Official PNW M3 Spotted Thread

Two white E92's at the ridge today. You guys on here?

yea, my friend and I were there. I was the slow one with cf trunk spoiler while my friend (who also drove the blue m4 with big wing and 3in front-lip to ground clearance) drove the other one in the last 2 sessions. I was busy getting out of ppl's ways in my stock car with 4 year old tires. And I think I pointed a black e90 m3 with big wing (you?) by many times.

Yea that was me. Haha tires are huge out there. Lots of people with money for tons of tire. I feel very under-tired on 275 NT01 when a guy in a C7 vette complains he is struggling because he is running "skinny" tires...skinny being 315 Pirelli DH vs his normal 345... I'm like "okay "

Cool to see other E9X out there though!

Hope I didn't block you on your timed attempts. I saw you guys were flying through the corners. While it's not grippy, the stock car is very responsive to my inputs (good and bad) so I was able to get a lot practise and even had a few countersteering moments in T15. My friend who did a few F4 races also commented on this car being a good and fun learning tool.

Nah, not at all. I was breaking in some new NT01's most of the day anyways. These cars are so great to drive.

T15 is so fun to slide! Surpisingly not very scary given the wall there. The camber gives you good stability. The thumb is the best for it though!

Whoever was driving the E92 with the bronze wheels had some serious rear slip angle going! Fun to watch.

Spotted a lowered, white M3 coupe with black spoiler and aftermarket intake on highway 14 heading into downtown Vancouver on Sunday morning. I was on my way into downtown myself, to drop my Blackstone sample at the post office....lol

Who’s you pal! OS-Giken in progress...

That's mine! Man the 219m don't look good with aero on the car. Thankfully retiring those from street beater duty soon, and using the NT03+m instead.

Good stuff man, I was stop by Ian new shop this morning to say hi and scheduled an appointment to get my BE Rod/throttle Actuator replace among many other things preventive maintenance. Happen to see your car in the shop getting work on.

I was down there yesterday (Saturday) in my IB E90, picking up some poke, but didn't see that E92. There was pretty good sized JDM car show going on at 6th and South King.

Ohh def didn't know , I did see like 4-5 cars park behind each other, jam vibes. Idk if the e92 was just picking up something cause I saw it enter and leave same time as me ... Hopefully see it at a car meet or coffee meet. one day or something ... exhaust setup sounded good and loud enough to my liking.

I have a Valvtorntic design one , always on.... may consider something future wise a tad louder ... only downside is sometimes I feel like it's a loud hollow with not enough other tones or rasp ...

Spotted a E90 lci AW, lowered with gold bbs lms. Heading south toward covington

Spotted a black LCI F80 on University Ave tonight around 8:30pm. You were constantly burble popping at 3 MPH trolling for attention. It sounded Iike a bag of hammers down a staircase.. not cool dude

Crap like that is why bellevue PD is on a witch hunt for modded exhausts now. Thanks burble tune idiots....

Oh and of course it was a f80. Lets take a terrible sounding exhaust and figure out how to make it sound even worse.

Lol. Exactly. I was in the next lane in my e30 and turned left in shame. To most of the neighborhood, that car sounded super broken

Space metallic gray e92 with a sunroof in the U District this morning around 1030. My family didn't seem to share my excitement.

Also white f82 m4 with carbon fiber roof on i5 south around 4pm. ?brogrammer at the wheel….

Who has a husky? Saw an E92 on SR204 eastbound today with a pretty husky sticking it's head out the window.

Guess there no m3 around no more lol.

Did everyone sell their M3?

I did see a black E92 M3 in Safeway parking lot at Bonney Lake. I wasn’t able to say wussup wifey was in a rush.

Who was that white E92 M3 on i5 south near Claim Jumper bridgeport today?...

Get a car wash.

Saw a black E90 M3 on Peasley Canon Road yesterday afternoon around 2pm.
