2008 E90 M3 with all LCI/CIC 2009+ Updates


After 4 years of ownership and thousands of dollars invested to make this car a lifelong passion and one day toy for one of my 2 sons, that term has come short due to life changes.

I bought this car off another member back on New Years Day 2019 after finding it had a clear CarFax and after performing my pre-purchase inspection.

The last owner before me had the car for nearly 4 years and put approximately 6K miles on the car during the spring, summer, and fall months of New Hampshire (it was stored in his garage under a cover during winter months). Before that the car was located in Las Vegas and before that the original owner was out of Calabasa/Malibu, CA. That original/1st owner put the vast majority of miles on the car (54K in just over 2 years! He was doing long distance commuting). …I have receipts on the car ever since the owner out of Las Vegas.

Upon taking possession of the vehicle, in January 2019 it went up on jack stands for 4 months in my climate-controlled garage since snow was still flying in New Hampshire. Detailing to the Alpine White paint, interior, and undercarriage was performed at this time. Once snow stopped falling, I brought the car to Turner Motorsport (If you are a fan of BMW’s, you know Turner Motorsport from their years of premier racing at the National level with their winning drivers and cars. Turner also had lines of performance products to better various BMW’s, but sold to ESC Tuning). While at Turner, I had them change and inspect every fluid on the car as well as comb over the vehicle for any points of concern. Nothing was found and Will Turner said the car looked in great shape.

From this point on, the car received a “no expense spared” approach to keeping it the best it could possibly be using Turner Motorsports (Until they dissolved their maintenance division to focus on racing), Tulley BMW of Nashua, NH, or H&M Motorsport of Merrimack, NH (H&M performs work on high end exotics) using OEM or Turner Motorsport products.
Oil changes were performed at every 2,000miles in the spring each year once pulled out of winter storage (The car never saw more than 2K miles/year).

This was to be my “forever” vehicle and passed to one of my sons, so the approach of preventative maintenance with a solid touch of obsessive-compulsive disorder was used to care for the car. When driven, it was warmed up to operating temperature before driving, then warming of the transmission and differential took place before any spirited driving occurred.

2 bucket car washes were only used and it was only driven on the nicest of spring, summer, and fall days; it was stored in the winters in a climate-controlled garage under a car cover.

No buttons, lights, cupholders, trim pieces, mechanicals, etc are broken; Everything on this M3 works and works flawlessly, however, there are a few items I'm not happy with:
1) The "power dome"/hood bulge has 3 back-to-back in a line ships from a previous owner. The pic here barely shows it.
2) The front passenger side bumper was hit by a large piece of bark mulch coming off a landscaping truck, thus there's an imperfection there.
3) Two of the four rims have a few scuffs from the last owner taking the car through a car wash.
4) Back bumper has a ding in the center caused when the last owner was backing the car up into his garage after we shook hands on the sale of the car! The picture shows this.
