2011 Comp E90 6MT Journal

M3vk23 · 04-15-2020, 10:46 PM

Hey Everyone

I thought it was only fitting to share my sickness and passion with everyone here who shares the same love for these cars as me.

I have been an M enthusiast for many years and have been fortunate to own every generation M3 since the E36 onto my latest endeavor with an F80 Comp.

For the past couple months I have been on the hunt for the right E90 to share the garage space with the GT3. I knew it wasn't going to be easy because I wasn't going to settle for just anything it needed to be a 2011 Comp/ Non Comp with under 50k and a 6MT.

After intensive late night forum searches and searching ever possibe Bmw specialty site I finally stumbled across this beauty on EAG and at that moment I knew my search was over. I have spoken to Evan & Eric before but let me say they are top notch they provide fantastic service their honest and the best way to put it is "you get what you pay for''.

With that said here is my new baby

2011 BMW M3 Sedan
Alpine - Fox Red
Competition Package
6MT
Slick top
Manual Seat

The good news is that the car has already came with some tasteful modifications and Trevor from EAG was able to facilitate some additional parts that they were able to have installed prior to delivery.

Exterior
IND Black Kidney Grilles
IND Black Hood Vents
IND Black M3 Rear Badge
IND Painted Reflectors
Turner Motorsport 12R / 15F Spacers
OEM GTS Style Lip

Interior
ZHP Weighted Shift Knob
Colby Wheel Alcantara Shift Boot
Colby Wheel Alcantara E Brake Boot
M Performance Alcantara Steering Wheel
PDS Design GTS Armrest Delete

Performance
Alpine Stage 2 Tune
K&N Drop Filter
Dinan Exhaust
Rogue Engineering Test Pipes

Suspension / Wheels
KW Variant 1 Coilovers
Hotchkis Front Sway Bar
BBS RIA

Since the car just got here and it's been raining on the east coast I only have one teaser until I am able to get the car properly shot.

Congrats!

How does it sound with test pipes + MPE?

wyatth · 04-17-2020, 10:46 AM

Congrats, clean car! Saw it listed here not long ago and knew it was a goody that EAG would want to flip.
Any pics with your GT3 and RS4? Nice trio!
Also, why were you set on a ZCP if you’re planning to change the suspension and wheels?
Edit: Also notice you have 12F / 15R spacers. Most people typically swap those sizes around, FYI.

M3_Legend · 04-17-2020, 07:43 PM

Clean car!!! EAG is great looking forward to buy an M car from there one day.

Sounds good. Ideally think I will go without the test pipes and go Akra.

I will certainly get the trio in line for a photo. ZCP was a must.

ZCP consisted of EDC suspension and Wheels with some revised suspension dampening settings. Deleting the suspension and wheels basically makes it a non-ZCP at that point?

My mentality was I knew I was going to ditch the suspension and wheels I figured find a non-ZCP to begin with.

Hey Guys

I have been extremely busy with work and getting the GT3 all dialed in for the summer season that my baby has been neglected.

I wanted to give the community an update on the ride.

Here is list of the Parts/Mods ordered. Most have been delivered and awaiting installation.

Huge Shout out to Studntloan & Slicer for countless calls/texts to decide the best route for the car

-KW Variant 3 Coilovers
-Michelin Pilot Super Sport PS2 Tires 265/35/18 -295/30/18
-BBS RIA (Diamond Silver) Huge thanks to Slicer for saving me a set straight from Japan
-OEM GTS Style Front Lip
-BMW M Performance Alcantara Wheel
-Colby Wheel Alcantara Shifter & E Brake Boots
-PS Design GTS Style Alcantara Arm rest delete

When the front lip was getting installed I noticed that the M Performance Exhaust has devoloped a couple small hairline cracks. So I will be ordering a Dinan system to replace the current set up

wyatth · 06-27-2020, 05:04 PM

Hot damn! Can’t wait to see them mounted.

Hey. Thank you. These were the only Michelin's available in the tire spec I wanted besides the Cup 2

br2wdc · 06-30-2020, 09:15 AM

Congrats on the car and I'm looking forward to your build updates.

I recently purchased my car from the 2nd owner, who purchased it from EAG, and I feel very fortunate

Hey Everyone!!

Huge thanks to Slicer for saving me a set of the BBS RIA in Diamond Silver.
