Can someone help me find my old LSB E92?

Hi guys, so I sold this car years ago and to this day I am regretting this decision. I wanted to find this car and hopefully buy it back. If anyone has any info on this car I would appreciate it. Last I've heard was in the northern cali area somewhere.

It was a 2012 LSB e92 m3 with Rust brown interior.

Here is the VIN. WBSKG9C53CE797781

thanks again for any help.

1 of 1 individual spec car? If yes I remember seeing this at the OG shift sector half mile airstrip event in Death Valley CA sometime in early 2012 and the owner was active on this forum.

Here it is for sale in 2020:

https://www.2040-cars.com/BMW/M3/201...terior-958573/

You could try to reach out to that guy and see who he sold it to.

In addition the car is listed on the VINWiki app. I’ve attached a screenshot of photos of the car from 2020. Could try reaching out to users who’ve posted photos of the car on the app to see where they saw it or if they know the owner.

What a stunning colour that is! Good luck to OP finding it back.

Not really, the whole idea here is that it was mine in the beginning. More sentimental than anything really.

That color combo is drool worthy. Hope you find it.

All of these posts solidify the fact that I’m never letting mine go.

Not sure if it’s the same one, the video says the accident occurred on November 16, 2019, but OPs car was up for sale in 2020.

Always the chance it was repaired without going through insurance, then promptly sold afterwards. Timeline works for that scenario.

Car in the video is the same color, same roll-bar, same diffuser, same black “M3” badge. Wouldn’t say that’s a coincidence.
