New Kid on the Block!!

RosieTheRedM3 · 07-06-2018, 05:43 PM

What's up everyone!!! I just got my e92 M3 about two weeks ago. I'll attach pics at the end. I absolutely love it and truthfully wouldn't change anything about it. I live in SoCal in between Malibu and Los Angeles in a place Westlake Village. There's a huge car scene in this area and I'd love to share my experiences with you guys as much as possible. So after you read this, follow me or whatever, befriend me, just find a way to keep up with my posts.

So I'll tell you about my car now. It's a 2008 E92 in Melbourne Red Metallic. If someone could explain why it's considered a metallic I would love to hear it cause it doesn't look metallic to me no matter how close I put my face to the paint. Anyways, the car came with the Premium Package, Enhanced Sound Package, Technology Package, and most important to me, the Competition Package. I bought it two weeks ago with only 63,900 miles on the odometer.

The previous owner had perfect taste for this car and he modified it perfectly. I'll just give you the list: RPi GTM Axle-back exhaust system, Macht Schnell Stage II Intake Charge Kit, Macht Schnell Underdrive Pulley, BPM Sport Tune Stage I, Apex Arc-8 19" Rims, KW Coilovers, Carbon Fiber Front Splitters, Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser, and a Carbon Fiber Lip Spoiler. The car is putting down around 455-460 horsepower and 321-326 lb-ft of torque. It sounds incredible and gets lot of attention. Had it for two weeks and already have gotten about 4 people asking to buy the car. It's pretty funny but my baby, Rosie, isn't going anywhere any time soon.

Anyways, I want to become as involved with the car scene in my area and also the BMW M enthusiast scene all over. If anyone in the area wants to ever go on a drive whether it is mobbing in the canyons or tackling the freeway, I'm always up for it. I'll be at Supercar Sunday in Woodland Hills often and I frequently am at The Snake on Mulholland Hwy. Thinking about starting a separate Instagram account for my car to share my experience. If anyone thinks it's a good idea, let me know and it will definitely be considered.

I'm really looking forward to my future with Rosie and meeting all of you and allowing you guys to experience what I am so fortunate to. Feel free whenever to send me a message or ask me a question. Thanks for taking a look at this and have a great day with your beautiful cars!!!

Nice find! Love the MR paint.

Just curious, wasn't the competition package first available with the 2011 year model?

donut_boi · 07-06-2018, 07:48 PM

Welcome...always a fan of Melbourne Red!

Thank you. To answer your question, I am not entirely sure. I don't know if they specifically called it the Competition Package so I was just going off the carbon fiber roof option on the car. If you find out, let me know.

Welcome.. sweet ride.. I was looking at the melbourne red way back in 2008 as well but ended up with alpine white.. The Competition package wasn't available until 2011.. The carbon roof was available as a separate "free" option right from the start in coupes. You could either choose sunroof or carbon roof at no cost.

EDIT: not having the competition package doesn't seem to matter on your car anyways. Previous owner swapped in aftermarket coilovers, new rims and added the front carbon diffuser and rear spoiler. So he has a homemade competition M3

Thank you for the clarification. Glad the previous owner knew what he was doing haha

Getting off on interiors is way overrated, BOOF!
I'm all about the exterior. A lady in red is hard to beat, if the shoes are nice and the auspuff better be top notch!

Too funny Bemo, I'm a butt man and my favorite shot is 3/4 behind on an E90 and E92.

I agree BOOF, the butt is important, but in my opinion, a perfect woman should be admired from all angles
