Swanlake LMB E92 6MT Photo Journey

Howdy M3Post,

It's great to be back on the forums again. I bought my first E92 M3 in 2014, a 2008 E92 DCT in Space Grey/Fox Red, and was fairly present on the forums and the SoCal M Scene for the duration of my ownership. I drove that car from 67k miles to 122k in 4 years and loved every mile. Some of you may remember my car, wrapped in 3M Blue Raspberry on Forgestar CF5V's. Pics below:



After selling my E92 to a friend of mine in 2018, I had a brief stint with a Shelby GT350, Porsche 991 Carrera S, Porsche Cayenne Diesel, and I now still have my W205 C63S Coupe. After going through all of these I realized I was searching for something I'd already had, the perfect balance of the E92 M3. In my opinion this new M3 is my forever M3, and I intend to care for and maintain it as such.

So without further adeu, my 2012 E92 M3 6mt in LeMans Blue on Bamboo Beige, currently with 44k miles on the odo:







And next to its cousin from Afalterbach in the garage:


I've yet to do a proper shoot yet, but I will be posting pics in this thread once I do. I plan to keep this car OEM+ in terms of styling, but remains to be seen what kind of mechanical modifications I go forward with. So far I've installed the OEM Performance Spoiler, and an OEM exhaust mod from EAS.



I want a bit more volume out of the exhaust so I'm evaluating catted xpipe options.

Great to be back, cheers everyone!
