Very excited...back in an M3!

SocalM3 · 03-30-2015, 12:53 AM

Although not new to the ///M scene (3 M5s and 1 M3), I have not had a M3 since 2004. I am very excited to be back in an E93! I really like the versatility of having a hardtop convertible. Took a while to find the color combo that I wanted (Mineral white with fox red interior). I already got the car tinted and coded. Can't wait to begin modding and learning about the car from you guys!

If it doesn't have an aftermarket exhaust on it already.. Get one on it. It's a must on these cars!

Alen E90 · 03-30-2015, 01:25 AM

Congrats! Your definitely a true M enthusiast and I can already tell that you've got some nice mods planned for this beauty! Thanks for sharing the pics, and please post more pics of your E28 M5 and also E34's!

Yes, I definitely agree, though with the top down the exhaust note is more noticeable. Would love to get an akrapovic but it is $$$!

Yes, these cars are made to be modded. Sure, I will post some more photos tonight.

T3X4S · 03-31-2015, 08:02 PM

Congrats. Looks great esp. with the black rims.

BloomRunsDubs · 03-31-2015, 10:12 PM

Did you by chance get that car from Nissan Alhambra? I believe I looked at this car but I didnt want to ship it to Wisconsin from California lol

Sweet M3!

SocalM3 · 03-31-2015, 10:34 PM

Ok, for those who like classic ///M's, here is my daily driver 91 E34 M5. It has over 120k miles and still pulls strong after 4k rpm!

Thanks for comment! I never was a convertible person but now I understand the attraction!

Thank you! Yes, I love the black competition wheels as well. Still have not gotten a chance to check whether these are reps.

No, I fell in love with it after my first test drive and knew instantly she is a keeper. She will probably grow old with me!

Sweet M3!

Yes! I literally ran to the dealer when the car showed up on cargurus because it was exactly the color combo which I was looking for. Good thing I was only an hour away. There is another one locally which I really liked until I saw a really long deep key mark on the passenger side!

Tracyis300 · 03-31-2015, 11:42 PM

How long did you wait to find that beauty?
It took me 3 months & some days to find my E90 M3.
Congrats!!
