DanMpower || Melbourne Red E92 6MT
3/3/2023 Delivery Day
Meet my 2009 Melbourne Red E92 M3 6MT on black extended leather. 16K miles. I saw this gem on Carvana a few months ago showing "Purchase in Progress" and I was so bummed because it's almost the perfect spec I was after with only 16k miles! I added my contact to be alerted if somehow the sale fell through and sorta forgot about it, but as luck would have it, I received a text a couple of weeks ago saying it just became available. I jumped on the computer and placed the order. There were a couple of shipping delays along the way but the car finally arrived from Texas, I took a chance since I had to pay a non-refundable $1800 shipping fee upfront. Carvana gives you a 7-day return policy so I'll be going through it with a fine tooth comb, so far it seems nearly perfect from my initial inspection. This is my first time driving an E9x M3 with such low miles, everything just felt tight and solid, plus a bonus it still has the new BMW smell. The dealer drilled the front plate into the bumper after I repeatedly asked them not to. Other than that, the purchase and delivery went smoothly, I knew I couldn't stay away too long, it's so good to be back in an E9x M3. Last edited by DanMpower; 05-06-2024 at 01:41 PM.. |

So autosolutions SSK, some sort of xpipe exhaust setup, and ZCP wheels.
What else is part of the DanMpower formula?

Needs some maintenance items squared away first, I only have what Carfax reported to go on as far maintenance records. Installed my MPE yesterday so I might skip an X-Pipe this time around. Still debating on doing ZCPs or a squared 18 setup. What's funny was I had a V2 MPE stashed all this time knowing I'll be back. Last edited by DanMpower; 04-13-2023 at 04:39 AM.. |

The strange thing is Carvana notated tiny little almost imperceivable imperfections on the website, I'm talking like tiny little rock chips which you could barely make out in person but then totally doesn't mention the little ripple at the bottom of the front bumper which you can clearly see. Other things I've found annoying:
Minor issues in the grand scheme of things, but overall still absolutely in love with the car. Not sure about the fees yet since nobody at Carvana seems to be able to answer any questions regarding DMV stuff, they just say if I overpaid I'll get a refund.

Congrats on the clean car! I feel as though I’m doing the same thing; addressing all the maintenance/neglected replacements that should have been done.
It’s nice at the end when you know everything is up to your standards!

Yes sir, especially when Carvana over-filled the car when they did the oil change. Couldn't wait for my FCP order so I headed down to the local NAPA and to my delight they carried Liqui-Moly. Fresh oil and filter in, all good now. Last edited by DanMpower; 01-01-2024 at 04:07 AM.. |
