Looks like you've been making good use of that glory hole in front bumper. SO much in fact that you're not even putting the said glory hole cover back on!

That's the one! I had intentions of doing the same with my car. But life happens!

There's a guy that frequents Road Atlanta in his no option (other than ZCP) Melbourne Red E90 6MT slicktop. Makes me all giggity to see because it's my doppelganger sans Jet Black. Absolute beauty of a car! FuzzyPeaches knows what I'm talking about

. wish me luck. I just sometimes ask myself if red is too flashy for daily driving but I'm not passing on this rare beast if everything checks out.

Could be my old car - I sold it to a guy in Boston in Oct 2015. VIN ended in 8964

They go for around $1600 per set, the are flowformed and lighter than the OEM ZCP wheel. They aren't ZCP replica wheels but do stay in that type of styling which I love.

After 10 years we really love it! Especially like the almost cinnamon tone to the color in certain lighting.

True. Very under appreciated nor mentioned quality to this color. Every time my wife's Audi headlights pass over the MR it definitely has a deep orange like cinnamon quality. Very nice.

Back in 2008, Melbourne Red e92 M3 was the sure way to attract law enforcement. It was considered too provocative, hence the popularity of Alpine White. Today, these M3 are unrecognized and Melbourne not such a waving red flag.

Personally it is one of my favorite colors on the M3. The first M3 I drove was the dealer's demo Melbourne red e-93 six speed. The sales associate put the top down and then held on with both hands!

According to 'the chart' there are 126 LCI and 86 pre. Mines not slicktop unfortunately but I love it just the same, bonus speed cloth!
