Interlagos Blue E9x M3 Registry

I purchased this beauty two months ago! I really wanted a manual but good luck finding them. 30K with 39K miles. Not sure if that is good or bad but i am happy. Just finished putting test pipes, braided steel brake lines and hawk pad on. Suspension and 275 square tires coming next. When this thing hits 100k (or i get bored and want a new daily) it will become a dedicated track car.

E201717 - DCT Fresno, Ca

2008 E90 DCT, E216055, Denver

2008 E90 6MT, E215694, Lakeland, FL

Got the 10yr old PPF off the car this weekend. The car is intact underneath as it rolled off the showroom brand new. I did not buff/wax anything at this time. No rock chips, scratch/swirls on the paint, headlights. I was amazed. Full front PPF did its job, well done! a couple of cut marks around some edges, think from the time when PPF was put on

I will get the surface ready in couple of week before putting new set off PPF.

That is outstanding! How many miles are on your car? I have PPF on mine also. I'm afraid to take it off. It's 12 years old but its been garage kept. Any suggestions with taking off PPF after such a long time?

I have 68k miles on the car. Have been driving less than 4k miles/yr last couple of years. I was in the same boat. I consulted with many PPF installers in the past who were only interested in taking off the old one as long as I am getting a new one. I recently found someone who was comfortable taking the old one off @ $100/hr. He took off a small sample off the side mirror and was confident to do the rest. I gave him a word of mouth that I will get a paint correction soon and get back to him to get a new PPF.

Mine old PPF faded and gave a satin look which I did not mind. The headlights definitely were turning yellowish. One thing I would mention that if the old PPF cracks then it is definitely going to mess up the paint underneath. I did not want to wait further and end up with that. Thank god everything turned out well in the end.

I believe the interactive map on the first page is dead.

Sad to report that I sold mine today. Going to a gentleman in Thomasville, NC. I do not believe he is a forum member. Someday I will buy a IB E90 DCT! Until then best to you all.

You guys make me want to get a paint correction and PPF! The last few posts have been some beauties!

Actually, I am a forum member! I joined in anticipation of getting this car. It's in transit, should arrive by the end of the week.
It is a replacement for the car I sold a few months ago - an Interlagos Blue E46 M3 Comp Pkg.

welcome, glad you're here

Had a E92 for 3 years then sold it for a F82. Still have the F82 and it's a blast but a part of me always missed the E92. Picked up this 2012 Interlagos Blue that was bone stock it's whole life and well optioned. First impressions are this car is a lot smoother and balanced than a M4. Both cars are special in their own ways I wouldn't say one is better than the other.

Is the OP still here? If not, is there a way to continue this log?

The car looks in great shape. Is it a 6spd zcp?

Non ZCP and DCT. I know, not what most wanted to hear but I got this car to daily and LA 5 North traffic wouldn't be fun in a 6spd. Below is a snapshot of the window sticker.

Tim!!! I am so glad you are here! Hope to see my once precious gem from to time. Here is the last picture I have with it that my wife took when I pulled out of the garage on the pick up day.

Sorry for bumping this dead thread.

Didnt realize that this colour was so rare. No wonder people like it. It wasn't my first choice, but it sure has grown on me.

Mine is a 2008 manual 6 speed with single hump, which I guess makes it even more rare. I wonder how many manual interlagos blue cars there are.

Here is the last 7 digits of my vin: PY39781

Im located in Toronto, Canada.

God bless the guy who sold it to me for a really fair price. I just need to repaint my front bumper, rear bumper and hood at some point.

interlagosbluee92 no need to apologize... an e9X in IB is a stunningly rich color, 'unique', and well suited to show-off vehicle proportions, angles, curves etc.

First one delivered in Feb`08...luv'd so much ordered another in 2012 as a 'keeper'
