MR E90s unite!

Delivery date: 2008/09/10

Actually, wasn't my first choice, but I basically told the dealer that I'll take anything BUT AW. Bile.... I mean.... Phoenix.... Yellow isn't available anymore, so I was OK with the rest of the colours except AW, as long as it has a black interior.

Besides, I said, I'll even take that red one you've had sitting outside the dealership, facing 2 busy streets that I stare at as I drive through every week, since MAY, as long as you don't rape me on trading in the '07 335i ZSP that I got from you 1 1/2 years ago.

So, here's "that red one."

2008 E90 M3 Sedan, Canadian Spec, comes with heated front seats, split-folding rear seats and through-load ski bag as standard.

Black Novillo leather + titanium trim.

19in Style 220M wheels.

High-gloss shadow line.

MDrive Package (iDrive, Nav, Bluetooth, MDrive Menu, Voice Control).

Audiophile Package (Sirius with 1yr, USB Audio, BMW Individual Sound).

Nice car Veritable... love your plates.

Here is mine, stock (although not any more) at delivery yesterday... 2008 M3 sedan, Melbourne with Black Novillo. Never would have been possible without the huge rebates/discounts available in Canada... not to mention the 0.5% finance rate. Next pics will include a bunch of mods, nothing major though.

slalomfever · 02-11-2009, 04:35 PM

I agree that you have to see the color in person to appreciate it. I love this color. I actually ordered one....pics will follow soon.

JW · 06-19-2009, 05:49 PM

Just picked up my new 2008 Melbourne Red sedan!

No, those were the VMR CSL replicas... these are the ZCP (9.5" rears in all four corners):

The color changes, depending on the light and time of day. Here's a picture later in the day, which gives the car a darker hue:

WHOA!!!!!

Jpete41996 · 07-27-2009, 12:37 PM

Can't wait to get my MR coupe. i love the sedan, but the coupe in red is awsome, too

IbanezGod · 05-09-2010, 10:07 AM

how is everyone's Red holding up? I posted in the IB thread too... because I'm stuck between the two. MR seems that it will stay nice even when dirty, but just worried about it being too flashy. Love the IB but worried it will be like maintaining black and always look like crap when dirty since I don't have a garage.

Any feedback on everyone's MR ownership appreciated!

I've been wanting to see a MR sedan in the flesh for some time. Today I saw one on the road for the first time. I must say, it was stunning!!! At this point it is definitely my favorite color on the E90 M3.

bavarian19 · 06-22-2010, 09:35 PM

Any real life LCI sedans in MR?

cap_freez · 06-23-2010, 03:28 AM

This is one of a few colors that the LCI tails really make a big difference on.
