the amazing driving.

Love the color ... I would have guessed Lemans Blue but must be bright lights on the IB.

Locloud9 · 03-05-2017, 08:53 PM

Congrats, and yeah, as pointed out a few times already, clean that interior. It should not be shiny. You will need a deep clean and condition on at least the drivers seat. There are a few posts on various methods and products, but most of it comes down to patience and "elbow grease". Love our blue M's!
