2011 E92 M3 6MT S/C RBC Prem Technology Comp Alpine White 84k Miles

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
Sold

Item Interest
A little bit of bling, a whole lot of go. After dropping so much $$$ in the last 10 months, I now understand the difference between a $30-$35k base E92 M3 and a $40-$50k E92 modified M3. I just did not want the average M3 (albeit an exceptional vehicle from the factory), I wanted the exceptional M3 for showing off to my BMW buddies, the local BMW CCA and representing the BMW brand at the car shows. The majority of my upgrades were performed by me (correct torque specs, no missing fasteners, no short cuts), less the recent RBC, diff and engine mounts, Supercharger, coding, and Coilovers.

What makes this car different from the rest of the M3s for sale? 20" wheels and tires, ESS custom tuned supercharger, 3.5" MagnaFlow exhaust, all Alcantara interior, Recaro seats, and $26,000 (documented) of brand new parts with a built-in radar detection/jammer system to keep you somewhat safe from high dollar speeding tickets.

The Dyno results are verifiable which may or may not be a factor in your decision making process. I keep a copy of the Dyno runs in my glove box just in case I get called out at a car meet. Please note that the Dyno run was conducted in June, one month before the ESS tune and multiple new engine gaskets and seals.

I think that the discerning buyer, should determine from the pictures (see link below) and my description, if the car is in immaculate condition and if the recent upgrades (less than a year) are worth the extra money in negating the miles. For the majority of us M3 enthusiasts, we treat our cars like our kids (this M3 lives in a heated/air-conditioned garage) so negative comments will never be appreciated. This car has never been in an accident and I have its recent CarFax if someone is interested in seeing it (just PM me and I will send it to you). In summary, please don't be that tire kicker on this site wanting to buy for cheap by knocking other proud owner's cars.

I had the car re-coded European so that the TPMS and other codes worked more reliably. It can always be changed back to US coding but I do not recommend this. I also had the car coded GTS Euro MDM making the "fun" factor off the charts!

For more pictures, please visit (note that new IND Carbon fiber kidney grills, white powder-coated valve cover, and Motorsports bullet stud conversions were installed 2 weeks after these pictures were taken):

https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...34zb6OTOKOR-hl

And I can provide an Excel file with color coding and costs of all of this car's modifications which amount to $56k (no labor included). Just send me a PM with your personal email. And because someone will ask, yes, all vinyl stickers can be easily removed and no, I am not accepting any trades, and no, I will not sell any part individually. See attached picture for a listing of this car's options. Located in Greensboro NC

To all of the private messages that I have been receiving:

Yes, the BBK and PFC race pads are part of the deal. No, there are no codes. Yes, all of the recalls have been performed. No, there are no wheel spacers, this car has the correct hub-centric hubs for a "vibration free" ride, even at high speeds. No, all of this vehicle's underbody felt has been replaced by either new OEM or aluminum powder coated debris shields for a better than new appearance and reliability so there is no ripped or hanging felt like 99% of all used cars for sale have. Yes, I possess all receipts done since December 2017 (when I purchased the car) and yes, all upgrades, maintenance, and modifications are summarized in an Excel file as well as this accident free vehicle's CarFax (both can be provided electronically). And yes, the Recaro seats are extremely comfortable. And lastly, yes, I can assist with shipping the car to you with your selected carrier of choice. Thank you for all of the questions and interest...

Bump

In response to the latest two PMs, yes, I will assist you in taking the vehicle to a local and reputable BMW mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection (PPI). And yes, I have pictures of the newly installed IND Carbon Fiber Kidney grilles and the newly installed Motorsport Hardware 78mm bullet stud conversion kit. Just send me your email and I can get you the pictures.

