Asking Price:

None

Item Interest

I have an 08 E90 M3 sedan, 6spd, sparkling graphite, black leather, carbon fiber trim, all options except park distance I think (meaning it has the Technology, Premium, Cold weather, Premium sound with ipod interface).

The car is in mint condition with the exception of a small scuff on the rear bumper from either a valet or some moron who bumped me while parking.

Aside from the aforementioned options, the car also has

1. H&R springs (installed by Long Tran)
2. Macht Schnell air filter
3. AA pulleys
4. JL Motoring VRS carbon fiber front lip
5. H&R 12mm spacers front and rear
6. New Nitto NT-05 tires (245 front and 275 rear)
7. Painted reflectors
8. Red film on clear portion of rear tail lights.
9. 30% tint all around

Car is garaged at home and work. Washed and waxed regularly by hand, by me, with Blitz One Grand. Lexol used on the leather. 303 Aerospace protectant used on all black plastic/rubber surfaces.

It has 17K miles (24K allowed up to this point). 12 months left on a 36 month lease. $793/mo including CA tax.
Correction, it has 18K miles, which means there are 18K miles left for the 12 months remaining on the lease.

Located in Los Angeles.

VIN WBSVA93598E215074
Quote date 12/21/2010

This is a 6spd manual. My brother has the same car in a DCT so we get to trade cars often. It's an amazing transmission, faster than a manual, but I guess I'm just old school and love driving a stick. Plus I've spent years perfecting my heel toe downshifting so I didn't want to give that up.

Well, it depends on what you are looking for I guess. My tuned 335 was faster in a straight line than my M3 with filter and pulleys. The 335 just had massive torque man. It was fast. The M3 has no torque at all. Feels like my old Honda Civic at low rpm, BUT, when you wind it out to redline it's just heaven. Where the M3 really shines is on the track though. My 335 had stock suspension, stock brakes, and crappy Falken FK452, and really seemed to struggle at Willow Springs. I'm sure if you swapped out the brakes and suspension it would be pretty good. The other problem I had was overheating. You'll need an aftermarket oil cooler if you are going to blast at the track. Other than that, I liked the 335. To me, it was a modern day Supra and I love turbos. Ultimately, I just preferred a track ready car.

That said, my M3 has now been sold. I had the itch for more horsepower and am either headed towards a GTR or 997 Turbo.

did you have any tire rub with that wheel, lowered, spring combo?
Did you keep factory 19" tires size?

Thanks,
