Typical New M3 Introduction...Pic Heavy!

BMB063 · 03-12-2017, 04:02 PM

So after two months of searching, I finally bought an E92 M3. Long story short, I totaled my 335i so the most logical choice was to get into a M3. I really wanted another alpine white car, but was willing to get a few other colors. Anyways, here is my formal introduction to my M3. I bought it in Arizona and drove it all the way back to Ohio where I live. I saw the Grand Canyon, Cadillac Ranch and a handfull of other amazing places on the way back. It was an intense journey and I really got to know the car after about 2,000 miles over a long weekend. Everything went smoothly and I really love the car. It's really weird having such low torque coming from a tuned 335i, but the feeling over 5k rpm is something else! Anyways, here it is. I took tons of pictures on my way back.

Some specs:

2011 E92 M3
Competition Package
Convenience Package
Manual
30k Miles
Carbon Fiber Roof
Full Xpel Wrap

Here is my 335i that is gone:

Very nice, congratulations. Happy trails with it. Just got mine too. Very excited. I sold my 335i though, didn't wreck it....

Awesome! Car looks great, I also came from a tuned 335 to an e92 m3. It takes a little adjusting but you'll soon love the power delivery.

Enjoy!

Clean car, congrats! Are those ZCP wheels gunmetal or just shadowed? Looks sharp.

Yeah it was weird to get used to at first, but I really appreciate the high revving engine now!

I think they are just the standard finish. It sorta looks darker in certain lights and different filters with the camera.

Haha that's funny...I figured including that first picture was somewhat of a risk, but I wanted to make it clear how crazy I am for the AW E92! Thanks!

Stronie · 03-15-2017, 10:22 AM

Can't wait to see it and cruise! congrats, you made a great choice.

M3Fan1985 · 03-15-2017, 11:43 AM

Nice find!! Just saw your youtube video. Funny story, I bought my M3 from Ohio about a year and half ago and did the opposite drive. Enjoy!!!

Swizzie7 · 03-15-2017, 03:03 PM

Very nice, seen the youtube vid as well.

Agent-GHQ · 03-16-2017, 01:48 AM

You got the color right!

That's so weird! It sucks I couldn't find one near me. Well worth the trip though

Santi_M3 · 03-16-2017, 09:19 PM

Nice! Sweet choice! and yay for manual

Three Pedal Steve · 03-16-2017, 09:30 PM

Great pictures of the M3 at the gas pump. You will have many future photo ops from this vantage point. LOL

VitSports6 · 03-17-2017, 11:04 AM

Congrats!
You are taking your chances eating at Chipotle, but it sounds like everything worked out for the best.