I have decided to remove the BBK and quantity 4 PFC Compound brake pads from the sale of this vehicle with no price drop. Of note, I just spent another $2,400 (documented receipt) on some additional engine powder-coating and gasket work to make this engine as clean from fluid leaks as the day it rolled off the showroom floor. Additionally, new spring nut fasteners and phosphate coated hex heat screws were added to the felt pieces on its undercarriage (replaced as some had been nicked from hitting speed bumps). So validate your PPI results for no fluid leak(s) anywhere in the engine bay, differential, or transmission areas for comparison purposes; this may or may not be a deciding factor in your future purchase of the lower mileage M3s on this site that are for sale.

And for the latest PM, yes, the car is hooked up to a battery charger in its heated and air conditioned garage. And yes, the local international airport is only 15 minutes from my house and I will gladly come pick you up if you would like fly in for a test drive. Thanks again for all of the good questions!

The engine's valve cover was high-heat powder coated along with new gaskets this past weekend with an invoice total of $3,100 and not the $2,400 that I wrote in an earlier post. Sorry about the confusion.

For those who have asked...

Yes, I can supply pictures of the new white powder coated valve cover and yes, I do possess that receipt also. In addition, I just had the front windshield replaced last Saturday as it had 4 small chips in it from road debris making it even more of a "in like new" condition. Unfortunately, the front windshield's "BMW Performance" decal could not be removed so that accessory is no longer part of the deal.

For those who wanted to know, and I commend you for asking as it shows accolades that you are a true gear-head , I asked ESS Tuning if there was anything more that I could do to increase the available HP and Torque and he mentioned that a simple recharge kit on their K and N air filter would do this. And he was SO right! So if you are looking at other supercharged vehicles, ask the owner when was the last time they recharged their air filter (I believe that K and N suggests visual inspections every 15, 000 miles and never more than 50,000 miles for a recharge, especially if you live in a dusty region - it will help gauge the owner's true maintenance capability.

Oh, and I now have a replacement decal for the front windshield if the new owner wants it. Thank you to the member on this website who sold it to me.

Hello,

Is the shift knob from a newer version or where did you buy?

That is the exact shift lever that was on the car when I purchased it

The previous owner coupled it with a short shift kit.

Yes, the included Carly has a lifetime updates on it as it was purchased before March 2018. And it has all of the most recent updates. In addition, and thank you for asking, the car's navigation was updated with the latest software and yes, I have the receipt.

And yes, to the private message, the ESS supercharger had an updated tune to it a few months ago and the sale includes the ESS proprietary OBDII/dongles and software to perform this free update from ESS in the near future in case the new owner "bricks" the computer during a coding upgrade. But hey, that never happens, right? LOL

Clarification for GTS Euro MDM

In answer to the private message, yes, the car was recently coded to GTS Euro MDM (the most aggressive code) making this thing like a rocket ship around corners when the supercharger kicks on. The fun factor puts it well ahead of many higher priced supercars and sports cars since this thing is already on a rail due to its suspension upgrades.

Price drop to $47,995. I've read the rest of the adds and nobody else is validating their spend sheets on their cars with valid invoices so if you're looking for a car with basically a bunch of new parts that typically go bad on even a garage queen with 20k miles, then this might be worth checking out. I'm leaving it on for 3 more weeks as my fellow BMW CCA club members are telling me that I will never be able to purchase another E92 M2 in as nice of a condition as this one and are begging me to keep it for the upcoming car shows.

Beautiful car man. Where did you get that carbon fiber front lip from? Haven't seen that lip before.

Carbon fiber lip is from eBay

I got tired replacing the GTS styles every time there was a rock in the road or I exited an unfamiliar gas station. With the center cut-out, I can even get the vehicle on trailers now. This style is called VOR:

Can the OEM clutch handle an aftermarket Supercharger?

I read on this forum that the stock clutch and rear diff can handle upwards of 800+ hp at the flywheel so the OEM clutch coupled with ESS Tuning's 625 is well underneath the maximum. I only replaced the clutch and flywheel, like the recent RBC upgrade, as it just made sense to me at 80k miles. No issues whatsoever, but it has been less than 500 miles of driving on all of these new parts that I describe in the ad.
