saw a black e92 with vorsteiner lip and black grill on Hearst Ave (near Etcheverry Hall) today 5/12/2013 around 4pm. Is that yours?

I've also seen a pre-lci ss e90 m3 around the area a few times. Dunno if it's the same car that you're referring to. I think the owner is a girl and she works at LBNL.

Spotted a Santorini Blue e92 M3 today in Laguna Hills at Alicia and Pacific Park around 5pm. Looked brand new, gorgeous color, first time I've seen it in real life. One of my favorites for sure!

Hey, I finished undergrad last fall (physics major), but I've been sticking around to do some research at LBNL. Same here, LBNL is basically my second home. I'm there more often than I am at my apartment. FML. good luck with finals! and your car is really nice!

Probably mine! NJ plates? Eric at Supreme Power Parts has been putting on the remainder of my break in miles. He brought it in for the break in service this morning, now time to finish the build for Bimmerfest!

Glad you liked the color!!!

I know I saw! Are you going to be at Bimmerfest? Glad you liked it, I don't think the KWs and wheels/brakes were on yet. Blower is currently being installed!

How did the exhaust sound? I never hear this thing from the outside...

Didn't catch the plates as it was going the other way on Alicia, but wow what a beautiful car.

Thank you so much! You should see it now! Hopefully you're at Bimmerfest, would love to see a Phoenix Yellow E92 in person!

Thanks. No I just did the B&G springs. I like it. Ride feels like stock but lowered it just enough.

Cheers.

Spotted a sparking graphite (i think) M3 today around 1230pm San Pablo Dam Road next to the Reservoir. I was going the opposite way.

Also spotted a SSII E93 with the top down and a dog in the back today on I-80 in Emeryville around 6pm.

Fellfromdsky · 05-19-2013, 11:16 PM

Saw a Sparkling Graphite e90 m3 going down hawthorne around 6:30pm today.
I gave you a thumbs up then got to drive with you a bit. Looked good!

I was in the f430 that turned off at terranea. (M3 was at home)

Dodge2Dub · 05-20-2013, 12:35 PM

Spotted this on the 5N on Saturday around 11AM in the O.C. Sorry for the rough shots....we took them quickly while in traffic. Anybody have details on the bodykit?
