My New to Me 2008 e90 Alpin White M3

SCCAForums.com · 06-08-2009, 03:20 PM

Hey guys! Well... I seem to have been bitten by a BMW bug the past couple years... starting in December 2007... I purchased new a 335i Sedan... then Sold it to a friend, and purchased an '06 M5... and have now just picked up the new V8 M3! (Who could resist!) (Sold the M5 to my neighbor of all things... in 2 days!)

So... of course... I've got to figure out which exhaust to get for it (Like most BMW's... they're all way over priced... so going to have to wait a while on that one)...

I just picked up a set of wheels from Peter @ Wheel Experts... so once the tires come in... I'll post some updated pics... but here she is fresh from the drive home from the Dealership.

I was set on only a White e90 M3... and found the nearest one to me in Utah.

Love the car, tested the top speed limiter, on the drive home... which kicked in promptly at 168MPH...

Great Car! Mods to come soon I'm sure!

How can a forum own a car? You don't have any hands or feet

SCCAForums.com · 06-08-2009, 03:50 PM

LOL! Good stuff Fstop! I own the Forum... and the Car!

Or maybe I should say... I own the 'Forums' that owns the car?

blublur · 06-08-2009, 03:58 PM

I've only come across one other M3 here in Chandler and it's a black coupe. We pass each other all the time. Otherwise not another one anywhere down here that I've seen. Nice to see someone else with one. Are you lovin' it?

Sorry for asking, but what about break-in?

Anyway, congrats on the purchase!

SCCAForums.com · 06-08-2009, 07:13 PM

Hey Racer... Sorry... car had 9,900 miles on it when purchased!

as 'new to me'... but not 'Brand new'!

So no worries!!

Thanks for all the congrats! I'll look forward to posting pics as I get the mods going on her!

Nice Catch JC! Yeah... after driving 9 hours from Salt Lake to N. Phoenix... I just couldn't stand her to be dirty... so swung into Danny's up on Happy Valley & I-17... just before they closed to get her all cleaned up!

Peace,
Dave

Cost???

SCCAForums.com · 06-10-2009, 09:01 PM

They were asking $48K... we got it for a bit less... but they did have another buyer there... attempting to buy it out from under me... for the full $48K... dealer stood by our deposit, and agreed upon price!

Thanks!

Dave
