New owner of 2013 e92

I am continuing my journey of BMW ownership and recently found the car that I had been looking for. I've previously owned a '99 M3, an '07 335i, and I just sold my '07 Z4M Coupe.

Interlagos blue with Novillo silver leather interior. 6MT. And the competition package.

I can't get over the engine.

Nice pick up! Is it really Interlagos? I'm guessing it's the lighting but it looks more Le Mans. Enjoy it in good health!

Thanks, guys. No planned mods for now. The stock exhaust is sublime, so I'm not in a rush to mess with that. I love how the car sounds on a cold start.

It is most definitely Interlagos blue. I looked for a while to find the right one. I had this same color on the Z4M and it's one of my favorites.

I do plan to track the car. Any idea if the e46 set of wheels will fit over the brakes? I know I can test them out, but the race wheels are in my basement right now and I'm being lazy.

Congrats.

Come to the track sub forum for some good insights. You will ruin your tires quickly with out front neg camber. Camber plates and a good alignment will help a lot with tire wear and responsiveness at the track. You can get maybe neg 1.7 pulling the pins on stock alignment but for track/street neg 2.3 is best and u will need camber plates for that.

Also a good idea to run better brake fluid and pads on the stock brakes. And do proper bed in.

These aren't mods specific to the M3. Any car tracking should have the basics like this covered.

I learned the hard way and went through tires and brakes on each track session.
