It's by no means my 'perfect' car, but its 1/2 way there, and will give me the opportunity to get used to the E92 platform whilst my search continues, so at least I'll be entertained.

Thanks to everyone that helped thus far and for all those that reached out to me, had some very good offers popping up.

My search goes on, and I've updated the original post to reflect my exact specifications.

That would be my dream colour combo. I'd happily sell my AW/FR Ext 6MT ZCP for your exact colour combo, lol.

Haha, truth be told, the more time I spend with it, the bamboo isn't actually that bad.

I could never see why popular opinion went against Bamboo. My first test when I began shopping for my car was in an MW coupe over Bamboo, and I thought it looked perfect. I think it would look best under any of the black paints.

If I bought the car new, bamboo would have been one of my options.
The problem I have with 10 year old bamboo, is that for one reason or the other, a lot of people neglect their leather, and in my opinion unfortunately beige if neglected just doesn't seem to age as well as your typical darker dyed leather.

You can probably see from the pic, this one isn't too bad or too far gone by any means, but it needs some work to bring it up to where I'd be happy.

Whoops you're right! Thanks for the catch and apologies to the OP for the mix-up!

[TriniBoy]

pjatgod Sorry for the delay in response. Nice car man, really nice, but like jiggz mentioned, 6MT is a must.

Looking for a similar car. Bump.

Got one in the garage 49k miles. But DCT

[br2wdc]

I shopped for 3+ months and lost two possible cars before I jumped on the car I purchased.

For about 10 seconds I briefly considered not getting the car because of it's Bamboo Beige interior, but I quickly came to my senses and purchased it.

I love the color, the DCT, essentially everything about the car and feel very fortunate.

My suggestion is to be ready when the opportunity presents itself for an IB/LMB car, and move quickly on every aspect with a determined but measured approach working with the current owner/dealer.

I was lucky that the previous owner and I were of similar mindset when it came to the questions I was asking, needing a PPI, etc ... especially having to do everything remotely.

Good luck!

Ultimately I sacrificed the 6MT for color. Sometimes I wish I had a manual, but I never wish I picked a different color.

There's only a few hundred LMB e92 M3s out there.

Good luck!

I know a guy on FB selling his LMB 6mt with I think 30k miles, has not been publicly listed... he is asking a lot for it (60k+). I've been looking for an lmb 6mt superman for over a year... its hard. Id be willing to shoot over his info if you'd be interested.
