From Z4 M Coupe to an E90 M3

jbass524 · 11-14-2020, 10:51 PM

I've been a member since purchasing a new '07 335. When looking to buy a new BMW a couple of months ago it hit me, get an E9X!

This is a single owner, meticulously cared for 2011 with 43,250. No competition package but I'm ok with that. What a car and the perfect replacement for my Z4 M Coupe and 2018 530e.

Thanks all for the welcome. That's is Silverstone but my 1st attempt at light painting photography makes it look like titanium 🤣

I felt at the mileage and spec I had to pull the trigger on this. Ended up the prev. owner and I know many of the same people in the Norcal BMW community. Plus he was incredibly meticulous in its maintenance.

Beautiful car! Nice pic. Enjoy in good health!

Nice! Welcome to the e90 m3 club, I also have a silverstone e90 but it has been wrapped orange since before I bought it. I’m planning to remove the wrap over the winter. What interior color is it?

Cheers to many miles and grins with your new ride!

Well thank you. It's a black interior with aluminum trim. It also came with the Bimmertech backup camera which is super cool.

That's an amazing picture? Were you just trying to consolidate the 2 cars? This one looks super clean!

Thank you, I think? JK

You got that exactly right. For me it's a perfect consolidation of the 2 cars. Although I still have the Z4 M Coupe I don't think I would ever drive except to keep it healthy so I'm selling it.

Oops that was meant to be an exclamation point haha.

Completely understand keeping things simple. I've got a Z4M Roadster and love the thing to death, so I think I could ever part with it. I remember the days the E92 got all the mods, those were the good old days

I'm not a real photographer, just an idiot with a nice camera.

Me too. After seeing 2 3-owner E92s advertised in excellent shape that were awful I immediately called the owner of my single-owner car and bought it. I may have paid 3-5,000 more for the lower mileage and single ownership but I feel it was a bargain.

jbass524 · 11-17-2020, 06:57 PM

I'm going to miss this car but I would much rather drive the M3 on a daily basis. I've pretty much lost all passion for track driving so I just don't see a need for it.

How about I just post when a mod is done? I would never give the detail you do. Plus, the mods won't happen very quickly.

Jan, how are you doing?
I didn't realize it was you until I saw your beautiful z4.
